About our bath repair in Woodham Mortimer

A damaged bath does not have to mean a new bathroom. Our repair technicians fill, shape and refinish the damage, mixing the colour on the day. We’re frequently asked to fix damage beneath the taps and a hole punched through by something heavy, in acrylic, pressed steel enamel and cast iron enamel.

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

Before and after: a chipped, rust-stained bath around the plughole

Honest limits

To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:

  • Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we cannot get to from below
  • Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
  • A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Questions from Woodham Mortimer

What do you need from me?

Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.

Can you repair a crack in an acrylic bath?

Frequently, yes, as long as we can get to the back of the crack to support it. Take off the bath panel and check, or send us a photo.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

Do you hold any accreditations?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

Will I be able to see the repair?

The goal is a repair that blends in. How well it disappears depends on the condition of the rest of the bath.

Do the materials smell?

There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.

Can you redo an old repair?

Yes. We take out the old repair and do it properly. Tell us about it when you send photos.

When can you do it?

We will give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.

What happens on the day

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 few hours. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.

  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. We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
  4. The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
  5. The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.

Before we arrive

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Let us know about parking or access

Getting a price

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.

  • One price list for the entire UK

See our pricing or resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.

How to care for the repair

Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:

  • Give the bath a quick rinse after use
  • Have new chips seen to early
  • Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
  • If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted

For the first few days, keep heavy bottles off the repaired spot. After that, clean it as you would the rest of the bath, avoiding abrasives.

If an acrylic bath has a crack, stop showering in it until it’s repaired. Every use opens the crack a little more, and it can start to leak underneath.

What we’re called out for in Woodham Mortimer

Rust tends to begin where water collects, by the plughole, beneath dripping taps or in an unrepaired chip. Once water reaches the steel or iron, rust spreads under the enamel.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

  • Holes from dropped items
  • Chips under the taps
  • Chips on the rim or sides
  • Scratches you can feel with a fingernail

What your quote should include

  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • When it can be used again
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Cast iron

Cast iron is heavy and rigid, finished with fired enamel. Chips can rust if left, but the bath itself lasts for generations, which makes it well worth repairing.

Composite and resin

Composite baths are dense and solid, and often freestanding. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour-matched, just like other baths.
