Bath repair in Springfield without replacing anything

A repair fixes just the damaged area and blends it into the rest of the bath, which is far cheaper than replacing a fitted bath and the tiles around it. You can normally use the bath the following day. Our technicians work on cast iron enamel, whirlpool & spa baths and roll-top & freestanding, and people most often call us about a chip where the taps sit and deep scratches in acrylic.

You are covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

What your bath is made of matters

Pressed steel

Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.

Acrylic

An acrylic bath is a moulded sheet strengthened from below. There’s no rust, but cracks, holes and scratches happen, and cracks need support from behind to stay fixed.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The colour and finish to match
  • How much damage there is
  • What the surface is made of

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Send pictures for a quote

Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To help us price it:

  • A photo taken from further back
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Do you need bath repair in Springfield?

Glass and heavy bottles cause more chips than anything else, with dropped shower heads close behind. Fittings cause damage too: water collects there, so chips nearby rust quickly.

Most people get in touch after spotting one of these:

  • A failed DIY repair that is discoloured or lifting
  • Rust spots around the plughole
  • Snagging damage from a refit
  • Scratches you can feel with a fingernail

  • How the colour is matched
  • Who will actually do the work
  • How soon you can use it again

Choosing a repair company

The process

When we visit, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take a few hours, depending on the damage. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. First, we check the damage against your photos and agree the plan.
  2. Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
  3. We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
  4. The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
  5. The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.

Preparing for the visit

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

How to get a price

To get a price, send two or three photos using our quote form or ring us. We’ll say right away whether it can be repaired.

Landlord and trade work in Springfield

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

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip.

DIY kit or professional repair?

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.

What we can’t put right

A repair is not always the answer, and we’ll tell you before we start. We can’t fix:

  • Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
  • A steel bath rusted through
  • Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet

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

Surfaces we repair

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

Repair or replace: which is better?

Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Springfield.
