How we handle bath repair in Rosehill

We repair just the damaged spot and colour-match it to the bath, which costs far less than replacing a fitted bath and the tiles around it. Most baths can be used again the next day. Our technicians work on pressed steel enamel, roll-top & freestanding and cast iron enamel, and people most often call us about damage done while the bathroom was being fitted and deep scratches in acrylic.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are not left on your own once we’ve gone.

Different materials, different repairs

Composite and resin

Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid, and often freestanding. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, just like other baths.

Pressed steel

Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.

What happens on the day

We begin by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we are doing. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and we start. You can expect it to take a few hours, and we’ll tell you if anything changes.

  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. The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Ensure the area is dry

Advice

Do you need bath repair in Rosehill?

Rust tends to begin where water collects, 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:

  • Cracks in an acrylic bath
  • Chips along the edge of the bath
  • A hole punched through by something heavy
  • Snagging damage from a refit

Questions to ask before you book

  • What aftercare is recommended
  • How your room will be protected
  • If travel is included in the price
  • How soon you can use it again

How to compare quotes

Why repair rather than replace?

Swapping a damaged bath for a new one generally means a plumber, lifting out the old bath, making good the tiles and panel and disposing of the old one. A repair fixes just the damaged area in one visit. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A repair generally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Why us?

  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • No extra charge for your area
  • Generally one visit, start to finish
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year

How to care for the repair

Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:

  • Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
  • Give the bath a quick rinse after use
  • Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
  • Make sure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot

A repaired bath needs no special treatment. Avoid bleach-based and gritty cleaners.

Tape over a fresh chip or crack until it’s repaired, to keep water out. Take it off before we arrive.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

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, then guarantee it for a year.

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

For landlords and businesses

If you manage property in Rosehill, we will quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we will price them together.

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

Honest limits

Some jobs are not right for a repair, for example:

  • Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
  • Wear across the entire surface, which needs re-enamelling
  • A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
