About our bath repair in Peatling Parva

Small damage on a bath is worth repairing early. On steel and cast iron, exposed metal starts to rust, while cracks in acrylic grow each time the bath moves. Repairing it stops the damage getting worse. Whether it’s damage beneath the taps and hairline or through cracks in acrylic, we can help, whatever the material.

Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

Signs you need bath repair in Peatling Parva

Most bath damage comes from something dropped: bottles, shower heads, tiles and tools. On steel and cast iron baths, any chip down to the metal lets water in, and rust follows.

Send us a picture if you notice any of these:

  • Deep scratches in acrylic
  • Rust by the waste and overflow
  • Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
  • An old repair that has yellowed or come loose

Choosing a repair company

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.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

Looking after it afterwards

Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:

  • Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
  • Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
  • Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
  • Rinse it down after each bath

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

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 it pays to deal with it early.

How we price bath repair

Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:

  • How much damage there is
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • What the surface is made of
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

Compared with replacing, repairing typically costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Send pictures for a quote

Phone pictures are fine. Make sure they show:

  • The material, if you know it
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

We price from photos so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.

Can tenants book a repair?

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

No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Is a bath repair durable?

Done properly, a repair lasts for years, and it’s guaranteed for a year. Gentle cleaning helps it last.

When can you do it?

That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.

How it works

The work is clean and fairly quiet. We protect the area first, then the work takes a few hours. 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. Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
  5. We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, generally the following day.

How to prepare

  • Open a window if you can
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

How to get a price

Upload a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your LE17 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

Different materials, different repairs

Cast iron

Cast iron is heavy and rigid, finished with fired enamel. A chip down to the iron can rust, but the body of the bath lasts a very long time, which makes it well worth repairing.

Acrylic

Acrylic baths are moulded sheet reinforced underneath. There’s no rust, but cracks, holes and scratches happen, and cracks need support from behind to stay fixed.
