Bath repair in Little Henny, done in place

A damaged bath does not have to mean a new bathroom. Our repair technicians fill, shape and refinish the damage, with the colour mixed on site so the repair is hard to spot. If you are dealing with a failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting and rusty patches near the plughole, we can usually put it right, on roll-top & freestanding, acrylic and whirlpool & spa baths alike.

Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before you book.

When to call us in Little Henny

Rust tends to begin where water collects, around the waste, under the taps or in an old chip. Water on bare metal causes rust that creeps under the surrounding enamel.

You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:

  • Cracks in an acrylic bath
  • Chips under the taps
  • Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
  • Rust by the waste and overflow

Aftercare tips

Aftercare is simple:

  • Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
  • Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
  • Don’t scrub with anything abrasive
  • Have new chips seen to early

In the first few days, avoid putting weight or bottles on the repair. After that, clean it as you would the rest of the bath.

If an acrylic bath has a crack, stop showering in it until it’s repaired. Every use opens the crack a little more, and it can start to leak underneath.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Pressed steel

Pressed steel is thinner and lighter, with an enamel finish like cast iron. Chips rust quickly on steel, especially around the waste, so repair chips early.

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

When a repair isn’t the answer

Some jobs are not right for a repair, for example:

  • Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
  • Wear across the whole surface, which needs re-enamelling
  • Cracks in acrylic we can’t reach from underneath

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Materials we repair

  • Acrylic
  • Cast iron enamel
  • Whirlpool & spa baths
  • Pressed steel enamel
  • Roll-top & freestanding

Why repair rather than replace?

People often assume a cracked or chipped bath has to come out. Usually it doesn’t: a proper repair gives it years more use, without the cost and upheaval of replacing it. Prices start from £95. A repair typically costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.

How the visit works

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you know when to expect us. Once we’re there, the work takes a few hours in most cases. We leave the room clean.

  1. We protect the bath and the floor around it.
  2. We clean, key and degrease the damage.
  3. We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
  4. We match both the colour and the shine.
  5. We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the day after.

Preparing for the visit

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Ensure the area is dry

Getting a price

We price from photos so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.
