Our bath repair service in AB32

A repair fixes just the damaged area and blends it into the rest of the bath, which costs far less than replacing a fitted bath. Most baths can be used again the day after. Common call-outs are for damage done while the bathroom was being fitted and a kit repair that didn’t last, in acrylic, whirlpool & spa baths and cast iron enamel.

Here’s how a visit normally runs: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, do the job and clear up. Plan for two to three hours for most chips. Before we go, we will explain how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
  2. The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased.
  3. Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
  4. Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
  5. We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the following day.

Repairs by material

Acrylic

Acrylic baths are moulded sheet reinforced underneath. There’s no rust, but cracks, holes and scratches happen, and cracks need support from behind to stay fixed.

Composite and resin

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

Looking after it afterwards

Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:

  • Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
  • Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
  • Do not scrub with anything abrasive
  • Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning

There’s nothing special to do after a repair. Avoid bleach-based and gritty cleaners.

Stop using the bath if a crack lets water through until it’s repaired. Leaks under a bath can damage floors and ceilings.

Common problems we fix in AB32

The usual cause is something heavy dropped into the bath, and a lot happen during bathroom refits. Cracks in acrylic have a different cause: poor support underneath, so the bath flexes when it’s full.

These are the problems we’re asked about most:

  • Scuffs and scratches in the surface
  • Rust spots around the plughole
  • A kit repair that didn’t last
  • Chips along the edge of the bath

What affects the price in AB32

Repairs from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • How much damage there is
  • What kind of damage it is

Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for AB32. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

How to get a fixed price

We price nearly every job from photos. This is what we need:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A picture taken from further back

For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.

Common questions in AB32

How invisible is a bath repair?

The goal is a repair that blends in. The rest of the bath’s condition makes a difference, and we will tell you what to expect.

Do you charge for travel?

There is no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.

Can you match an avocado or pink bath?

Yes. The colour is mixed on site to suit your bath, including older coloured suites.

What happens after I send photos?

We review the pictures and send a fixed quote.

Are you a vetted contractor?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

Do the materials smell?

There may be a mild smell during the work.
