Bath repair at your home in CA10

You do not need a new bath because of a chip. We fill the damage, shape it to the curve of the bath and refinish it, with the colour mixed on site so the repair is hard to spot. Typical jobs include an old repair that has yellowed or come loose and a cracked acrylic bath, on roll-top & freestanding, whirlpool & spa baths and acrylic.

We begin by going over the job with you. After that, protection goes down around the work area and the work begins. Allow two to three hours for most chips.

  1. Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
  2. The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased.
  3. We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
  4. Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
  5. We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, typically the next day.

Cost

Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

How to look after the repair

Looking after the surface is easy:

  • Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
  • Do not leave a fresh chip for long
  • Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
  • Check that an acrylic bath does not move when you stand in it

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

Avoid standing in a cracked acrylic bath until it’s fixed. Every use opens the crack a little more, and it can start to leak underneath.

Different materials, different repairs

Pressed steel

Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

How the damage happens

Most bath damage comes from something dropped: bottles, shower heads, tiles and tools. On steel and cast iron baths, a chip that reaches the metal will start to rust.

Contact us if you’ve noticed any of these:

  • Holes from dropped items
  • Damage beneath the taps
  • A chipped rim or side
  • Cracks in an acrylic bath

What a repair cannot fix

We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:

  • Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
  • Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
  • Metal that has corroded all the way through

Common questions in CA10

Is there a call-out fee?

No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Will the repair last?

A properly prepared repair should last a long time, and it’s guaranteed for a year. Gentle cleaning helps.

Can you repair a crack in an acrylic bath?

Most of the time. The back of the crack is strengthened before the front is filled and refinished, so access behind the panel is important.
