Bath repair for Perrywood homes

DIY kit or professional repair?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

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

About our bath repair in Perrywood

Most of our bath repairs take a few hours, and you can generally bathe again the following day. You won’t need a plumber or tiler, because nothing is disconnected. Our repair technicians work on pressed steel enamel, acrylic and whirlpool & spa baths, and the jobs we see most are damage beneath the taps and a failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting.

Every job is backed for twelve months in Perrywood and everywhere else. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Before and after: a chipped, rust-stained bath around the plughole

Signs you need bath repair in Perrywood

Glass and heavy bottles cause more chips than anything else, with dropped shower heads close behind. Taps and wastes cause problems too: water collects there, so chips nearby rust quickly.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • Rusty patches near the plughole
  • Cracks in an acrylic bath
  • Deep scratches in acrylic
  • Holes from dropped items

Questions to ask before you book

  • How to care for the finish
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • How soon you can use it again
  • What preparation is included

Choosing a repair company

Looking after it afterwards

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
  • Make sure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
  • A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
  • Store metal items away from the bath

Do not leave razors, cans or hair grips in the bath, because they can mark the enamel. A dripping tap should be fixed early, too.

Small chips are quick to repair. Left alone, they stain and can rust, so early repair saves time and money.

How we price bath repair

Repairs from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Access to the area
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

A repair generally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.

How to get a fixed quote

Photographing the damage takes a minute. Please include:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Any details about the material
  • Where you are, by postcode

To get a price, send two or three photos using our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

Honest limits

A repair is not right for every job, including:

  • Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we cannot get to from below
  • Metal that has corroded all the way through
  • A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed

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

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

What happens on the day

We work cleanly and quietly, so you can stay at home while we are 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, and any rust is treated.
  3. We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
  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

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.

Different materials, different repairs

Composite and resin

Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid, and frequently freestanding. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour-matched, just like other baths.

Cast iron

Cast iron is heavy and rigid, with a fused enamel surface. A chip down to the iron can rust, but the bath itself lasts for generations, so it’s always worth repairing.

A repair makes sense whenever the damage is localised. It’s a fraction of the cost of a new bath and fitting, it takes one visit, and nothing else in the room changes. Our bath repair starts from £95. Compared with replacing, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
