Advice
Bath repair in Upper Common, done in place
A typical bath repair is a few hours’ work, and the bath is back in use the next day. You won’t need a plumber or tiler, because the bath does not move. We work on cast iron enamel, pressed steel enamel and acrylic, and people most often call us about chips under the taps and rusty patches near the plughole.
Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

Your questions about bath repair in Upper Common
Which areas do you work in?
Across the UK. Our prices are the same everywhere.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.
What about rust by the waste?
Yes, very often. We take it back to sound metal, seal it, fill it and match the colour.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
When can you do it?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
How long before I can use the bath?
Normally by the following day, though it depends on what we have done.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Typically, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
How do I get a price for bath repair in Upper Common?
Prices start from £95. We give a fixed price based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.
How to care for the repair
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Check that an acrylic bath doesn’t move when you stand in it
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
Give the repair the full curing time we recommend before running a bath. From then on, mild cleaning is all it needs.
Don’t leave a chip on a steel or cast iron bath. Once water reaches the metal, rust begins, turning a quick repair into a bigger one.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
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.
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, and the work is guaranteed.
Common problems we fix in Upper Common
The usual cause is something heavy dropped into the bath, and a lot happen during bathroom refits. Cracks in acrylic have a different cause: the bath is not properly supported, so it flexes under weight.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
- Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
- A cracked acrylic bath
- A failed DIY repair that is discoloured or lifting
What to look for in a quote
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- What preparation is included
- Who turns up on the day
- How your room will be protected
How we price bath repair
Prices start from £95. You’ll know the full cost before you book. We look at:
- How much damage there is
- What kind of damage it is
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before booking.
Getting a price from photos
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Details of any past repairs
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, in much the same way.
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Landlord and trade work in Upper Common
For anyone letting property in or around Upper Common, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send photos for each one and we will price them together.
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
What a repair can’t fix
It helps to know what we cannot do too:
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.
