Bath repair near Sunhill

What we do, step by step

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which generally takes a few hours. If anything looks different from your pictures, we will talk to you before going ahead.

  1. We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
  2. Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
  3. We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
  4. We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
  5. The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.

How to prepare

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Sunhill questions

Can a cracked acrylic bath be fixed?

In most cases. We reinforce the crack from behind, then fill and refinish the front, so access behind the panel is important.

Is there any odour?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.

Do you cover Sunhill?

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

When can I have a bath again?

Generally the day after. We confirm the time before we leave.

Do you repair coloured baths?

Yes, coloured baths are no problem. We tint the finish to your bath on site.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.

Is the work guaranteed?

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

Signs you need bath repair in Sunhill

Rust typically starts where water sits, around the waste, under the taps or in an old chip. Once water reaches the steel or iron, rust spreads under the enamel.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

  • Deep scratches in acrylic
  • Rusty patches near the plughole
  • Impact holes in acrylic
  • Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted

What your quote should include

  • Who will actually do the work
  • When it can be used again
  • What aftercare is recommended
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges

How to compare quotes

Different materials, different repairs

Composite and resin

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

Acrylic

Acrylic baths are moulded sheet reinforced underneath. There’s no rust, but cracks, holes and scratches happen, and cracks need support from behind to stay fixed.

What bath repair costs

Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:

  • What the surface is made of
  • How many areas need work
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Unusual colours or finishes

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.

Getting a price from pictures

Before you send pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • The material, if you know it
  • One picture of the entire bath
  • Something in shot to show the size

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

Can I fix it myself?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

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, a professional repair is worth it.

Looking after it afterwards

To keep it looking its best:

  • Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
  • Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
  • Give the bath a quick rinse after use
  • If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted

Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy items on the repaired area. Get any new chip seen to quickly, before rust can start.

A chip on a metal bath shouldn’t be left. Water gets to the metal and rust starts, turning a quick repair into a bigger one.

When a repair is not the answer

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:

  • Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
  • Wear across the entire surface, which needs re-enamelling
  • Acrylic cracks with no access behind them

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