Bath repair near Roe Green

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

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

Bath repair at your home in Roe Green

Small damage on a bath is worth repairing early. Exposed metal on enamelled baths soon rusts, while cracks in acrylic grow each time the bath moves. A repair stops both. We are often asked to fix hairline or through cracks in acrylic and an old repair that has yellowed or come loose, on cast iron enamel, whirlpool & spa baths and roll-top & freestanding.

You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Roe Green as everywhere else we work.

How it works

On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take a few hours. We clean up when we are done and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. We start by cleaning the damage and taking out loose enamel and rust.
  2. We fill the damage and sand it flush with the surrounding surface.
  3. The colour is mixed on the spot to match your bath.
  4. We apply the finish coats and polish the repair so it blends in.
  5. We leave it to cure; you can normally use the bath the following day.

Before we arrive

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

Repairing versus replacing in Roe Green

A repair makes sense whenever the damage is localised. It’s a fraction of the cost of a new bath and fitting, it takes one visit, and nothing else in the room changes. Our bath repair starts from £95. A repair usually costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Why us?

  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • One price list for the entire UK

Read our pricing and bath cost comparison.

Keeping it looking good

It’s all simple stuff:

  • Rinse it down after each bath
  • Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
  • Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
  • Do not 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.

Until we visit, a strip of waterproof tape over the damage helps, to keep water out. Take it off before we arrive.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Roe Green

Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Roe Green as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it typically costs far less than a refit.

What your bath is made of matters

Pressed steel

Pressed steel is thinner and lighter, with an enamel finish like cast iron. Exposed steel rusts fast, particularly by the plughole, so repair chips early.

Composite and resin

Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour-matched, in much the same way.

Questions from Roe Green

Is a cracked acrylic bath repairable?

Most of the time. We reinforce the crack from behind, then fill and refinish the front, so access behind the panel is important.

What does bath repair cost?

Repairs from £95. We give a fixed quote from your photos. Send a close-up and a photo of the entire item with your SG9 postcode.

Is a repair better than a new one?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.

Is there a guarantee?

All our work carries a one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.

What information do you need?

Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.

What we can’t put right

Not everything can be repaired, and we would rather say so up front. We cannot fix:

  • Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
  • Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
  • Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath

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

What we work on

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

What we’re called out for in Roe Green

Rust generally starts where water sits, around the waste, under the taps or in an old chip. Once water reaches the steel or iron, rust spreads under the enamel.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

  • Deep scratches in acrylic
  • A chipped rim or side
  • Chips under the taps
  • A cracked acrylic bath

Before you book anyone

  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • What happens if they find more damage
  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
  • Whether they match the colour on site
