The process

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a few hours, depending on the damage. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.

  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.

How to prepare

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Getting a price

Most clients in Sallys get their price from pictures. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Bath repair in Sallys, done in place

We repair just the damaged spot and colour-match it to the bath, which is far cheaper than replacing a fitted bath and the tiles around it. Most baths can be used again the day after. If you’re dealing with an old repair that has yellowed or come loose and rust by the waste and overflow, we can normally put it right, on roll-top & freestanding, whirlpool & spa baths and pressed steel enamel alike.

You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we will come back.

Keeping it looking good

Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:

  • Do not leave a fresh chip for long
  • Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
  • Do not scrub with anything abrasive
  • A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early

In the first few days, avoid putting weight or bottles on the repair. After that, normal gentle cleaning is fine, avoiding abrasives.

A chip on a metal bath shouldn’t be left. Water gets to the metal and rust starts, turning a quick repair into a bigger one.

FAQs for Sallys

What information do you need?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

Can you fix rust around the plughole?

Yes, very frequently. The rust is cut back to clean metal and sealed before we fill and finish it.

Do you hold any accreditations?

We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

Is there a guarantee?

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.

Can you repair a hole in a bath?

In most cases. Photos of the hole and the underside help us check.

Is a repair better than a new one?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

What areas do you cover?

We cover the whole UK, including Sallys and the rest of Herefordshire. Just include your postcode and we will offer you dates.

Can you repair a chip on a coloured bath?

Yes, coloured baths are no problem. The colour is tinted by hand on the day.

When a repair is not the answer

We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:

  • Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
  • Metal that has corroded all the way through
  • A whole bath that is dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

Surfaces we repair

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

Different materials, different repairs

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

Pressed steel

Pressed steel is thinner and lighter, with an enamel finish like cast iron. Chips rust quickly on steel, especially around the waste, so repair chips early.

DIY kit or professional repair?

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 frequently lifts.

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

What bath repair costs

Prices start from £95. You’ll know the full cost before you book. We look at:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The material
  • What kind of damage it is
  • The colour and finish to match

Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Sallys. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Send pictures for a quote

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Try to send:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Details of any past repairs
  • One picture of the whole bath

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire bath, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

For landlords and businesses

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we will handle the rest.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Sallys use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
