How bath repair works in BB2

We’ve repaired just about every kind of bath damage: chips from dropped bottles, rust round the plughole, cracks in acrylic and holes from falling tools. All of it is repaired where the bath stands with a one-year guarantee. Common call-outs are for a failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting and damage done while the bathroom was being fitted, on cast iron enamel, whirlpool & spa baths and roll-top & freestanding.

There’s not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will take it from there. The job generally runs to two to three hours for most chips.

  1. Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
  2. We clean, key and degrease the damage, and any rust is treated.
  3. Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
  4. We match both the colour and the shine.
  5. We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, typically the next day.

What it costs in BB2

Our bath repair starts from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

What we are called out for in BB2

Most bath damage comes from something dropped: bottles, shower heads, tiles and tools. On steel and cast iron baths, any chip down to the metal lets water in, and rust follows.

Common reasons people in BB2 contact us include:

  • Impact holes in acrylic
  • Rust by the waste and overflow
  • A kit repair that didn’t last
  • Scratches you can feel with a fingernail

Work for landlords and builders

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, 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.

When we would advise against a repair

We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair will not do:

  • A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
  • Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
  • Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet

Should you replace it?

Replacing a fitted bath generally means a plumber, lifting out the old bath, making good the tiles and panel and disposing of the old one. Repairing it fixes just the damaged area in a single visit.

What your quote should include

  • How to look after the finish
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • What prep work is covered

Keeping it looking good

Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:

  • Rinse it down after each bath
  • Store metal items away from the bath
  • Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
  • Check that an acrylic bath does not move when you stand in it

Treat the repaired area like the rest of the bath: warm water, washing-up liquid and a soft cloth. Avoid scourers and gritty cream cleaners.

Rust under enamel spreads surprisingly quickly. Left for months, a small chip can grow into a large rust patch, so it pays to deal with it early.
