Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. There’s no area surcharge for Simpson. What changes the price is:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • What the surface is made of
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Quotes from your photos

Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Please include:

  • A wider photo showing the whole bath
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Details of any past repairs
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

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 you’ll get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and no obligation.

About our bath repair in Simpson

Whether your bath is steel, cast iron or acrylic, we can repair it. The method changes with the material: metal baths need any rust dealt with first, and acrylic cracks need support from behind. We regularly repair cast iron enamel, roll-top & freestanding and acrylic, and people most often call us about an old repair that has yellowed or come loose and damage beneath the taps.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee.

FAQs for Simpson

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.

Will the price change on the day?

If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.

Can you match an avocado or pink bath?

Yes. The colour is mixed on site to suit your bath, including older coloured suites.

Will the repair show?

On a bath in good condition, a colour-matched repair is very hard to spot. On worn enamel, it can look shinier than the rest.

What areas do you cover?

We cover the whole UK, including Simpson and the rest of Milton Keynes. Send your postcode with your photos and we will confirm dates.

Do you cover Simpson?

Yes. We cover the entire UK and travel to Simpson. Send pictures and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Is there any odour?

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

Can rust on a bath be repaired?

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

How to look after the repair

How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
  • Ensure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
  • Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
  • Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners

Use gentle, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy items on the repaired area. Get any new chip seen to quickly, before rust can start.

Stop using the bath if a crack lets water through. Water under the bath can damage the floor and the ceiling below.

For landlords and businesses

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

Why repair rather than replace?

A new bath costs more than the bath itself: taking out the old one, plumbing, tiling, a panel and redecorating. A repair is one job, done in one visit. Prices start from £95. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.

  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface

Do you need bath repair in Simpson?

Many chips happen while the bathroom is being fitted. Tradespeople drop tools and tiles into the bath, and the damage isn’t always spotted until later. Snagging repairs like these are a regular job for us.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

  • Chips under the taps
  • A kit repair that didn’t last
  • A cracked acrylic bath
  • Deep scratches in acrylic

Questions to ask before you book

  • Aftercare advice
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included

Choosing a repair company

The process

Here’s how a visit usually runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and clear up. Allow two to three hours for most chips from start to finish. Before we go, we’ll explain how long to leave it and how to care for it.

  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. Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.

Preparing for the visit

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Advice

DIY repairs versus a professional job

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

When a repair isn’t the answer

In fairness, some problems need a different fix:

  • Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
  • A whole bath that’s dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
  • Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath

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

Materials we repair
