Materials and what they mean for the repair

Acrylic

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

Cast iron

Cast iron is heavy and rigid, with a fused enamel surface. A chip down to the iron can rust, but the bath itself lasts for generations, which makes it well worth repairing.

Common questions in Luddington

Can you match an avocado or pink bath?

Yes, we match coloured baths too. We tint the finish to your bath on site.

Will there be a smell?

There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

You get a fixed quote and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.

How long before I can use the bath?

Typically within a day, depending on the repair.

Is there a guarantee?

Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Can you repair a failed DIY repair?

Yes, we do this often. We strip it out, deal with any rust and repair it again.

How do I book?

Photos of the damage, a photo of the whole bath and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Normally, yes. The old repair comes out first.

Work for landlords and builders

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

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

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. We price every job individually. What matters most is:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The material
  • How much damage there is
  • The colour and finish to match

A repair normally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Quotes from your photos

The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • One picture of the whole bath
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

How to look after the repair

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
  • If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
  • Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
  • Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby

Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy items on the repaired area. Deal with new chips early, before rust can start.

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 early repair keeps the cost down.

What a repair cannot fix

A repair is not right for every job, for example:

  • Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
  • Metal that has corroded all the way through
  • A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense

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

What we work on

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

Repair or replace in Luddington?

If the rest of the bath is in good condition, a repair is almost always the better choice. It’s quicker, cheaper and far less disruptive, and the bathroom stays as it is. Where the whole surface is tired, we may suggest re-enamelling instead. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

What you get with us

  • Same prices wherever you are
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor

How the visit works

When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job generally takes a few hours, depending on the damage. We clean up when we’re done and let you know when you can use it again.

  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. We mix the colour on the day to match your bath’s exact shade.
  4. We apply the finish coats and polish the repair so it blends in.
  5. We leave it to cure; you can usually use the bath the following day.

Before we arrive

  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

How to get a price

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed price.

DIY kit or professional repair?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
