Bath Repair in Netherthong

- Repairs from £95
- Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
- Chips under the taps
Repairs by material
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid, and frequently freestanding. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour-matched, just like other baths.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are thick and very strong, finished with fired enamel. Chips can rust if left, but the body of the bath lasts a very long time, which makes it well worth repairing.
Bath repair in Netherthong without replacing anything
Whether your bath is steel, cast iron or acrylic, we can repair it. Each material is repaired a little differently: metal baths need any rust dealt with first, and acrylic cracks need support from behind. Our repair technicians work on pressed steel enamel, acrylic and cast iron enamel, and people most frequently call us about a cracked acrylic bath and a failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee.

How it works
We begin by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. Then the area is sheeted and masked and we start. It normally takes a few hours, depending on the damage, and we’ll keep you posted as we go.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- We clean, key and degrease the damage.
- Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
- Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
- We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the next day.
Preparing for the visit
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access

Advice
Looking after it afterwards
Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
Do not leave razors, cans or hair grips in the bath, because they can mark the enamel. And fix dripping taps promptly.
Tape over a fresh chip or crack until it’s repaired, so water can’t get in. Remove it before the repair.
Should you replace it?
Cast iron baths in particular are worth repairing: they’re very heavy to remove, especially upstairs, and a like-for-like replacement can be expensive. Repairing it leaves it where it is. Our bath repair starts from £95. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You will see the full price before you book.

Netherthong: your questions answered
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.
Is the work guaranteed?
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Can rust on a bath be repaired?
Yes. We take out the rust and any loose enamel, fill the area, then colour-match the finish.
Can you quote from pictures?
Nearly always. If photos do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.
Can you repair a hole in a bath?
In most cases. Photos of the hole and the underside help us check.
Are there extra charges for Netherthong?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Do the materials smell?
A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.

When to call us in Netherthong
Most bath damage comes from something dropped: a shampoo bottle, a shower head, a tile or a tool during a refit. On steel and cast iron baths, any chip down to the metal lets water in, and rust follows.
If you can see any of these, send us a photo:
- A chipped rim or side
- Cracks in an acrylic bath
- Rusty patches near the plughole
- A failed DIY repair that is discoloured or lifting
Before booking anyone
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- How soon you can use it again
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- Who turns up on the day
What we can’t put right
We’d rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
- Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we can’t get to from below
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

DIY kit or professional repair?
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
