Bath repair in Sibton, done in place

A damaged bath doesn’t have to mean a new bathroom. We fill the damage, shape it to the curve of the bath and refinish it, mixing the colour on the day. We work on pressed steel enamel, acrylic and whirlpool & spa baths, and people most frequently call us about a failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting and chips caused by builders.

We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

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 is what we repair.

Acrylic

An acrylic bath is a moulded sheet strengthened from below. They do not rust, but they can crack, scratch or be holed, and a crack only stays repaired if it’s supported underneath.

Repairing versus replacing in Sibton

When the bath is otherwise sound, repairing beats replacing. It costs less, takes less time and causes far less upheaval, and the bathroom stays as it is. Where the entire surface is tired, we may suggest re-enamelling instead. Our bath repair starts from £95. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.

See our prices page and resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.

Looking after it afterwards

Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:

Rinse it down after each bath
A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
Do not scrub with anything abrasive
If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted

Care for the repair the same way as the bath: a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs. Keep scouring pads and gritty cleaners away from it.

If water is getting through a crack, stop using the bath until it’s repaired. Water under the bath can damage the floor and the ceiling below.

Your questions about bath repair in Sibton

Will there be a smell?

There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.

How long does the repair take to cure?

Most baths can be used the day after. We will tell you the exact curing time when we finish.

Do you cover Sibton?

Yes, we do. We send a technician to Sibton for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Do you cover the whole of Suffolk?

All of Suffolk, and the rest of the UK. There’s no extra charge for travel.

What happens after I send photos?

You get a fixed quote and available dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.

Will the price change on the day?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

When can you do it?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

What bath repair costs

Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. This is what makes a difference:

Any earlier repairs that need removing first
Doing more than one item at once
Where the damage is and how we get to it
The type of damage

Set against the cost of replacement, repairing normally costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Getting a price from photos

Two or three clear pictures are usually enough. Try to include:

Natural light rather than flash
Any details about the material
One picture of the entire bath
Details of any past repairs

We price from pictures so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.

Can I fix it myself?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

How it works

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and clear up. Plan for a few hours, depending on the damage. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.

First, we check the damage against your photos and agree the plan.
Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.

How to prepare

Let us know about parking or access

Ask for a price

You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
