Bath repair across CB2: what to expect

We’ve repaired just about every kind of bath damage: chips from dropped bottles, rust round the plughole, cracks in acrylic and holes from falling tools. Each is repaired in place with a one-year guarantee. Our repair technicians work on pressed steel enamel, cast iron enamel and roll-top & freestanding, and people most often call us about a chipped rim or side and a hole punched through by something heavy.

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and start once you’re happy with the plan. Most jobs take a few hours, depending on the damage, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. We start by cleaning the damage and taking out loose enamel and rust.
  2. The chip or crack is filled, then sanded level with the bath.
  3. The colour is mixed on the spot to match your bath.
  4. We apply the finish coats and polish the repair so it blends in.
  5. The repair is left to cure, and most baths can be used the day after.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Acrylic

An acrylic bath is a moulded sheet strengthened from below. There is no rust, but cracks, holes and scratches happen, and cracks need support from behind to stay fixed.

Cast iron

Cast iron is heavy and rigid, finished with fired enamel. A chip down to the iron can rust, but the bath itself lasts for generations, which makes it well worth repairing.

What a repair can’t fix

It helps to know what we cannot do too:

  • A steel bath rusted through
  • Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
  • Acrylic cracks with no access behind them

Common problems we fix in CB2

Rust tends to begin where water collects, by the plughole, beneath dripping taps or in an unrepaired chip. Water on bare metal causes rust that creeps under the surrounding enamel.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

  • A cracked acrylic bath
  • Scuffs and scratches in the surface
  • Holes from dropped items
  • Snagging damage from a refit

For landlords and businesses

If you manage property in CB2, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send photos for each one and we’ll price them together.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in CB2 as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it normally costs far less than a refit.

Aftercare tips

Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:

  • Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
  • Don’t leave razors or cans standing in the bath
  • Have new chips seen to early
  • Put a towel in the bath if you’re working above it

Give the repair the full curing time we recommend before using the bath. After that, gentle cleaning keeps it looking good.

Tape over a fresh chip or crack until it’s repaired, to keep water out. Take it off before we arrive.

FAQs for CB2

What happens if you find more damage?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.

Are there extra charges for CB2?

We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.

Is a repair better than a new one?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

Will the repair last?

Done properly, a repair lasts for years, and it’s guaranteed for a year. Gentle cleaning helps it last.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners in CB2.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Of course, and it generally saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and you will get one combined price.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
