Looking after it afterwards

A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:

  • Ensure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
  • 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

Treat the repaired area like the rest of the bath: a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs. Keep scouring pads and gritty cleaners away from it.

Rust under enamel spreads surprisingly quickly. Left for months, a small chip can grow into a large rust patch, so early repair keeps the cost down.

What we can’t put right

We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair will not do:

  • Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
  • A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
  • A whole bath that’s dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before booking.

Surfaces we repair

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

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. There is no charge for travel to Wattisham Stone. The price depends on:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The material and finish

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You will see the full price before you book, with nothing added on the day.

Quotes from your pictures

You can take the photos on your phone. Just make sure we can see:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • What it’s made of, if you know

No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.

What your bath is made of matters

Composite and resin

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

Pressed steel

Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.

What we do, step by step

On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we will get on with it. The job generally runs to a few hours, tidy-up included.

  1. We clean the area and remove any loose enamel or rust.
  2. We fill the damage and sand it flush with the surrounding surface.
  3. The colour is mixed on the spot to match your bath.
  4. Finish coats go on, then the repair is polished to blend in.
  5. We leave it to cure; you can normally use the bath the day after.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Let us know about parking or access

Getting a price

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and no obligation.

Why repair rather than replace?

Cast iron baths especially are worth keeping: they’re very heavy to remove, especially upstairs, and a like-for-like replacement can be expensive. A repair keeps it in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.

Why book with us

  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • We leave the room as we found it

When to call us in Wattisham Stone

Heavy toiletries are the biggest single cause of chips, with dropped shower heads close behind. Fittings cause damage too: water sits around them, and any chip there soon rusts.

If you can see any of these, send us a picture:

  • Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
  • Damage beneath the taps
  • A cracked acrylic bath
  • An old repair that has yellowed or come loose

Wattisham Stone questions

Can a cracked acrylic bath be fixed?

In most cases. The back of the crack is strengthened before the front is filled and refinished, so we need access under the bath.

Is repairing better than replacing?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

Do you work in Wattisham Stone?

Yes, we do. Technicians travel to Wattisham Stone from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.

How long does the repair take to cure?

Normally by the following day, depending on the repair.

Can landlords book you?

We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

How do I get a price for bath repair in Wattisham Stone?

Prices start from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You’ll get a fixed figure before you book.

Do you repair coloured baths?

Yes, coloured baths are no problem. We tint the finish to your bath on site.

Can pets and children be at home?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
