Bath repair at your home in The Bank

A damaged bath doesn’t have to mean a new bathroom. We fill the damage, shape it to the curve of the bath and refinish it, with the colour mixed on site so the repair is hard to spot. If you’re dealing with impact holes in acrylic and a chipped rim or side, we can help.

Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in The Bank and across Staffordshire.

How we price bath repair

Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from photos. These are the things that affect it:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • How many areas need work
  • The material and finish
  • Access to the area

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking, with nothing added on the day.

Getting a price from photos

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Please include:

  • The material, if you know it
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

To get a price, send a couple of pictures through our quote form or ring us. We’ll say right away if a repair is the right fix.

What we are called out for in The Bank

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.

Signs it’s time to call us include:

  • Deep scratches in acrylic
  • An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
  • Damage beneath the taps
  • A hole punched through by something heavy

What to look for in a quote

  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • Aftercare advice
  • Whether the price covers travel
  • How the room is protected while they work

Choosing a repair company

Your questions about bath repair in The Bank

Which areas do you work in?

We cover the whole UK, including The Bank and the rest of Staffordshire. Just include your postcode and we’ll offer you dates.

Are there extra charges for The Bank?

We don’t add a call-out fee. Your fixed quote includes everything.

Do you repair coloured baths?

Yes. We mix the colour on the day to match, including older coloured suites.

Will you leave a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.

Is my repair covered?

Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

How invisible is a bath repair?

On a bath in good condition, a colour-matched repair is very hard to spot. On worn enamel, it can look shinier than the rest.

Something went through my bath. Can it be fixed?

Typically. Photos of the hole and the underside help us check.

When can I have a bath again?

Typically the day after. We will tell you the exact curing time when we finish.

The process

On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll take it from there. Most visits take two to three hours for most chips, tidy-up included.

  1. First, we check the damage against your photos and agree the plan.
  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. The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
  5. Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Open a window if you can

What your bath is made of matters

Composite and resin

Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour-matched, in much the same way.

Cast iron

Cast iron is heavy and rigid, finished with fired enamel. Chips can rust if left, but the bath itself lasts for generations, which makes it well worth repairing.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

Looking after it afterwards

How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Give the bath a quick rinse after use
  • Check that an acrylic bath does not move when you stand in it
  • Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
  • Store metal items away from the bath

Give the repair the full curing time we recommend before using the bath. From then on, mild cleaning is all it needs.

Until we visit, a strip of waterproof tape over the damage helps, so water can’t get in. Remove it before the repair.
