Bath repair for Queen's Cross homes

What we cannot put right

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:

  • A steel bath rusted through
  • A whole bath that is dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
  • Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we can’t get to from below

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Materials we repair

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

How we handle bath repair in Queen's Cross

You do not need a new bath because of a chip. We fill the damage, shape it to the curve of the bath and refinish it, with the colour mixed on site. Typical jobs include deep scratches in acrylic and rusty patches near the plughole, across pressed steel enamel, roll-top & freestanding and acrylic.

Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before booking.

When to call us in Queen's Cross

Many chips happen while the bathroom is being fitted. Tools, tiles and fittings get dropped into the bath, and the damage isn’t always spotted until later. We repair snagging damage like this regularly.

Send us a picture if you notice any of these:

  • Chips along the edge of the bath
  • A hole punched through by something heavy
  • Damage beneath the taps
  • Scratches you can feel with a fingernail

Questions to ask before you book

  • 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
  • How the room is protected while they work

Choosing a repair company

Aftercare tips

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

  • Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
  • Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
  • Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
  • Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth

Look after the repair the same way as the bath: warm water, washing-up liquid and a soft cloth. Keep scouring pads and gritty cleaners away from it.

Avoid standing in a cracked acrylic bath until it’s fixed. Each time it flexes, the crack grows, and water can get through to the floor below.

Queen's Cross: your questions answered

Will I be able to see the repair?

On a glossy bath, you’ll struggle to find it. On older, dull enamel the repair can look glossier than the area around it.

Do you charge for travel?

No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.

What areas do you cover?

We work UK-wide, so Queen's Cross is covered. Our prices are the same everywhere.

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.

When can you do it?

We’ll give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.

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 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.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

Repairs by material

Composite and resin

Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour-matched, just like other baths.

Pressed steel

Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.

The process

There is not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will take it from there. Most visits take a morning or an afternoon.

  1. Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
  2. The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased, and any rust is treated.
  3. Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
  4. We match both the colour and the shine.
  5. We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the day after.

Before we arrive

  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

Related advice

How we price bath repair

Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • The material and finish

A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Send photos for a quote

When you take your pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Where you are, by postcode

Send us a picture of the damage and one of the entire item, with your AB10 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

For a hairline mark somewhere you will 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.

Work for landlords and builders

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Queen's Cross as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it usually costs far less than a refit.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit.
