How we handle bath repair in Loggerheads

Whatever has happened to the bath, we aim for the same result: a smooth, solid repair that blends in. We prepare the area properly, fill and shape it, then match the colour and gloss so it sits flush with the rest of the bath. Whether it’s rust by the waste and overflow and chips on the rim or sides, we can help, whatever the material.

All our work comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Shropshire.

Bath enamel chip by the waste, filled and colour matched (before and after)

What your bath is made of matters

Pressed steel

Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

Looking after it afterwards

Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:

  • Put a towel in the bath if you’re working above it
  • Don’t leave a fresh chip for long
  • If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
  • Store metal items away from the bath

For the first few days, keep heavy bottles off the repaired spot. After that, clean it as you would the rest of the bath.

Rust under enamel spreads surprisingly quickly. A chip the size of a fingernail can become a much larger patch if it’s left for months, so it pays to deal with it early.

What happens on the day

We agree an arrival time beforehand. Once we are there, the work takes a morning or an afternoon. We leave the room clean and you will know when it can be used.

  1. First, we check the damage against your photos and agree the plan.
  2. Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
  3. The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
  4. The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
  5. The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.

How to prepare

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Advice

Why repair rather than replace?

A new bath costs more than the bath itself: taking out the old one, plumbing, tiling, a panel and redecorating. With a repair, it’s one visit and one price. Our bath repair starts from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Why us?

  • Same prices wherever you are
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish

See our prices page and resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.

What we cannot put right

Some jobs are not right for a repair, including:

  • A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
  • A steel bath rusted through
  • Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)

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

Surfaces we repair

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

What affects the price in Loggerheads

Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • The material
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • The size and number of damaged areas

Compared with replacing, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

How to get a fixed quote

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Try to send:

  • Any details about the material
  • Details of any past repairs
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Something in shot to show the size

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole bath, add your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.

Signs you need bath repair in Loggerheads

Acrylic baths that crack nearly always have a support problem. Loose legs, no proper cradle or a floor that gives let the base flex until the acrylic gives way.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
  • Chips along the edge of the bath
  • A hole punched through by something heavy
  • Rust by the waste and overflow

What your quote should include

  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • What prep work is covered
  • Aftercare advice
  • How the colour is matched

Our hiring checklist

Should I try a DIY kit first?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
