How we handle bath repair in Northease

Whatever the damage, the aim is the same: a repair that is smooth, sound and hard to spot. We prepare the area properly, fill and shape it, then match the colour and gloss so it sits flush with the rest of the bath. We work on cast iron enamel, acrylic and whirlpool & spa baths, and common reasons people get in touch are chips caused by builders and chips under the taps.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard.

Questions from Northease

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Of course, and it generally saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and you will get one combined price.

What areas do you cover?

The whole UK, including all of East Sussex. Send your postcode with your photos and we will offer you dates.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

We review the pictures and send a fixed quote.

When can I have a bath again?

Usually within a day, depending on the repair.

How soon can you come?

We’ll give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Will you leave a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.

Do I need to be at home?

We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.

Repair or replace: which is better?

People frequently assume a cracked or chipped bath has to come out. Usually it does not: a repair keeps the bath in service for years, without the cost and upheaval of replacing it. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

What you get with us

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

Keeping it looking good

It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:

  • Rinse it down after each bath
  • Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
  • Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
  • Have new chips seen to early

There is nothing special to do after a repair, just sensible cleaning. Skip bleach and gritty creams.

Rust under enamel spreads surprisingly quickly. 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.

What bath repair costs

Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from photos. This is what makes a difference:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Access to the area
  • The type of damage
  • How much damage there is

There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Send pictures for a quote

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Any details about the material
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.

Work for landlords and builders

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

How it works

Once we are through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes a few hours, depending on the damage, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
  2. The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased, and any rust is treated.
  3. Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
  4. We match both the colour and the shine.
  5. We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, normally the following day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

How to get a price

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos through our quote form or ring us. We will say straight away whether it can be repaired.

Signs you need bath repair in Northease

Acrylic baths that crack nearly always have a support problem. Legs that aren’t adjusted, a missing cradle or a soft floor let the bath move.

Send us a picture if you notice any of these:

  • A hole punched through by something heavy
  • Chips along the edge of the bath
  • Scuffs and scratches in the surface
  • Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted

What your quote should include

  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • What prep work is covered
  • A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
  • Who turns up on the day

How to compare quotes

Different materials, different repairs

Cast iron

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

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
