Bath repair near Maidenhall

How to look after the repair

Nothing complicated is needed:

  • A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
  • Give the bath a quick rinse after use
  • Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
  • Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth

Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and try not to drop heavy bottles on the repair. Get any new chip seen to quickly, before rust can start.

Avoid standing in a cracked acrylic bath until it’s fixed. Every use opens the crack a little more, and water can get through to the floor below.

How we handle bath repair in Maidenhall

Small damage on a bath is worth repairing early. Exposed metal on enamelled baths soon rusts, and on acrylic, a crack keeps spreading while the bath flexes. Repairing it stops the damage getting worse. Our technicians work on cast iron enamel, roll-top & freestanding and pressed steel enamel, and the jobs we see most are a chipped rim or side and snagging damage from a refit.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re covered after the visit.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

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, a professional repair is worth it.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Acrylic

An acrylic bath is a moulded sheet strengthened from below. They don’t rust, but they can crack, scratch or be holed, and cracks need support from behind to stay fixed.

Composite and resin

Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, just like other baths.

When a repair is not the answer

It helps to know what we can’t do too:

  • A steel bath rusted through
  • Wear across the entire surface, which needs re-enamelling
  • A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

Surfaces we repair

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

Work for landlords and builders

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Luton and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

How the visit works

Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so you know exactly what we are doing. Then the area is sheeted and masked and the work begins. It normally takes a few hours, depending on the damage, and we will keep you posted as we go.

  1. First, we check the damage against your pictures and agree the plan.
  2. Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
  3. We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to 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.

Before we arrive

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Getting a price

Send us pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you are in Maidenhall, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

Send us a photo if you notice any of these:

  • Rusty patches near the plughole
  • Damage beneath the taps
  • Chips along the edge of the bath
  • Deep scratches in acrylic

Before booking anyone

  • What happens if they find more damage
  • Whether a trained technician does the job
