Surface repairs across B1

Bath repair at your home in B1

A repair fixes just the damaged area and blends it into the rest of the bath, which is far cheaper than replacing a fitted bath and the tiles around it. Most baths can be used again the following day. Typical jobs include chips under the taps and damage done while the bathroom was being fitted, across roll-top & freestanding, whirlpool & spa baths and cast iron enamel.

Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. Most visits take a few hours, depending on the damage, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
  2. Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
  3. We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
  4. We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
  5. Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.

What a repair can’t fix

Not everything can be repaired, and we would rather say so up front. We can’t fix:

  • Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
  • Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
  • Cracks in acrylic we cannot reach from underneath

How the damage happens

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

Send us a photo if you notice any of these:

  • Snagging damage from a refit
  • A failed DIY repair that is discoloured or lifting
  • Chips along the edge of the bath
  • Deep scratches in acrylic

Looking after it afterwards

How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
  • If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
  • Give the bath a quick rinse after use
  • Do not leave a fresh chip for long

There’s nothing special to do after a repair, just sensible cleaning. Skip bleach and gritty creams and rinse after use.

Stop using the bath if a crack lets water through. Leaks under a bath can damage floors and ceilings.

Different materials, different repairs

Composite and resin

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

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

How we price bath repair

Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We look at:

  • The type of damage
  • What the surface is made of
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • How much damage there is

A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

How to get a fixed price

Most quotes are done from photos alone. To make it quick:

  • A picture taken from further back
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • The material, if you know it

There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

FAQs for B1

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before and we’ll plan for it.

Can a cracked acrylic bath be fixed?

In most cases. We reinforce the crack from behind, then fill and refinish the front, so we need access under the bath.

Can you price it without visiting?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.

Is the work guaranteed?

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Can you match an avocado or pink bath?

Yes, coloured baths are no problem. The colour is tinted by hand on the day.

Is a repair better than a new one?

In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
