Surface repairs across CA19

How bath repair works in CA19

Chips, cracks, rust spots and small holes is repaired in place. Nothing is unplumbed, the tiles are not touched, and the repaired area is colour-matched so it blends in. We’re frequently asked to fix chips on the rim or sides and chips caused by builders, across roll-top & freestanding, cast iron enamel and acrylic.

The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can stay at home while we’re there. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a few hours, depending on the damage. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. We clean the area and remove any loose enamel or rust.
  2. We fill the damage and sand it flush with the surrounding surface.
  3. The colour is mixed on the spot to match your bath.
  4. We build up the finish and polish it into the surrounding enamel.
  5. Once it has cured, typically by the day after, the bath is ready to use.

What you’ll pay

Our bath repair starts from £95. Compared with replacing, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

How the damage happens

Acrylic baths that crack nearly always have a support problem. Loose legs, no proper cradle or a floor that gives let the base flex.

Common reasons people in CA19 contact us include:

  • A chipped rim or side
  • Rust by the waste and overflow
  • Deep scratches in acrylic
  • Impact holes in acrylic

Keeping it looking good

A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:

  • Do not leave razors or cans standing in the bath
  • Check that an acrylic bath doesn’t move when you stand in it
  • Have new chips seen to early
  • Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby

There is nothing special to do after a repair, beyond gentle cleaning. Skip bleach and gritty creams and rinse after use.

Small chips are quick to repair. Left alone, they stain and can rust, so it’s worth getting them done early.

Repairing versus replacing

People frequently assume a cracked or chipped bath has to come out. Typically it doesn’t: a proper repair gives it years more use, without the cost and upheaval of replacing it.

What your quote should include

  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • If travel is included in the price
  • What aftercare is recommended
  • How long it needs to cure

What affects the price in CA19

Repairs from £95. You’ll know the full cost before booking. We take into account:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • What the surface is made of
  • The type of damage
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

A repair generally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.

Getting a price from pictures

You can typically get a fixed price without us visiting. To make it quick:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • A photo taken from further back
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

Honest limits

A repair is not always the answer, and we will tell you before we start. Repairs won’t solve:

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