About bath repair in BS16

A typical bath repair is a few hours’ work, and the bath is back in use the day after. There’s no need to book a plumber or tiler, because nothing is disconnected. Our repair technicians work on whirlpool & spa baths, pressed steel enamel and roll-top & freestanding, and the jobs we see most are a cracked acrylic bath and chips on the rim or sides.

From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes a few hours, depending on the damage, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. We protect the bath and the floor around it.
  2. We clean, key and degrease the damage.
  3. We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
  4. Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
  5. We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the next day.

When a repair isn’t the answer

It helps to know what we can’t do too:

  • A steel bath rusted through
  • Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
  • Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we can’t get to from below

Aftercare tips

It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:

  • Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
  • Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
  • Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
  • Keep metal cans and razors off the surface

Use gentle, non-abrasive cleaners and try not to drop heavy bottles on the repair. Deal with new chips early, before rust sets in.

If water is getting through a crack, stop using the bath until it’s repaired. Water under the bath can damage the floor and the ceiling below.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that’s what we repair.

Acrylic

Acrylic baths are moulded sheet reinforced underneath. There is no rust, but cracks, holes and scratches happen, and a crack only stays repaired if it’s supported underneath.

How we price bath repair

Repairs from £95. There is no charge for travel to BS16. The price depends on:

  • How many areas need work
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • The type of damage
  • Whether we combine several jobs

The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.

Getting a price from photos

We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what we need:

  • A wider photo showing the entire bath
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

Email us photos of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your BS16 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

Repair or replace?

If the rest of the bath is in good condition, a repair is almost always the better choice. It’s quicker, cheaper and far less disruptive, and the bathroom stays as it is. Where the whole surface is tired, we may suggest re-enamelling instead.

BS16 questions

Do you come to BS16?

Yes, we do. We send a technician to BS16 for every job, with no extra charge for travel.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.

Is my repair covered?

Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

How invisible is a bath repair?

The goal is a repair that blends in. The rest of the bath’s condition makes a difference.

Can you match an avocado or pink bath?

Yes, coloured baths are no problem. We tint the finish to your bath on site.
