Bath repair in Londonderry, done in place

You don’t need a new bath because of a chip. We fill the damage, shape it to the curve of the bath and refinish it, mixing the colour on the day. Our repair technicians work on pressed steel enamel, cast iron enamel and roll-top & freestanding, and the jobs we see most are a failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting and cracks in an acrylic bath.

All our work comes with our one-year guarantee.

Landlord and trade work in Londonderry

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Birmingham and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Londonderry use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

How the visit works

Your technician turns up when we said we would and checks the damage against your photos first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. Most visits take two to three hours for most chips, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
  2. Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
  3. The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
  4. We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
  5. Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.

How to prepare

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Ask for a price

Email us pictures of the damage and one of the entire item, with your B68 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

Advice

Aftercare tips

Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:

  • Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
  • Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
  • Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
  • Give the bath a quick rinse after use

In the first few days, avoid putting weight or bottles on the repair. After that, normal gentle cleaning is fine without abrasive products.

Tape over a fresh chip or crack until it’s repaired, to keep water out. Take it off before we arrive.

Londonderry: your questions answered

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Most of the time. Tell us what was done before.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.

Will there be a smell?

It depends on the job, but often a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.

How much does bath repair cost in Londonderry?

Repairs from £95. Every job gets a fixed price based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.

What happens after I send pictures?

You’ll get a fixed quote back, generally with dates to choose from. There’s no obligation to book.

When can you do it?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.

Do you charge for travel?

There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.

Can you match an avocado or pink bath?

Yes. The colour is mixed on site to suit your bath, including older coloured suites.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing a bath rarely stops at the bath: tiles along the rim generally crack when it comes out, a new panel is frequently needed, and the plumbing has to be disconnected and refitted. Repairing the damage avoids all of that. Prices start from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Why Londonderry customers choose us

  • No need to remove anything
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • One price list for the entire UK
  • A year’s guarantee on all work

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. You will know the full cost before booking. We take into account:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The type of damage

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Getting a price from photos

We price nearly every job from photos. This is what we need:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

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

DIY kit or professional repair?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

When a repair isn’t the answer

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
  • Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
  • Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before booking.

What we work on

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

Common problems we fix in Londonderry

Glass and heavy bottles cause more chips than anything else. Fittings cause damage too: water collects there, so chips nearby rust quickly.

Keep an eye out for these signs:

  • A chipped rim or side
  • Chips under the taps
  • Cracks in an acrylic bath
  • Scuffs and scratches in the surface

What your quote should include

  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • When it can be used again
