Bath repair in Paslow Wood Common without replacing anything

We repair just the damaged spot and colour-match it to the bath, which is far cheaper than replacing a fitted bath and the tiles around it. Most baths can be used again the next day. Our repair technicians work on cast iron enamel, roll-top & freestanding and whirlpool & spa baths, and the jobs we see most are damage beneath the taps and scratches you can feel with a fingernail.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

What we can’t put right

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

  • Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we can’t get to from below
  • Wear across the whole surface, which needs re-enamelling
  • Leaking fittings, which need a plumber

Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

Materials we repair

  • Acrylic
  • Whirlpool & spa baths
  • Roll-top & freestanding

What we do, step by step

You do not need to empty the room. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and start once you are happy with the plan. Most jobs take a few hours, depending on the damage, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
  2. Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
  3. The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of 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.

Getting ready for the visit

Keeping it looking good

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

  • If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
  • Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
  • Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
  • Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning

There is nothing special to do after a repair, beyond gentle cleaning. Avoid bleach-based and gritty cleaners and give it a rinse after each bath.

Avoid standing in a cracked acrylic bath until it’s fixed. Every use opens the crack a little more, and it can start to leak underneath.

10 questions to ask before you book

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

Pressed steel

Pressed steel is thinner and lighter, with an enamel finish like cast iron. Exposed steel rusts fast, especially around the waste, so repair chips early.

Repairing versus replacing in Paslow Wood Common

Cast iron baths especially are worth keeping: they’re very heavy to remove, especially upstairs, and a like-for-like replacement can be expensive. Repairing it leaves it where it is. Our bath repair starts from £95. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Why us?

  • Everything repaired in place
  • One price list for the whole UK
  • One visit for most repairs

DIY kit or professional repair?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.

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 won’t last.
