Repair or replace: which is better?

People frequently assume a cracked or chipped bath has to come out. In most cases it doesn’t: a repair keeps the bath in service for years, without the cost and upheaval of replacing it. Our bath repair starts from £95. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Why Poulton-le-Sands clients choose us

  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • Repair technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface

Take a look at our full price list or guide to resurfacing and replacement costs.

Repairs by material

Pressed steel

Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

When to call us in Poulton-le-Sands

A bath gets knocked about more than you’d think: everyday items get dropped into it all the time, and fittings press hard against the enamel. Sooner or later, most baths pick up a chip.

You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:

  • Scuffs and scratches in the surface
  • Chips on the rim or sides
  • Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
  • A hole punched through by something heavy

Our hiring checklist

What bath repair costs

Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. The main factors are:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • The material and finish
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • How many areas need work

The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.

Quotes from your photos

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • A wider photo showing the whole bath
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • The material, if you know it

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire bath, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

Looking after it afterwards

To keep it looking its best for years:

  • Ensure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
  • Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
  • A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
  • Cover the bath during DIY or decorating

Give the repair the full curing time we recommend before using the bath. From then on, mild cleaning is all it needs.

A small chip is a quick job. Leave them and they collect dirt, stain and, on metal baths, rust, so it’s worth getting them done early.

DIY kit or professional repair?

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

For landlords and businesses

Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

Poulton-le-Sands: your questions answered

Can rust on a bath be repaired?

Yes. We take out the rust and any loose enamel, fill the area, then colour-match the finish.

Can you price it without visiting?

Usually, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.

Do you come to Poulton-le-Sands?

Yes. We cover the entire UK and travel to Poulton-le-Sands. Send photos and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Can you repair a failed DIY repair?

Yes. We take out the old repair and do it properly. Mention it when you send photos.

Can you repair a crack in an acrylic bath?

Frequently, yes, as long as we can get to the back of the crack to support it. Take off the bath panel and check, or send us a picture.

Do the materials smell?

A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

The price is fixed for what the pictures show. If there’s more, we’ll tell you before starting.

What does bath repair cost?

Repairs from £95. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

What happens on the day

Once we’re through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes a few hours, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. First, we check the damage against your photos and agree the plan.
  2. Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
  3. We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
  4. The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
  5. The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.

Before we arrive

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
