What a repair can’t fix

Aftercare tips
Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:
- Have new chips seen to early
- Don’t scrub with anything abrasive
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
Treat the repaired area like the rest of the bath: a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs. Keep scouring pads and gritty cleaners away from it.
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.

Plumbley: your questions answered
How long before I can use the bath?
Generally the next day. We confirm the time before we leave.
I tried a repair kit. Can you fix it?
Regularly. We strip it out, deal with any rust and repair it again.
What does bath repair cost?
Repairs from £95. Every job gets a fixed price based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your S20 postcode.
What areas do you cover?
Everywhere in the UK, Plumbley included. Travel is included in the price.
What happens next?
We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Nearly always. If photos do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.
Is it messy?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
Will I be able to see the repair?
On a glossy bath, you will struggle to find it. On worn enamel, it can look shinier than the rest.
What happens on the day
Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. Most visits take a few hours, and we leave the room as we found it.
- We protect the bath and the floor around it.
- The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased.
- Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
- We match both the colour and the shine.
- We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, normally the day after.
Getting ready for the visit
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Open a window if you can

Advice
Common problems we fix in Plumbley
Rust tends to begin where water collects, by the plughole, beneath dripping taps or in an unrepaired chip. Once water reaches the steel or iron, rust spreads under the enamel.
If you can see any of these, send us a photo:
- Rust spots around the plughole
- A failed DIY repair that is discoloured or lifting
- Impact holes in acrylic
- Chips under the taps
Questions to ask before booking
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- How long it needs to cure
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- How to look after the finish
Should you replace it?
A new bath costs more than the bath itself: taking out the old one, plumbing, tiling, a panel and redecorating. A repair is one job, done in one visit. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Why us?
- We come to you, anywhere in the UK
- Honest advice, even when it means no job

Repairs by material
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that’s the part we put right.
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.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
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.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
