Bath repair in World's End

Repairs by material

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 often freestanding. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, in much the same way.

How we handle bath repair in World's End

It pays to repair bath damage while it’s small. Exposed metal on enamelled baths soon rusts, while cracks in acrylic grow each time the bath moves. Repairing it stops the damage getting worse. Whether it’s an old repair that has yellowed or come loose and holes from dropped items, we can help.

Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

What bath repair costs

Repairs from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • What the surface is made of
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

Every job is a little different, 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 doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

How to get a fixed quote

When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • A wider photo showing the whole bath
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job without visiting.

What happens on the day

From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes a few hours, depending on the damage, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. We start by cleaning the damage and taking out loose enamel and rust.
  2. The chip or crack is filled, then sanded level with the bath.
  3. We mix the colour on the day to match your bath’s exact shade.
  4. We build up the finish and polish it into the surrounding enamel.
  5. The repair is left to cure, and most baths can be used the next day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

Ask for a price

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire bath, add your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

World's End: your questions answered

Can a cracked acrylic bath be fixed?

Most of the time. The back of the crack is strengthened before the front is filled and refinished, so access behind the panel is important.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Of course, and it usually saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Yes, we often do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

How do I book?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

Do I need to be at home?

We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Do you hold any accreditations?

We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

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

Is the work guaranteed?

All our work carries a one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.

Looking after it afterwards

Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:

  • Do not scrub with anything abrasive
  • Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
  • Put a towel in the bath if you are working above it
  • A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early

Leave the repair to cure for as long as we say before using the bath. After that, gentle cleaning keeps it looking good.

Stop using the bath if a crack lets water through. Water under the bath can damage the floor and the ceiling below.

When a repair isn’t the answer

We’d rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so these are the limits:

  • A whole bath that’s dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
  • Metal that has corroded all the way through
  • A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.

Surfaces we repair

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

Landlords, agents and businesses in World's End

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in World's End use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

What we’re called out for in World's End

Dropped items cause the majority of chips, and a lot happen during bathroom refits. Acrylic baths crack for a different reason: the bath isn’t properly supported, so it flexes under weight.

Common reasons people in World's End contact us are:

  • Chips caused by builders
  • Scuffs and scratches in the surface
  • Rust by the waste and overflow
  • Hairline or through cracks in acrylic

What your quote should include

  • If travel is included in the price
  • How soon you can use it again
  • Aftercare advice
  • How the room is protected while they work

How to compare quotes

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 isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
