About our bath repair in Orgreave

A repair fixes just the damaged area and blends it into the rest of the bath, which costs far less than replacing a fitted bath and the tiles around it. You can usually use the bath the following day. If you’re dealing with chips along the edge of the bath and damage done while the bathroom was being fitted, we can help, on acrylic, pressed steel enamel and whirlpool & spa baths alike.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee.

DIY kit or professional repair?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.

Aftercare tips

Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:

  • Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
  • Store metal items away from the bath
  • Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
  • Don’t leave a fresh chip for long

Give the repair the full curing time we recommend before using the bath. After that, gentle cleaning keeps it looking good.

Tape over a fresh chip or crack until it’s repaired, so water cannot get in. Remove it before the repair.

FAQs for Orgreave

Is there a guarantee?

Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before.

When can I have a bath again?

Typically the day after. We confirm the time before we leave.

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.

Something went through my bath. Can it be fixed?

Usually, yes, if we can reach behind it. We back the hole, fill it and refinish the surface.

Will I be able to see the repair?

On a glossy bath, you’ll struggle to find it. On older, dull enamel the repair can look glossier than the area around it.

Can pets and children be at home?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day.

Can you repair a chip on a coloured bath?

Yes, we match coloured baths too. We tint the finish to your bath on site.

Work for landlords and builders

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we’ll handle the rest.

What bath repair costs

Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed price from photos. These are the things that affect it:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • How much damage there is
  • The material and finish

A repair generally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Send pictures for a quote

Phone pictures are fine. Make sure they show:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • The material, if you know it
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.

Honest limits

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

  • Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we cannot get to from below
  • Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
  • A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.

Surfaces we repair

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

Do you need bath repair in Orgreave?

Glass and heavy bottles cause more chips than anything else. Taps and wastes cause problems too: water sits around them, and any chip there soon rusts.

Clients typically contact us about:

  • Rusty patches near the plughole
  • Impact holes in acrylic
  • Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
  • A failed DIY repair that is discoloured or lifting

Before you book anyone

  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • How the room is protected while they work
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • When it can be used again

10 questions to ask before you book

What happens on the day

We work cleanly and quietly, so you can stay at home while we’re there. We protect the area first, then the work takes two to three hours for most chips. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. We protect the bath and the floor around it.
  2. We clean, key and degrease the damage.
  3. Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
  4. We match both the colour and the shine.
  5. We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the next day.

Before we arrive

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Open a window if you can
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

Related advice

What your bath is made of matters

Composite and resin

Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour-matched, in much the same way.

Pressed steel

Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
