Trusted bath repair in Petty France

What we cannot put right

We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:

  • A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
  • A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
  • Leaking fittings, which need a plumber

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

What we work on

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

Bath repair at your home in Petty France

We repair enamelled steel, cast iron and acrylic baths. Each material is repaired a little differently: rust is treated on metal baths, while cracks in acrylic are reinforced from underneath. We work on roll-top & freestanding, pressed steel enamel and whirlpool & spa baths, and the jobs we see most are scuffs and scratches in the surface and an old repair that has yellowed or come loose.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re not left on your own once we have gone.

For landlords and businesses

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Petty France use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it usually costs far less than a refit.

What bath repair costs

Repairs from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How much damage there is

The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book, with nothing added on the day.

How to get a fixed quote

Most quotes are done from photos alone. To help us price it:

  • One picture of the entire bath
  • The material, if you know it
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.

Repair or replace: which is better?

For damage in one or two places, a repair is the obvious choice. It’s a fraction of the cost of a new bath and fitting, it’s done in one visit, and nothing else in the room changes. Prices start from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing generally costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Why Petty France clients choose us

  • One visit for most repairs
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish

FAQs for Petty France

Do the materials smell?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

We review the photos and send a fixed quote and the next dates we have.

Can you quote from pictures?

Nearly always. If pictures do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.

Can you fix rust around the plughole?

Yes, it’s one of the most common repairs we do. We take it back to sound metal, seal it, fill it and match the colour.

Something went through my bath. Can it be fixed?

Often, if there is access underneath. The hole is backed, filled and refinished to match.

Can you match an avocado or pink bath?

Yes, we match coloured baths too. The colour is tinted by hand on the day.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Most of the time. Let us know what was used before and we’ll plan for it.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.

How the visit works

Your technician turns up when we said we would, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. The work itself takes a morning or an afternoon, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. We start by cleaning the damage and taking out loose enamel and rust.
  2. We fill the damage and sand it flush with the surrounding surface.
  3. We tint the finish on the day to suit your bath’s shade of white or colour.
  4. We apply the finish coats and polish the repair so it blends in.
  5. The repair is left to cure, and most baths can be used the day after.

How to prepare

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

Getting a price

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures using our quote form or ring us. We will say right away if a repair is the right fix.

Related advice

DIY kit or professional repair?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

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.

Pressed steel

Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.

Signs you need bath repair in Petty France

Rust tends to begin where water collects, around the waste, under the taps or in an old chip. Once water reaches the steel or iron, rust spreads under the enamel.

You may need us if you’ve spotted:

  • An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
  • Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
  • Cracks in an acrylic bath
  • Chips on the rim or sides

What your quote should include

  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
  • When it can be used again
  • Who turns up on the day
