Our bath repair service in B7

Most of our bath repairs take a few hours, and you can normally bathe again the next day. You will not need a plumber or tiler, because nothing is disconnected. Typical jobs include rusty patches near the plughole and snagging damage from a refit, on acrylic, roll-top & freestanding and pressed steel enamel.

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which normally takes two to three hours for most chips. If anything looks different from your photos, we will talk to you before going ahead.

  1. Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
  2. We clean, key and degrease the damage.
  3. We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
  4. We match both the colour and the shine.
  5. We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, generally the next day.

Repairing versus replacing

Cast iron baths in particular are worth repairing: they’re very heavy to remove, especially upstairs, and replacing like for like isn’t cheap. Repairing it leaves it where it is.

Questions to ask before you book

  • What prep work is covered
  • Whether the price covers travel
  • Who will actually do the work
  • How the room is protected while they work

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. 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.

Aftercare tips

A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:

  • Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
  • Give the bath a quick rinse after use
  • If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
  • Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth

Do not leave razors, cans or hair grips in the bath, because they can mark the enamel. And fix dripping taps promptly.

Do not leave a chip on a steel or cast iron bath. Water gets to the metal and rust starts, turning a quick repair into a bigger one.

For landlords and businesses

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

How the damage happens

Many chips happen while the bathroom is being fitted. Tools, tiles and fittings get dropped into the bath, frequently before anyone notices. Snagging repairs like these are a regular job for us.

The most common problems we’re called about are:

  • An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
  • Snagging damage from a refit
  • Holes from dropped items
  • A cracked acrylic bath

FAQs for B7

Can I add another job to the visit?

Of course, and it normally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.

When can you do it?

That depends on our diary for your area. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
