Bath repair at your home in BR1

Bath repair is our most common job. A chip by the taps, a crack in the base and a rust spot by the plughole are all fixed without removing the bath, normally in one visit. Typical jobs include chips on the rim or sides and a chip where the taps sit, on acrylic, cast iron enamel and roll-top & freestanding.

Arrival times are agreed in advance. On site, it takes a few hours, depending on the damage. The room is left tidy.

  1. First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
  2. We fill the damage and sand it flush with the surrounding surface.
  3. We tint the finish on the day to suit your bath’s shade of white or colour.
  4. Finish coats go on, then the repair is polished to blend in.
  5. Once it has cured, typically by the following day, the bath is ready to use.

What you’ll pay

Our bath repair starts from £95. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

How to care for the repair

So the finish stays in good condition:

  • Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
  • Ensure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
  • Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
  • Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath

A repaired bath needs no special treatment. Avoid bleach-based and gritty cleaners and give it a rinse after each bath.

Rust under enamel spreads surprisingly quickly. A chip the size of a fingernail can become a much larger patch if it’s left for months, so early repair keeps the cost down.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

How we price bath repair

Repairs from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • The colour and finish to match
  • The material and finish
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A wider photo showing the whole bath
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

For a price in BR1, the easiest route is photos: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

When we’d advise against a repair

In fairness, some problems need a different fix:

  • Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
  • A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
  • Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we can’t get to from below

Why repair rather than replace?

A repair makes sense whenever the damage is localised. It’s a fraction of the cost of a new bath and fitting, it’s done in one visit, and the bathroom stays exactly as it is.

BR1: your questions answered

Is there any odour?

There can be some smell while we work. It clears as the materials cure.

Are there extra charges for BR1?

Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

What happens after I send pictures?

We review the pictures and send a fixed quote with dates.

Can you quote from photos?

Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.

How soon can you come?

That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
