DIY kit or professional repair?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
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.
Repairs by material
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are thick and very strong, finished with fired enamel. A chip down to the iron can rust, but the body of the bath lasts a very long time, so it’s always worth repairing.
Acrylic
An acrylic bath is a moulded sheet strengthened from below. They do not rust, but they can crack, scratch or be holed, and a crack only stays repaired if it’s supported underneath.
The process
Once we’re through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes a morning or an afternoon, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
- Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
- We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
- We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
- The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.
How to prepare
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Let us know about parking or access
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
Getting a price
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures using our quote form or ring us. We’ll say right away whether it can be repaired.
Advice
Nateby: your questions answered
Can you repair a crack in an acrylic bath?
In most cases. We reinforce the crack from behind, then fill and refinish the front, so access behind the panel is important.
Is there a call-out fee?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
I tried a repair kit. Can you fix it?
Yes, we do this frequently. We strip it out, deal with any rust and repair it again.
Can you repair several things at once?
Of course, and it usually saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.
How invisible is a bath repair?
On a glossy bath, you will struggle to find it. On worn enamel, it can look shinier than the rest.
Are you accredited?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Just keep them out of the work area. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Landlord and trade work in Nateby
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
How to look after the repair
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
- Don’t scrub with anything abrasive
- Do not leave a fresh chip for long
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy items on the repaired area. Get any new chip seen to quickly, before rust can start.
Rust spreads under enamel faster than most people expect. 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.
