How to look after the repair

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
  • Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
  • Have new chips seen to early
  • Make sure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot

Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy items on the repaired area. Get any new chip seen to quickly, before rust can start.

Until we visit, a strip of waterproof tape over the damage helps, to keep water out. Take it off before we arrive.

How we handle bath repair in West Lambrook

Whatever has happened to the bath, we aim for the same result: a smooth, solid repair that blends in. Proper preparation, careful filling and shaping, then colour and gloss matching so it’s level with the surrounding surface. We’re frequently asked to fix chips caused by builders and rusty patches near the plughole, across acrylic, cast iron enamel and pressed steel enamel.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Your questions about bath repair in West Lambrook

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.

What information do you need?

Photos of the damage, a photo of the whole bath and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.

What about rust by the waste?

Yes, it’s one of the most common repairs we do. We take it back to sound metal, seal it, fill it and match the colour.

I tried a repair kit. Can you fix it?

Regularly. We strip it out, deal with any rust and repair it again.

Will the repair last?

Yes, if it’s prepared properly and the bath is sound. It carries our one-year guarantee.

Are you a vetted contractor?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

Do you repair coloured baths?

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

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 access behind the panel is important.

What your bath is made of matters

Acrylic

Acrylic baths are moulded sheet reinforced underneath. There is no rust, but cracks, holes and scratches happen, and a crack only stays repaired if it’s supported underneath.

Cast iron

Cast iron is heavy and rigid, finished with fired enamel. Chips can rust if left, but the body of the bath lasts a very long time, which makes it well worth repairing.

The process

When we visit, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take a morning or an afternoon. We clean up when we’re done and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
  2. We clean, key and degrease the damage.
  3. We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
  4. We match both the colour and the shine.
  5. We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the following day.

Before we arrive

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

How to get a price

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

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, it’s worth having it done properly.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Cast iron baths especially are worth keeping: they’re very heavy to remove, especially upstairs, and a like-for-like replacement can be expensive. Repairing it leaves it where it is. Prices start from £95. 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. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Why us?

  • Colour-matched on site
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • A year’s guarantee on all work

What a repair cannot fix

We’d rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:

  • Metal that has corroded all the way through
  • Cracks in acrylic we cannot reach from underneath
  • Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.
