Should I try a DIY kit first?

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

Rotherbridge: your questions answered

Is there a call-out fee?

Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Will there be a smell?

There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.

Can you match an avocado or pink bath?

Yes. The colour is mixed on site to suit your bath, including older coloured suites.

What do you need from me?

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

What happens after I send photos?

We look at the photos and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.

Can rust on a bath be repaired?

Yes. We remove the rust and loose enamel, fill the area, then colour-match the finish.

Will the repair show?

On a glossy bath, you’ll struggle to find it. On worn enamel, it can look shinier than the rest.

Can a cracked acrylic bath be fixed?

Generally, yes, if we can reach the underside to reinforce it. Take off the bath panel and check, or send us a picture.

How we price bath repair

Repairs from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Rotherbridge. The price comes down to:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • The material and finish
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Rotherbridge. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Send photos for a quote

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

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Any details about the material
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

To get a price, send a couple of pictures using our quote form or ring us. We’ll say straight away if a repair is the right fix.

Different materials, different repairs

Composite and resin

Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour matched, just like other baths.

Acrylic

An acrylic bath is a moulded sheet strengthened from below. They do not rust, but they can crack, scratch or be holed, and cracks need support from behind to stay fixed.

Landlord and trade work in Rotherbridge

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

For developers and builders, we fix 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 to keep costs down.

Common problems we fix in Rotherbridge

Acrylic baths that crack nearly always have a support problem. Loose legs, no proper cradle or a floor that gives let the bath move until the acrylic gives way.

Customers generally contact us about:

  • Chips caused by builders
  • Chips along the edge of the bath
  • Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
  • An old repair that has yellowed or come loose

Comparing quotes

  • How long it needs to cure
  • How the colour is matched
  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show

Choosing a repair company

Repair or replace: which is better?

A new bath costs more than the bath itself: removal and disposal, plumbing, a new panel, tiling and decorating. With a repair, it’s one visit and one price. Our bath repair starts from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Why book with us

  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • A fixed quote before you book
  • We leave the room as we found it
  • Most jobs done in one visit

What a repair cannot fix

We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair won’t do:

  • A steel bath rusted through
  • A whole bath that is dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
  • Leaking fittings, which need a plumber

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

Materials we repair

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

How it works

There’s not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll take it from there. Most visits take a few hours, depending on the damage, tidy-up included.

  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. We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to 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.

Before we arrive

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Getting a price

We price from pictures so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.
