Bath repair in Sarre

How we handle bath repair in Sarre

Most bath damage, from chips and cracks to rust spots and holes, can be repaired with the bath left exactly where it is. There is no plumbing to disconnect, the tiles aren’t touched, and the repaired area is colour matched so it blends in. Common call-outs are for a failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting and scratches you can feel with a fingernail, across acrylic, roll-top & freestanding and pressed steel enamel.

Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

Repairs by material

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that’s what we repair.

Composite and resin

Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour matched, just like other baths.

Honest limits

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

  • Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
  • A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
  • Acrylic cracks with no access behind them

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

What bath repair costs

Repairs from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Sarre. The price comes down to:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Sarre. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Getting a price from photos

Before you send pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • The material, if you know it

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. There’s no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.

Repair or replace: which is better?

For damage in one or two places, a repair is the obvious choice. It’s a fraction of the cost of a new bath and fitting, it takes one visit, and the bathroom stays exactly as it is. Our bath repair starts from £95. We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Why book with us

  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
  • Colour-matched on site
  • Same prices wherever you are

See our pricing or guide to resurfacing and replacement costs.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

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

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

Common questions in Sarre

Is a bath repair permanent?

Yes, if it’s prepared properly and the bath is sound. It carries our one-year guarantee.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

Is a holed acrylic bath repairable?

Generally, yes, if we can reach behind it. We back the hole, fill it and refinish the surface.

Can you repair a failed DIY repair?

Yes. We take out the old repair and do it properly. Mention it when you send pictures.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.

Will I be able to see the repair?

On a glossy bath, you will struggle to find it. On older, dull enamel the repair can look glossier than the area around it.

Will there be a smell?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It clears as the materials cure.

How quickly can you book me in?

We will give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.

The process

There is not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we will get on with it. Most visits take two to three hours for most chips, tidy-up included.

  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. We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
  5. The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.

Preparing for the visit

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
