How we handle bath repair in Meadowbank

Whatever has happened to the bath, we aim for the same result: a smooth, solid repair that blends in. Proper preparation, careful filling and shaping, then colour and gloss matching so it’s level with the surrounding surface. Whether it’s scuffs and scratches in the surface and chips under the taps, we can help.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re not left on your own once we have gone.

Aftercare tips

A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:

  • Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
  • If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
  • Rinse it down after each bath
  • Cover the bath during DIY or decorating

Look after the repair the same way as the bath: a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs. Keep scouring pads and gritty cleaners away from it.

A small chip is a quick job. Leave them and they collect dirt, stain and, on metal baths, rust, so early repair saves time and money.

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing a fitted bath normally involves a plumber, lifting out the old bath, re-tiling and a new panel and getting rid of the old bath. Repairing it deals only with the damage in a single visit. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Meadowbank. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Why us?

  • Fixed prices from your photos
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year

What affects the price in Meadowbank

Prices start from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Meadowbank. The price comes down to:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • How many areas need work
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Quotes from your pictures

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:

  • One picture of the whole bath
  • Any details about the material
  • Details of any past repairs
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

We price from pictures so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.

The process

Here’s how a visit usually runs: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, do the job and clear up. Plan for a morning or an afternoon from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and how to care for it.

  1. Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
  2. We clean, key and degrease the damage.
  3. Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
  4. Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
  5. We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the following day.

Before we arrive

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Repairs by material

Composite and resin

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

Cast iron

Cast iron is heavy and rigid, finished with fired enamel. Chips can rust if left, but the bath itself lasts for generations, which makes it well worth repairing.

Honest limits

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

  • A whole bath that’s dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
  • Cracks in acrylic we can’t reach from underneath
  • A steel bath rusted through

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

What we work on

  • Pressed steel enamel
  • Whirlpool & spa baths
  • Cast iron enamel
  • Acrylic
