How to care for the repair

It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:

  • Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
  • Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
  • Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
  • Get any new chip repaired before it rusts

There’s nothing special to do after a repair. Skip bleach and gritty creams and give it a rinse after each bath.

Small chips are quick to repair. Leave them and they collect dirt, stain and, on metal baths, rust, so early repair saves time and money.

Common problems we fix in Londonderry

Many chips happen while the bathroom is being fitted. Tradespeople drop tools and tiles into the bath, and the damage is not always spotted until later. We repair snagging damage like this regularly.

If you can see any of these, send us a photo:

  • Rust by the waste and overflow
  • Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
  • A cracked acrylic bath
  • An old repair that has yellowed or come loose

Our hiring checklist

Repair or replace: which is better?

Cast iron baths in particular are worth repairing: they’re very heavy to remove, especially upstairs, and a like-for-like replacement can be expensive. Repairing it leaves it where it is. Prices start from £95. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You will see the full price before booking.

Why us?

  • Fixed prices from your photos
  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • One price list for the entire UK
  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing

Read our prices page and bath cost comparison.

Honest limits

A repair isn’t right for every job, for example:

  • Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
  • Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
  • Cracks in acrylic we can’t reach from underneath

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.

The process

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you know when to expect us. On site, it takes two to three hours for most chips for most jobs. The room is left tidy and you’ll know when it can be used.

  1. We clean the area and remove any loose enamel or rust.
  2. Next we fill the damage and sand it smooth and level.
  3. The colour is mixed on the spot to match your bath.
  4. We apply the finish coats and polish the repair so it blends in.
  5. Once it has cured, generally by the following day, the bath is ready to use.

How to prepare

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that is the part we put right.

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
