Our bath repair service in BD2

It pays to repair bath damage while it’s small. On steel and cast iron, exposed metal starts to rust, and on acrylic, a crack keeps spreading while the bath flexes. Repairing it stops the damage getting worse. Our repair technicians work on roll-top & freestanding, pressed steel enamel and whirlpool & spa baths, and people most frequently call us about rust by the waste and overflow and chips under the taps.

Once we are through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes two to three hours for most chips, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
  2. The chip or crack is filled, then sanded level with the bath.
  3. We mix the colour on the day to match your bath’s exact shade.
  4. We build up the finish and polish it into the surrounding enamel.
  5. Once it has cured, generally by the next day, the bath is ready to use.

Landlord and trade work in BD2

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in BD2 use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it generally costs far less than a refit.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.

Keeping it looking good

Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:

  • Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
  • Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
  • Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
  • A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early

A repaired bath needs no special treatment. Skip bleach and gritty creams and give it a rinse after each bath.

Rust spreads under enamel faster than most people expect. Left for months, a small chip can grow into a large rust patch, so it pays to deal with it early.

What bath repair costs

Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:

  • The material
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • How many areas need work

The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking.

Send pictures for a quote

You can take the pictures on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Just ensure we can see:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Any details about the material
  • Details of any past repairs

No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.

Repairing versus replacing

Swapping a damaged bath for a new one normally involves a plumber, removing the old bath, making good the tiles and panel and disposing of the old one. A repair deals only with the damage in a single visit.

Questions to ask before you book

  • Whether the price covers travel
  • How soon you can use it again
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • What preparation is included

BD2: your questions answered

Can you repair a hole in a bath?

Often, if there is access underneath. We back the hole, fill it and refinish the surface.

Do the materials smell?

It depends on the job, but often a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and you’ll get one combined price.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Normally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

What does bath repair cost?

Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You will get a fixed figure before you book.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Most of the time. Tell us what was done before and we’ll plan for it.
