Bath repair in Upton without replacing anything

Bath repair is our most common job. A chip by the taps, a crack in the base and a rust spot by the plughole are all fixed without removing the bath, normally in a single visit. Common call-outs are for chips on the rim or sides and chips under the taps, on roll-top & freestanding, cast iron enamel and pressed steel enamel.

Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Different materials, different repairs

Pressed steel

Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.

Composite and resin

Composite baths are dense and solid, and frequently freestanding. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, in much the same way.

What we’re called out for in Upton

Rust generally starts where water sits, around the waste, under the taps or in an old chip. Water on bare metal causes rust that creeps under the surrounding enamel.

Clients usually contact us about:

  • A cracked acrylic bath
  • Chips along the edge of the bath
  • Rust by the waste and overflow
  • A kit repair that didn’t last

Before you book anyone

  • How changes to the job are handled
  • How to look after the finish
  • What prep work is covered
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers

Choosing a repair company

Keeping it looking good

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:

  • Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
  • Give the bath a quick rinse after use
  • Make sure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
  • A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early

Keep metal objects like razors and cans off the surface, because they can mark the enamel. And fix dripping taps promptly.

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.

What a repair can’t fix

Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits:

  • Wear across the whole surface, which needs re-enamelling
  • A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
  • A steel bath rusted through

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

How we price bath repair

Prices start from £95. You will know the full cost before booking. We look at:

  • What the surface is made of
  • How much damage there is
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Doing more than one item at once

The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book, with nothing added on the day.

Send pictures for a quote

You can generally get a fixed price without us visiting. To help us price it:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • One picture of the entire bath
  • Where you are, by postcode

There’s no need for us to visit first. 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 quote.

What happens on the day

Here’s how a visit generally runs: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and tidy away. Plan for a morning or an afternoon. Before we go, we will explain when it can be used and how to care for it.

  1. First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
  2. Next we fill the damage and sand it smooth and level.
  3. We tint the finish on the day to suit your bath’s shade of white or colour.
  4. Finish coats go on, then the repair is polished to blend in.
  5. We leave it to cure; you can typically use the bath the next day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Ask for a price

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. There’s no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.

Your questions about bath repair in Upton

How soon can you come?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.

Are there extra charges for Upton?

No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Can pets and children be at home?

Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.

Can you repair a chip on a coloured bath?

Yes, coloured baths are no problem. The colour is tinted by hand on the day.

What happens after I send photos?

We look at the photos and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.

Will you leave a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.

Is my repair covered?

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.

Should you replace it?

A new bath costs more than the bath itself: taking out the old one, plumbing, tiling, a panel and redecorating. A repair is one job, done in one visit. Our bath repair starts from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Why us?

  • We leave the room as we found it
  • Repair technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • Nothing taken out or refitted

See our pricing or resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.

For landlords and businesses

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.
