Bath and surface repairs in CA16

Bath repair across CA16: what to expect

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. Our technicians work on roll-top & freestanding, cast iron enamel and pressed steel enamel, and the jobs we see most are damage done while the bathroom was being fitted and an old repair that has yellowed or come loose.

We agree an arrival time beforehand. Once we are there, the work takes a few hours. We leave the room clean and you will know when it can be used.

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, usually the day after.

Looking after it afterwards

Nothing complicated is needed:

• Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
• Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
• Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
• Store metal items away from the bath

Keep metal objects like razors and cans off the surface, because they can mark the enamel. And fix dripping taps promptly.

Stop using the bath if a crack lets water through. Leaks under a bath can damage floors and ceilings.

What bath repair costs

Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including CA16. What changes the price is:

• What the surface is made of
• How hard the colour is to match
• Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
• How much damage there is

There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Getting a price from photos

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

• A close-up of the damage, in focus
• Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
• A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
• Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
