Bath repair across B91: what to expect

Most of our bath repairs take a few hours, and the bath is back in use the next day. There’s no need to book a plumber or tiler, because nothing is disconnected. Typical jobs include an old repair that has yellowed or come loose and holes from dropped items, in roll-top & freestanding, acrylic and whirlpool & spa baths.

Once we’re through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes a morning or an afternoon, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. First, we check the damage against your pictures and agree the plan.
  2. Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
  3. The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
  4. We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
  5. The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.

What affects the price in B91

Prices start from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • What the surface is made of
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • How many areas need work

Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

If you are in B91 and want a price, the easiest route is photos: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

What we are called out for in B91

Nearly all the chips we see start with something being dropped: bottles, shower heads, tiles and tools. On enamelled baths, a chip that reaches the metal lets water in, and rust follows.

People usually call us after spotting one of these:

  • Deep scratches in acrylic
  • Holes from dropped items
  • Chips under the taps
  • Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted

Repair or replace?

Many people think a damaged bath means a new one. Normally it does not: a repair keeps the bath in service for years, and costs far less than the disruption of a replacement.

When a repair is not the answer

A repair isn’t always the answer, and we would rather say so up front. We cannot fix:

  • Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
  • Metal that has corroded all the way through
  • Wear across the entire surface, which needs re-enamelling

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Acrylic

Acrylic baths are moulded sheet reinforced underneath. They don’t rust, but they can crack, scratch or be holed, and a crack only stays repaired if it’s supported underneath.

Pressed steel

Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.

Common questions in B91

Is there a guarantee?

Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Is a bath repair durable?

Yes, if it’s prepared properly and the bath is sound. It carries our one-year guarantee.

Is a cracked acrylic bath repairable?

In most cases. The back of the crack is strengthened before the front is filled and refinished, so access behind the panel is important.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.

When can you do it?

Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
