What we can’t put right

Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits too:

  • Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we cannot get to from below
  • A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
  • Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath

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

Bath repair in Roydon without replacing anything

You don’t need a new bath because of a chip. We fill the damage, shape it to the curve of the bath and refinish it, with the colour mixed on site. Common call-outs are for deep scratches in acrylic and chips along the edge of the bath, in cast iron enamel, roll-top & freestanding and acrylic.

Every job is backed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

When to call us in Roydon

Glass and heavy bottles cause more chips than anything else, closely followed by shower heads. Taps and wastes cause problems too: water sits around them, and any chip there soon rusts.

If you can see any of these, send us a picture:

  • Scuffs and scratches in the surface
  • Chips caused by builders
  • Chips along the edge of the bath
  • Impact holes in acrylic

Choosing a repair company

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 fails, we can still put it right.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. 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.

Roydon: your questions answered

How do I book?

Photos of the damage, a photo of the whole bath and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

Is my repair covered?

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Usually, yes. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.

When can I have a bath again?

Normally by the following day, depending on the repair.

Can you redo an old repair?

Yes. We remove the old filler and start again. Mention it when you send photos.

Will I be able to see the repair?

The goal is a repair that blends in. The rest of the bath’s condition makes a difference, and we will tell you what to expect.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Of course, and it typically saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.

Do the materials smell?

A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.

What bath repair costs

Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We look at:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The material and finish

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.

Send photos for a quote

Photographing the damage takes a minute. Please include:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • The material, if you know it

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole bath, we can price the job without visiting.

Landlord and trade work in Roydon

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

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

Keeping it looking good

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Don’t leave razors or cans standing in the bath
  • Ensure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
  • Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
  • Give the bath a quick rinse after use

Keep metal objects like razors and cans off the surface, as they can leave rust marks. And fix dripping taps promptly.

Rust under enamel spreads surprisingly quickly. A chip the size of a fingernail can become a much larger patch if it’s left for months, so it pays to deal with it early.

How the visit works

When we visit, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take a few hours. We clean up when we’re done and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
  2. We clean, key and degrease the damage, and any rust is treated.
  3. Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
  4. We match both the colour and the shine.
  5. We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, usually the next day.

Before we arrive

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

Repairs by material

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.

Composite and resin

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