Bath repair in Piccadilly

When to call us in Piccadilly

Dropped items cause the majority of chips, and building work is a common culprit. Acrylic baths crack for a different reason: the bath isn’t properly supported, so it flexes under weight.

The most common problems we’re called about are:

  • Snagging damage from a refit
  • Cracks in an acrylic bath
  • A hole punched through by something heavy
  • Damage beneath the taps

10 questions to ask before you book

How we handle bath repair in Piccadilly

Most of our bath repairs take a few hours, and you can normally bathe again the following day. You will not need a plumber or tiler, because the bath doesn’t move. We are often asked to fix a kit repair that didn’t last and damage done while the bathroom was being fitted, in pressed steel enamel, whirlpool & spa baths and roll-top & freestanding.

A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Common questions in Piccadilly

Are you accredited?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

How invisible is a bath repair?

The goal is a repair that blends in. How well it disappears depends on the condition of the rest of the bath.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Normally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

Is a bath repair permanent?

Done properly, a repair lasts for years, and ours come with a one-year guarantee. Gentle cleaning helps it last.

Can you match an avocado or pink bath?

Yes, we match coloured baths too. We tint the finish to your bath on site.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before and we’ll plan for it.

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

What happens if you find more damage?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

DIY kit or professional repair?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

Looking after it afterwards

Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:

  • Rinse it down after each bath
  • If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
  • Don’t scrub with anything abrasive
  • Put a towel in the bath if you’re working above it

Leave the repair to cure for as long as we say before using the bath. From then on, mild cleaning is all it needs.

If an acrylic bath has a crack, stop showering in it until it’s repaired. Each time it flexes, the crack grows, and it can start to leak underneath.

How we price bath repair

Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Piccadilly. What changes the price is:

  • Access to the area
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Doing more than one item at once

What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Send pictures for a quote

We price nearly every job from photos. This is what to send:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • A picture taken from further back
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

Most customers in Piccadilly get their price from pictures. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

The process

The work is clean and fairly quiet. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes two to three hours for most chips. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to look after it.

  1. We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
  2. Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
  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. Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.

How to prepare

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

A repair usually costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that’s what we repair.

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.
