Speen questions

How invisible is a bath repair?

On a bath in good condition, a colour matched repair is very hard to spot. On older, dull enamel the repair can look glossier than the area around it.

Do you do work for letting agents?

We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Can you fix rust around the plughole?

Yes, it’s one of the most common repairs we do. We take it back to sound metal, seal it, fill it and match the colour.

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

Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

Is the work guaranteed?

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.

What happens next?

We look at the photos and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.

Are you a vetted contractor?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

Do you cover Speen?

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

About our bath repair in Speen

Whatever the damage, the aim is the same: a repair that is smooth, sound and hard to spot. Proper preparation, careful filling and shaping, then colour and gloss matching so it sits flush with the rest of the bath. If you’re dealing with a kit repair that didn’t last and a chipped rim or side, we can help, whatever the material.

Every repair is covered by our one-year guarantee.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Composite and resin

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

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.

What bath repair costs

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

  • The colour and finish to match
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The type of damage
  • What the surface is made of

Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

How to get a fixed quote

Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • One picture of the whole bath
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and no obligation.

Common problems we fix in Speen

Dropped items cause the majority of chips, and a lot happen during bathroom refits. Cracks in acrylic have a different cause: the bath is not properly supported, so it flexes under weight.

People usually call us after spotting one of these:

  • Damage beneath the taps
  • A chipped rim or side
  • Chips caused by builders
  • Hairline or through cracks in acrylic

Comparing quotes

  • How to care for the finish
  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • What happens if they find more damage

10 questions to ask before booking

Can I fix it myself?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

The process

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we have agreed what we’re doing. Most jobs take a few hours, depending on the damage, and you can get on with other things while we are there.

  1. We clean the area and remove any loose enamel or rust.
  2. The chip or crack is filled, then sanded level with the bath.
  3. We mix the colour on the day to match your bath’s exact shade.
  4. Finish coats go on, then the repair is polished to blend in.
  5. Once it has cured, normally by the day after, the bath is ready to use.

Before we arrive

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Related advice

Work for landlords and builders

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

Keeping it looking good

Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:

  • Have new chips seen to early
  • Give the bath a quick rinse after use
  • Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
  • Keep metal cans and razors off the surface

In the first few days, avoid putting weight or bottles on the repair. After that, normal gentle cleaning is fine.

Avoid standing in a cracked acrylic bath until it’s fixed. Each time it flexes, the crack grows, and it can start to leak underneath.

What we can’t put right

We would rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so these are the limits:

  • A steel bath rusted through
  • A whole bath that’s dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
  • A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)

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

Materials we repair

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