  • Scuffs and scratches in the surface
  • Chips along the edge of the bath
  • Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
  • Rust by the waste and overflow

Our hiring checklist

Bath repair in Southtown, done in place

You do not need a new bath because of a chip. Our repair technicians fill, shape and refinish the damage, mixing the colour on the day so the repair is hard to spot. Typical jobs include rust by the waste and overflow and holes from dropped items, across roll-top & freestanding, cast iron enamel and acrylic.

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

Keeping it looking good

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
  • Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
  • Give the bath a quick rinse after use
  • If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted

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

Until we visit, a strip of waterproof tape over the damage helps, so water can’t get in. Remove it before the repair.

Questions from Southtown

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before and we’ll plan for it.

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

We look at the photos and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

Will you leave a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Will the repair last?

A properly prepared repair should last a long time, and ours come with a one-year guarantee. Gentle cleaning helps it last.

Is there a call-out fee?

No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Different materials, different repairs

Cast iron

Cast iron is heavy and rigid, finished with fired enamel. A chip down to the iron can rust, but the bath itself lasts for generations, which makes it well worth repairing.

Acrylic

Acrylic baths are moulded sheet reinforced underneath. There is no rust, but cracks, holes and scratches happen, and a crack only stays repaired if it’s supported underneath.

Repair or replace in Southtown?

Cast iron baths in particular are worth repairing: getting one out, particularly from an upstairs bathroom, is a big job, and a like-for-like replacement can be expensive. A repair keeps it in place. Prices start from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Southtown. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

What you get with us

  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK

Honest limits

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

  • Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we cannot get to from below
  • A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
  • Metal that has corroded all the way through

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.

Surfaces we repair

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

What we do, step by step

We turn up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your photos first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. Most visits take a morning or an afternoon, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
  2. We fill the damage and sand it flush with the surrounding surface.
  3. We tint the finish on the day to suit your bath’s shade of white or colour.
  4. We apply the finish coats and polish the repair so it blends in.
  5. Once it has cured, normally by the next day, the bath is ready to use.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Open a window if you can
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

Getting a price

Advice

DIY repairs versus a professional job

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

Work for landlords and builders

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Southtown use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it usually costs far less than a refit.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, pictures and access details.
