How it works

On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job normally takes two to three hours for most chips. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. We protect the bath and the floor around it.
  2. The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased.
  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, generally the next day.

Before we arrive

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Bath repair at your home in Northwick

A damaged bath does not have to mean a new bathroom. We fill the damage, shape it to the curve of the bath and refinish it, with the colour mixed on site so the repair is hard to spot. Whether it’s deep scratches in acrylic and a hole punched through by something heavy, we can help, whatever the material.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months in Northwick and everywhere else. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Work for landlords and builders

Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

If you manage property in Northwick, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send photos for each one and we’ll come back with a combined price.

Keeping it looking good

Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:

  • Have new chips seen to early
  • Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
  • Put a towel in the bath if you are working above it
  • Get a dripping tap fixed promptly

For the first few days, keep heavy bottles off the repaired spot. After that, normal gentle cleaning is fine.

Until we visit, a strip of waterproof tape over the damage helps, to keep water out. Take it off before we arrive.

When a repair isn’t the answer

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

  • Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
  • Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
  • Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before booking.

Materials we work on in Northwick

DIY kit or professional repair?

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 the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.

Questions from Northwick

Do you cover Northwick?

We do. Repair technicians travel to Northwick from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.

Do I have to be there?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.

Do you charge for travel?

Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.

What does bath repair cost?

Repairs from £95. We give a fixed price based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up and a photo of the whole item with your WR3 postcode.

Can a cracked acrylic bath be fixed?

Most of the time. The back of the crack is strengthened before the front is filled and refinished, so we need access under the bath.

Will you leave a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Of course, and it normally saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you’ll get one combined price.

When to call us in Northwick

Dropped items cause the majority of chips, and building work is a common culprit. Acrylic baths crack for a different reason: the bath is not properly supported, so it flexes under weight.

Contact us if you’ve noticed:

  • Snagging damage from a refit
  • Impact holes in acrylic
  • Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
  • An old repair that has yellowed or come loose

Before you book anyone

  • How the colour is matched
  • Whether the price covers travel
  • What preparation is included
  • How the room is protected while they work

Choosing a repair company

Should you replace it?

Swapping a damaged bath for a new one normally means a plumber, removing the old bath, re-tiling and a new panel and disposing of the old one. A repair fixes just the damaged area in one visit. Prices start from £95. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Repairs by material

Acrylic

Acrylic baths are moulded sheet reinforced underneath. They do not rust, but they can crack, scratch or be holed, and a crack only stays repaired if it’s supported underneath.

Composite and resin

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