Bath repair for Sperberry Hill homes

Looking after it afterwards

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

  • Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
  • Do not leave razors or cans standing in the bath
  • Do not leave a fresh chip for long
  • Don’t scrub with anything abrasive

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

If water is getting through a crack, stop using the bath. Leaks under a bath can damage floors and ceilings.

How we handle bath repair in Sperberry Hill

Most bath damage, from chips and cracks to rust spots and holes, can be repaired with the bath left exactly where it is. There’s no plumbing to disconnect, the tiles are not touched, and the repaired area is colour matched so it blends in. We’re often asked to fix scuffs and scratches in the surface and chips under the taps, across cast iron enamel, roll-top & freestanding and acrylic.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

How it works

You do not need to empty 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’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

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

Before we arrive

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

Ask for a price

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos using our quote form or ring us. We’ll say straight away if a repair is the right fix.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Composite and resin

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

Pressed steel

Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.

Prices and what affects them

  • The colour and finish to match
  • The material
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.

Quotes from your pictures

You can usually get a fixed quote without us visiting. To help us price it:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • A wider photo showing the entire bath
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Natural light rather than flash

Upload pictures of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Sperberry Hill, and we will reply with a fixed price.

Why repair rather than replace?

Cast iron baths in particular are worth repairing: they’re very heavy to remove, especially upstairs, and replacing like for like is not cheap. Repairing it leaves it where it is. Our bath repair starts from £95. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

What you get with us

  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • Work done at your home or business
  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • A fixed quote before you book

What we are called out for in Sperberry Hill

Heavy toiletries are the biggest single cause of chips, closely followed by shower heads. Taps and wastes cause problems too: water sits around them, and any chip there soon rusts.

Get in touch if you’ve noticed:

  • A chipped rim or side
  • Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
  • Damage beneath the taps
  • Rusty patches near the plughole
