How we price bath repair

Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Quethiock. The price reflects:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • How many areas need work
  • How hard the colour is to match

We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

How to get a fixed price

You can generally get a fixed quote without us visiting. To help us price it:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Something in shot to show the size

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed price the same day in most cases.

About our bath repair in Quethiock

Whether your bath is steel, cast iron or acrylic, we can repair it. Each material is repaired a little differently: metal baths need any rust dealt with first, and acrylic cracks need support from behind. We work on cast iron enamel, pressed steel enamel and whirlpool & spa baths, and people most frequently call us about snagging damage from a refit and cracks in an acrylic bath.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there is a problem and we’ll come back.

What we’re called out for in Quethiock

Damage during fitting is very common. Tradespeople drop tools and tiles into the bath, and the damage is not always spotted until later. We repair snagging damage like this regularly.

Most people get in touch when they notice something like this:

  • A hole punched through by something heavy
  • Chips caused by builders
  • An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
  • Hairline or through cracks in acrylic

Choosing a repair company

Work for landlords and builders

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

DIY kit or professional repair?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

Questions from Quethiock

Are you a vetted contractor?

We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

Is a bath repair durable?

Yes, if it’s prepared properly and the bath is sound. It carries our one-year guarantee.

How invisible is a bath repair?

We aim for a repair you cannot easily find. The rest of the bath’s condition makes a difference.

I tried a repair kit. Can you fix it?

Yes. We take out the old repair and do it properly. Tell us about it when you send pictures.

Is the work guaranteed?

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

What happens after I send photos?

We come back with a fixed quote, plus dates. You are under no obligation.

Is a holed acrylic bath repairable?

Usually. Photos of the hole and the underside help us check.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

Repair or replace in Quethiock?

If the rest of the bath is in good condition, a repair is almost always the better choice. It costs less, takes less time and causes far less upheaval, and the bathroom stays as it is. If the entire surface is worn, re-enamelling may make more sense, and we’ll tell you. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. 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 you get with us

  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • A fixed quote before booking

The process

We work cleanly and quietly. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a few hours. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to look after it.

  1. First, we check the damage against your pictures and agree the plan.
  2. Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
  3. The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
  4. We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
  5. Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

How to get a price

Advice

Different materials, different repairs

Composite and resin

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

Acrylic

Acrylic baths are moulded sheet reinforced underneath. They do not rust, but they can crack, scratch or be holed, and cracks need support from behind to stay fixed.

Aftercare tips

It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:

  • Check that an acrylic bath does not move when you stand in it
  • A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
  • Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
  • Don’t leave a fresh chip for long

Don’t leave razors, cans or hair grips in the bath, because they can mark the enamel. A dripping tap should be fixed early, too.

Avoid standing in a cracked acrylic bath until it’s fixed. Each time it flexes, the crack grows, and it can start to leak underneath.
