About bath repair in BD21

Chips, cracks, rust spots and small holes is repaired in place. There is no plumbing to disconnect, the tiles aren’t touched, and the finish is matched to the rest of the bath. Our technicians work on cast iron enamel, pressed steel enamel and whirlpool & spa baths, and people most frequently call us about rust spots around the plughole and chips on the rim or sides.

On the day, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job typically takes two to three hours for most chips. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.

First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
The chip or crack is filled, then sanded level with the bath.
We mix the colour on the day to match your bath’s exact shade.
Finish coats go on, then the repair is polished to blend in.
The repair is left to cure, and most baths can be used the following day.

How we price bath repair

Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:

Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book, with nothing added on the day.

Quotes from your pictures

Phone photos are fine. Ensure they show:

A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
A close-up of the damage, in focus
Natural light rather than flash
Details of any past repairs

Should you replace it?

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.

Work for landlords and builders

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.

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

When a repair is not the answer

We will not take on work that won’t last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:

Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we can’t get to from below
Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
Metal that has corroded all the way through

How to care for the repair

So the finish stays in good condition for years:

Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
Make sure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot

Leave the repair to cure for as long as we say before using the bath. From then on, mild cleaning is all it needs.

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.

BD21: your questions answered

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

Will the repair show?

The goal is a repair that blends in. The rest of the bath’s condition makes a difference, and we’ll tell you what to expect.

Can tenants book a repair?

We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

Is a cracked acrylic bath repairable?

Typically, yes, if we can reach the underside to reinforce it. Check under the bath panel, or send us a picture.

Will the price change on the day?

We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

Can you repair a failed DIY repair?

Yes. We take out the old repair and do it properly. Tell us about it when you send pictures.

Are you a vetted contractor?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
