How the visit works

We work cleanly and quietly, so you can carry on at home. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes two to three hours for most chips. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to care for it.

  1. First, we check the damage against your photos and agree the plan.
  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.

How to prepare

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Aftercare tips

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:

  • Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
  • Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
  • Rinse it down after each bath
  • Get a dripping tap fixed promptly

Keep metal objects like razors and cans off the surface, as they can leave rust marks. And fix dripping taps promptly.

Rust spreads under enamel faster than most people expect. A chip the size of a fingernail can become a much larger patch if it’s left for months, so early repair keeps the cost down.

What bath repair costs

Repairs from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Upper Weybread. The price depends on:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • How many areas need work
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.

Send photos for a quote

You can take the photos on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Make sure they show:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

Most clients in Upper Weybread get their price from photos. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

When a repair is not the answer

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

  • Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
  • Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
  • A whole bath that is dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix

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

What we work on

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

What we are called out for in Upper Weybread

Rust tends to begin where water collects, around the waste, under the taps or in an old chip. Once water reaches the steel or iron, rust spreads under the enamel.

Send us a photo if you notice any of these:

  • Rusty patches near the plughole
  • A chipped rim or side
  • Cracks in an acrylic bath
  • A chip where the taps sit

Questions to ask before you book

  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • Who will actually do the work
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price

10 questions to ask before you book

Repair or replace in Upper Weybread?

If the rest of the bath is in good condition, a repair is almost always the better choice. It’s quicker, cheaper and far less disruptive, and the bathroom stays as it is. Where the entire surface is tired, we may suggest re-enamelling instead. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing typically costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Why us?

  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • A fixed quote before booking
  • Repair technicians who travel to you, UK-wide

See our pricing and bath cost comparison.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
