Bath repair for Ormiston homes

Aftercare tips

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:

  • Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
  • Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
  • Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
  • Store metal items away from the bath

Treat the repaired area like the rest of the bath: a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs. Keep scouring pads and gritty cleaners away from it.

Tape over a fresh chip or crack until it’s repaired, to keep water out. Remove it before the repair.

About our bath repair in Ormiston

We have repaired just about every kind of bath damage: dropped-bottle chips, plughole rust, acrylic cracks and impact holes. Each is repaired in place with a one-year guarantee. We are frequently asked to fix snagging damage from a refit and chips under the taps, in cast iron enamel, whirlpool & spa baths and pressed steel enamel.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re covered after the visit.

For landlords and businesses

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, photos and access details and we’ll handle the rest.

For anyone letting property in or around Ormiston, we will quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we will price them together.

When we would advise against a repair

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:

  • Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
  • A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
  • Metal that has corroded all the way through

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

Surfaces we repair

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

DIY kit or professional repair?

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Common questions in Ormiston

How invisible is a bath repair?

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

What does bath repair cost?

Repairs from £95. We give a fixed price based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up and a picture of the entire item and your postcode.

What happens next?

We come back with a fixed price, typically with dates to choose from. There’s no obligation to book.

Does someone need to be in?

We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.

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

Of course, and it usually saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just make sure the landlord agrees.

Will you leave a mess?

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

How it works

We work cleanly and quietly, so you can carry on at home. We protect the area first, then the work takes a few hours, depending on the damage. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. First, we check the damage against your photos and agree the plan.
  2. Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
  3. We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
  4. The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
  5. The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.

How to prepare

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Open a window if you can
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Getting a price

For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Advice

What your bath is made of matters

Composite and resin

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

Cast iron

Cast iron is heavy and rigid, 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.

Repair or replace: which is better?

People often assume a cracked or chipped bath has to come out. Typically it doesn’t: a proper repair gives it years more use, without the cost and upheaval of replacing it. Our bath repair starts from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking, with no extras added later.

Common problems we fix in Ormiston

Rust tends to begin where water collects, around the waste, under the taps or in an old chip. Water on bare metal causes rust that creeps under the surrounding enamel.

Get in touch if you’ve noticed:

  • Damage beneath the taps
  • Chips along the edge of the bath
  • Rust by the waste and overflow
  • Cracks in an acrylic bath

Questions to ask before you book

  • Whether the price covers travel
  • How the colour is matched
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
