About bath repair in BS32

Small damage on a bath is worth repairing early. Exposed metal on enamelled baths soon rusts, and on acrylic, a crack keeps spreading while the bath flexes. A repair stops both. Typical jobs include chips caused by builders and a hole punched through by something heavy, on roll-top & freestanding, cast iron enamel and pressed steel enamel.

When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job usually takes a few hours, depending on the damage. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.

We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.

What it costs in BS32

Prices start from £95. We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Aftercare tips

Aftercare is simple:

Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
Give the bath a quick rinse after use
Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
Check that an acrylic bath doesn’t move when you stand in it

A repaired bath needs no special treatment, beyond gentle cleaning. Skip bleach and gritty creams and rinse after use.

Tape over a fresh chip or crack until it’s repaired, so water can’t get in. Take it off before we arrive.

What affects the price in BS32

Prices start from £95. There’s no area surcharge for BS32. The price reflects:

The material and finish
How hard the colour is to match
Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
How easy the damage is to reach

A repair generally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Getting a price from photos

You can normally get a fixed price without us visiting. To help us price it:

Your postcode, so we can check dates
Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
Something in shot to show the size
A wider photo showing the entire bath

For a price in BS32, the easiest route is photos: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

What a repair can’t fix

A repair isn’t right for every job, including:

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

DIY kit or professional repair?

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Composite and resin

Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid, and often freestanding. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, just like other baths.

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are thick and very strong, finished with fired enamel. Chips can rust if left, but the body of the bath lasts a very long time, which makes it well worth repairing.

BS32 questions

Will there be a smell?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.

Can tenants book a repair?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

What does bath repair cost?

Prices start from £95. We give a fixed quote from your photos. Send a close-up and a photo of the entire item and your postcode.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

How quickly can you book me in?

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

How invisible is a bath repair?

On a glossy bath, you will struggle to find it. On older, dull enamel the repair can look glossier than the area around it.
