What your bath is made of matters

Composite and resin

Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid, and frequently freestanding. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, in much the same way.

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

About our bath repair in Salt

Whatever has happened to the bath, we aim for the same result: a repair that is smooth, sound and hard to spot. Proper preparation, careful filling and shaping, then colour and gloss matching so it’s level with the surrounding surface. If you’re dealing with an old repair that has yellowed or come loose and hairline or through cracks in acrylic, we can help, whatever the material.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work.

How to look after the repair

To keep it looking its best for years:

  • Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
  • Give the bath a quick rinse after use
  • Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
  • Don’t scrub with anything abrasive

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

A small chip is a quick job. Left alone, they stain and can rust, so it’s worth getting them done early.

Salt: your questions answered

When can you do it?

That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.

Will there be a smell?

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

Can rust on a bath be repaired?

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

Do you hold any accreditations?

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

Can you redo an old repair?

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

Will I be able to see the repair?

The goal is a repair that blends in. How well it disappears depends on the condition of the rest of the bath.

Is it messy?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.

Which areas do you work in?

Across the UK, and that includes Salt. Prices do not change with location.

What we do, step by step

Here’s how a visit usually runs: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, do the job and clear up. Plan for a few hours, depending on the damage from start to finish. Before we go, we will explain how long to leave it and how to care for it.

  1. Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
  2. The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased.
  3. We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
  4. Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
  5. We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the next day.

Before we arrive

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

Getting a price

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. There is no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.

Advice

How we price bath repair

Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • How many areas need work
  • The type of damage
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.

How to get a fixed quote

Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To make it quick:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed quote without visiting.

Can I fix it myself?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

What we cannot put right

We’d rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:

  • Cracks in acrylic we can’t reach from underneath
  • Metal that has corroded all the way through
  • Leaking fittings, which need a plumber

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

Common problems we fix in Salt

Many chips happen while the bathroom is being fitted. Tools, tiles and fittings get dropped into the bath, and the damage isn’t always spotted until later. We repair snagging damage like this regularly.

These are the problems we’re asked about most:

  • A chipped rim or side
  • Rusty patches near the plughole
  • A hole punched through by something heavy
  • An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
