Should you replace it?

A new bath costs more than the bath itself: removal and disposal, plumbing, a new panel, tiling and decorating. A repair is one job, done in one visit. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A repair typically costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

What you get with us

  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • Generally one visit, start to finish

Take a look at our prices page or resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.

When a repair isn’t the answer

We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair will not do:

  • Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we cannot get to from below
  • A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
  • Metal that has corroded all the way through

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

Materials we repair

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

What happens on the day

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, and get on with the job, which generally takes two to three hours for most chips. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.

  1. First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
  2. The chip or crack is filled, then sanded level with the bath.
  3. The colour is mixed on the spot to match your bath.
  4. We build up the finish and polish it into the surrounding enamel.
  5. We leave it to cure; you can generally use the bath the following day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Open a window if you can

What your bath is made of matters

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.

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.

Do you need bath repair in Park End?

Many chips happen while the bathroom is being fitted. Tradespeople drop tools and tiles into the bath, often before anyone notices. Snagging repairs like these are a regular job for us.

Send us a picture if you notice any of these:

  • A failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting
  • Cracks in an acrylic bath
  • Rust by the waste and overflow
  • Chips under the taps

What affects the price in Park End

Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:

  • How much damage there is
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • The material

Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Quotes from your photos

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • What it’s made of, if you know

For a price in Park End, the easiest route is pictures: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

Aftercare tips

How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Have new chips seen to early
  • Make sure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
  • Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
  • Keep metal cans and razors off the surface

Use gentle, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy items on the repaired area. Get any new chip seen to quickly, before rust sets in.

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.

Park End: your questions answered

What happens next?

We come back with a fixed quote. There is no obligation to book.

Do I have to be there?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.

Can tenants book a repair?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

How soon can you come?

Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.

Is it messy?

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

Will the repair show?

On a bath in good condition, a colour-matched repair is very hard to spot. On worn enamel, it can look shinier than the rest.

When can I have a bath again?

Most baths can be used the following day. We confirm the time before we leave.

Can you repair a crack in an acrylic bath?

Frequently, yes, as long as we can get to the back of the crack to support it. Check under the bath panel, or send us a photo.

DIY kit or professional repair?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
