About our bath repair in Rowen

It pays to repair bath damage while it’s small. Exposed metal on enamelled baths soon rusts, while cracks in acrylic grow each time the bath moves. Repairing it stops the damage getting worse. Whether it’s a failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting and snagging damage from a refit, we can usually put it right, whatever the material.

Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

How to care for the repair

Aftercare is simple:

  • Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
  • Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
  • Put a towel in the bath if you’re working above it
  • Check that an acrylic bath doesn’t move when you stand in it

Leave the repair to cure for as long as we say before running a bath. From then on, mild cleaning is all it needs.

Rust spreads under enamel faster than most people expect. Left for months, a small chip can grow into a large rust patch, so early repair keeps the cost down.

When we’d advise against a repair

A repair isn’t right for every job, including:

  • A steel bath rusted through
  • Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
  • A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)

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

Materials we work on in Rowen

Rowen: your questions answered

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.

Can tenants book a repair?

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.

How long does the repair take to cure?

Generally the next day. We confirm the time before we leave.

Is a bath repair durable?

A properly prepared repair should last a long time, and it’s guaranteed for a year. Gentle cleaning helps it last.

What happens if you find more damage?

If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.

Will you leave a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.

Do I have to be there?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.

How it works

We begin by going over the job with you. Then the area is sheeted and masked and we start. You can expect it to take a few hours, and we will keep you posted as we go.

  1. Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
  2. We clean, key and degrease the damage.
  3. Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
  4. Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
  5. We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the day after.

How to prepare

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

Repair or replace in Rowen?

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 you keep the bath you chose. If the whole surface is worn, re-enamelling may make more sense, and we will tell you. Prices start from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Why Rowen clients choose us

  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • One price list for the entire UK

See our prices page or resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.

Common problems we fix in Rowen

Damage during fitting is very common. Tools, tiles and fittings get dropped into the bath, often before anyone notices. Snagging repairs like these are a regular job for us.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • A chipped rim or side
  • Holes from dropped items
  • Damage beneath the taps
  • Scratches you can feel with a fingernail

What your quote should include

  • How long it needs to cure
  • What prep work is covered
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges

How to compare quotes

What bath repair costs

Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:

  • The material and finish
  • The type of damage
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • How much damage there is

Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Quotes from your photos

We price nearly every job from photos. This is what we need:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.

Work for landlords and builders

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
