Trusted bath repair in Rowde

How the visit works

We begin by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we’re doing. After that, protection goes down around the work area and the work begins. It normally takes a few hours, depending on the damage, and we will tell you if anything changes.

  1. First, we check the damage against your photos and agree the plan.
  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.

Before we arrive

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Let us know about parking or access

How to get a price

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, include your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.

How to look after the repair

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:

  • Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
  • Put a towel in the bath if you are working above it
  • Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
  • Rinse it down after each bath

Treat the repaired area like the rest of the bath: a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs. Avoid scourers and gritty cream cleaners.

A small chip is a quick job. Left alone, they stain and can rust, so early repair saves time and money.

Why repair rather than replace?

Cast iron baths especially are worth keeping: they’re very heavy to remove, especially upstairs, and replacing like for like is not cheap. A repair keeps it in place. Prices start from £95. Compared with replacing, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Why book with us

  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • Generally one visit, start to finish
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish

Different materials, different repairs

Acrylic

Acrylic baths are moulded sheet reinforced underneath. There’s no rust, but cracks, holes and scratches happen, and a crack only stays repaired if it’s supported underneath.

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.

FAQs for Rowde

Is a bath repair permanent?

It should, as long as the bath is firm and the area was prepared well. It carries our one-year guarantee.

Do you charge for travel?

No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.

How long before I can use the bath?

Normally by the following day, though it depends on what we have done.

What about rust by the waste?

Yes, very often. We take it back to sound metal, seal it, fill it and match the colour.

Is there any odour?

There may be a mild smell during the work.

Is a holed acrylic bath repairable?

Often, if there is access underneath. We back the hole, fill it and refinish the surface.

Can you repair a crack in an acrylic bath?

Usually, yes, as long as we can get to the back of the crack to support it. Take off the bath panel and check, or send us a picture.

Do you work in Rowde?

Yes, we do. We send a technician to Rowde for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Can I fix it myself?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.

What we cannot put right

Not everything can be repaired, and we’d rather say so up front. We can’t fix:

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

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.

Materials we work on in Rowde

  • Whirlpool & spa baths
  • Cast iron enamel
  • Acrylic
  • Pressed steel enamel

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. This is what makes a difference:

  • The material
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Access to the area
  • Doing more than one item at once

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.

How to get a fixed quote

Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Any details about the material
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

Do you need bath repair in Rowde?

Rust usually starts where water sits, by the plughole, beneath dripping taps or in an unrepaired chip. Once water reaches the steel or iron, rust spreads under the enamel.

The most common problems we are called about are:

  • A chip where the taps sit
  • Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
  • A failed DIY repair that is discoloured or lifting
  • Impact holes in acrylic

Before you book anyone

  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • What happens if they find more damage
  • Who will actually do the work
