Aftercare tips

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Do not scrub with anything abrasive
  • Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
  • If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
  • Do not leave razors or cans standing in the bath

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

Don’t leave a chip on a steel or cast iron bath. Once water reaches the metal, rust begins, and a rust spot is a bigger repair than a clean chip.

Bath repair at your home in Merrylee

Whether your bath is steel, cast iron or acrylic, we can repair it. The method changes with the material: metal baths need any rust dealt with first, and acrylic cracks need support from behind. Common call-outs are for an old repair that has yellowed or come loose and holes from dropped items, in acrylic, roll-top & freestanding and whirlpool & spa baths.

We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

The process

We begin by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we are doing. After that, protection goes down around the work area and the work begins. Allow two to three hours for most chips, and we’ll tell you if anything changes.

  1. Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
  2. We clean, key and degrease the damage, and any rust is treated.
  3. Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
  4. Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
  5. We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, usually the day after.

Preparing for the visit

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Open a window if you can
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Prices and what affects them

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

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • How many areas need work
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • What the surface is made of

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Getting a price from pictures

Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • A picture taken from further back

Upload a photo of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you are in Merrylee, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

Do you need bath repair in Merrylee?

Nearly all the chips we see start with something being dropped: a shampoo bottle, a shower head, a tile or a tool during a refit. On steel and cast iron baths, a chip that reaches the metal lets water in, and rust follows.

Most people contact us after spotting something like this:

  • A cracked acrylic bath
  • A kit repair that didn’t last
  • A hole punched through by something heavy
  • Chips along the edge of the bath

What your quote should include

  • How the colour is matched
  • How soon you can use it again
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • What prep work is covered

10 questions to ask before you book

When a repair isn’t the answer

We’d rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so these are the limits:

  • Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
  • Cracks in acrylic we cannot reach from underneath
  • A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before you book.

Surfaces we repair

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

Should you replace it?

Cast iron baths in particular are worth repairing: getting one out, particularly from an upstairs bathroom, is a big job, and a like-for-like replacement can be expensive. A repair keeps it in place. Prices start from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.

What you get with us

  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • Repair technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface

Repairs by material

Composite and resin

Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, just like other baths.

Pressed steel

Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.

Can you fix rust around the plughole?

Yes. We remove the rust and loose enamel, fill the area, then colour-match the finish.

Yes. We work across the UK and come to Merrylee. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
