Bath and surface repairs in BH18

Bath repair at your home in BH18

A typical bath repair is a few hours’ work, and the bath is back in use the day after. There is no need to book a plumber or tiler, because nothing is disconnected. Common call-outs are for a hole punched through by something heavy and an old repair that has yellowed or come loose, in whirlpool & spa baths, acrylic and cast iron enamel.

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a morning or an afternoon. If anything looks different from your photos, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.

1. We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
2. Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
3. We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
4. The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
5. The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.

Looking after it afterwards

To keep it looking its best for years:

• Store metal items away from the bath
• Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
• Check that an acrylic bath does not move when you stand in it
• A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early

Use gentle, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy items on the repaired area. Get any new chip seen to quickly, before rust sets in.

Rust under enamel spreads surprisingly quickly. Left for months, a small chip can grow into a large rust patch, so early repair keeps the cost down.
