Repairs by material

Composite and resin

Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid, and often freestanding. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour-matched, in much the same way.

Acrylic

Acrylic baths are moulded sheet reinforced underneath. They do not rust, but they can crack, scratch or be holed, and a crack only stays repaired if it’s supported underneath.

Bath repair in Tuckingmill, done in place

You don’t need a new bath because of a chip. 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 chips caused by builders and a chip where the taps sit, we can usually put it right, whatever the material.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re not left on your own once we’ve gone.

What we do, step by step

Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so you know exactly what we are doing. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and the work begins. You can expect it to take two to three hours for most chips, and we’ll keep you posted as we go.

  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. The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of 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.

Before we arrive

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Advice

What bath repair costs

Repairs from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How much damage there is
  • What the surface is made of
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

A repair generally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Quotes from your photos

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Any details about the material

You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

What a repair cannot fix

In fairness, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:

  • Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
  • Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we cannot get to from below
  • Wear across the entire surface, which needs re-enamelling

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.

What we work on

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

Should you replace it?

When the bath is otherwise sound, repairing beats replacing. It costs less, takes less time and causes far less upheaval, and the bathroom stays as it is. If the entire surface is worn, re-enamelling may make more sense, and we will tell you. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Why us?

  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • No extra charge for your area
  • Fixed prices from your photos
  • No need to remove anything

Landlords, agents and businesses in Tuckingmill

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

What we’re called out for in Tuckingmill

Dropped items cause the majority of chips, and a lot happen during bathroom refits. Acrylic baths crack for a different reason: the bath is not properly supported, so it flexes under weight.

You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:

  • Snagging damage from a refit
  • Scuffs and scratches in the surface
  • An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
  • Damage beneath the taps
