Our bath repair service in AB54

Whether your bath is steel, cast iron or acrylic, we can repair it. The method changes with the material: rust is treated on metal baths, while cracks in acrylic are reinforced from underneath. We’re often asked to fix a chip where the taps sit and a failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting, on pressed steel enamel, roll-top & freestanding and acrylic.

Here’s how a visit typically runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and clear up. Plan for two to three hours for most chips from start to finish. Before we go, we will explain how long to leave it and how to look after it.

  1. We start by cleaning the damage and taking out loose enamel and rust.
  2. We fill the damage and sand it flush with the surrounding surface.
  3. We tint the finish on the day to suit your bath’s shade of white or colour.
  4. We apply the finish coats and polish the repair so it blends in.
  5. The repair is left to cure, and most baths can be used the following day.

What we are called out for in AB54

Acrylic baths that crack nearly always have a support problem. Legs that aren’t adjusted, a missing cradle or a soft floor let the bath move until the acrylic gives way.

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

  • Chips on the rim or sides
  • Cracks in an acrylic bath
  • Impact holes in acrylic
  • An old repair that has yellowed or come loose

Looking after it afterwards

So the finish stays in good condition for years:

  • Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
  • Store metal items away from the bath
  • Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
  • Ensure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot

Care for the repair the same way as the bath: a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs. Keep scouring pads and gritty cleaners away from it.

If water is getting through a crack, stop using the bath. Water under the bath can damage the floor and the ceiling below.

Can I fix it myself?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

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, and the work is guaranteed.

Repair or replace?

When the bath is otherwise sound, repairing beats replacing. It’s quicker, cheaper and far less disruptive, and you keep the bath you chose. If the whole surface is worn, re-enamelling may make more sense, and we will tell you.

Questions to ask before booking

  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
