DIY repairs versus a professional job

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

Bath repair at your home in Little Urswick

Most bath damage, from chips and cracks to rust spots and holes, is repaired in place. There is no plumbing to disconnect, the tiles are not touched, and the repaired area is colour-matched so it blends in. If you are dealing with chips along the edge of the bath and scuffs and scratches in the surface, we can help.

Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee.

Repair or replace in Little Urswick?

Cast iron baths especially are worth keeping: they’re very heavy to remove, especially upstairs, and a like-for-like replacement can be expensive. A repair keeps it in place. Our bath repair starts from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Little Urswick. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed price from photos. These are the things that affect it:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Send pictures for a quote

We price nearly every job from photos. This is what to send:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A photo taken from further back

For a price in Little Urswick, the easiest route is photos: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

How it works

Here’s how a visit normally runs: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and clear up. Allow a few hours, depending on the damage from start to finish. Before we go, we’ll explain when it can be used and how to look after it.

  1. We start by cleaning the damage and taking out loose enamel and rust.
  2. The chip or crack is filled, then sanded level with the bath.
  3. We tint the finish on the day to suit your bath’s shade of white or colour.
  4. Finish coats go on, then the repair is polished to blend in.
  5. The repair is left to cure, and most baths can be used the next day.

Before we arrive

  • Open a window if you can
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Keeping it looking good

Looking after the surface is easy:

  • Make sure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
  • Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
  • Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
  • Give the bath a quick rinse after use

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, avoiding abrasives.

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.

Repairs by material

Composite and resin

Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid, and often freestanding. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour matched, just like other baths.

Pressed steel

Steel baths are lighter than cast iron, but have a similar enamel surface. Exposed steel rusts fast, particularly by the plughole, so early repairs matter.

What a repair cannot fix

We won’t take on work that will not last, so these are the limits:

  • A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
  • Wear across the entire surface, which needs re-enamelling
  • Cracks in acrylic we cannot reach from underneath

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before you book.

What we’re called out for in Little Urswick

Most bath damage comes from something dropped: bottles, shower heads, tiles and tools. On steel and cast iron baths, a chip that reaches the metal will start to rust.

Most people get in touch when they notice one of these:

  • Impact holes in acrylic
  • Snagging damage from a refit
  • An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
  • A chipped rim or side
