Looking after it afterwards

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

  • Don’t leave razors or cans standing in the bath
  • Do not leave a fresh chip for long
  • Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
  • Cover the bath during DIY or decorating

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.

Rust spreads under enamel faster than most people expect. Left for months, a small chip can grow into a large rust patch, so early repair keeps the cost down.

Bath repair in Pumpherston without replacing anything

You don’t need a new bath because of a chip. We fill the damage, shape it to the curve of the bath and refinish it, mixing the colour on the day so the repair is hard to spot. If you’re dealing with damage done while the bathroom was being fitted and scuffs and scratches in the surface, we can usually put it right, whatever the material.

Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

What your bath is made of matters

Acrylic

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

Composite and resin

Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour matched, in much the same way.

Common problems we fix in Pumpherston

Baths take more knocks than people expect: everyday items get dropped into it all the time, and fittings press hard against the enamel. Over time, chips and rust spots are almost inevitable.

Send us a picture if you notice any of these:

  • Chips on the rim or sides
  • Scuffs and scratches in the surface
  • Rusty patches near the plughole
  • An old repair that has yellowed or come loose

Questions to ask before you book

  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • What protection goes down before work starts

Choosing a repair company

Honest limits

To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:

  • Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
  • A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
  • Wear across the entire surface, which needs re-enamelling

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

What we work on

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

Repair or replace: which is better?

Swapping a damaged bath for a new one normally means a plumber, removing the old bath, re-tiling and a new panel and getting rid of the old bath. A repair fixes just the damaged area in one visit. Our bath repair starts from £95. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

What we do, step by step

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and tidy away. Plan for two to three hours for most chips from start to finish. Before we go, we will explain when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.

  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

  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

How to get a price

Should I try a DIY kit first?

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, and the work is guaranteed.

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 then the old filler has to be removed first.
