Summerstown questions

Is there a guarantee?

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

Can a cracked acrylic bath be fixed?

Often, yes, as long as we can get to the back of the crack to support it. Take off the bath panel and check, or send us a photo.

Can rust on a bath be repaired?

Yes, it’s one of the most common repairs we do. The rust is cut back to clean metal and sealed before we fill and finish it.

Do you work in Summerstown?

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

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.

How do I book?

Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.

Do you charge for travel?

Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.

How we handle bath repair in Summerstown

A damaged bath doesn’t have to mean a new bathroom. Our technicians fill, shape and refinish the damage, with the colour mixed on site so the repair is hard to spot. Common call-outs are for impact holes in acrylic and rust by the waste and overflow, on pressed steel enamel, whirlpool & spa baths and roll-top & freestanding.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

A DIY attempt is not 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 photos.

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Repairs by material

Acrylic

An acrylic bath is a moulded sheet strengthened from below. They do not rust, but they can crack, scratch or be holed, and a crack only stays repaired if it’s supported underneath.

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that is the part we put right.

How it works

There’s not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will take it from there. Most visits take a morning or an afternoon.

  1. We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
  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

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Getting a price

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire bath, we can give you a fixed price without visiting.

Related advice

When we’d advise against a repair

To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair will not fix:

  • Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
  • A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
  • Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we cannot get to from below

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

Surfaces we repair

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

Keeping it looking good

Looking after the surface is easy:

  • A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
  • Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
  • Don’t scrub with anything abrasive
  • Rinse it down after each bath

Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy items on the repaired area. Deal with new chips early, before rust can start.

Don’t leave a chip on a steel or cast iron bath. Once water reaches the metal, rust begins, and a rust spot is a bigger repair than a clean chip.

Work for landlords and builders

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Summerstown as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it normally costs far less than a refit.

What bath repair costs

Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • What kind of damage it is
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Summerstown. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Send pictures for a quote

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

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

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

Common problems we fix in Summerstown

Dropped items cause the majority of chips, and building work is a common culprit. Acrylic baths crack for a different reason: poor support underneath, so the bath flexes when it’s full.

Look out for these signs:

  • Rust by the waste and overflow
  • Damage beneath the taps
  • Scuffs and scratches in the surface
  • Chips along the edge of the bath

What to look for in a quote

  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
  • How soon you can use it again
