How bath repair works in CB5

We see every kind of bath damage: dropped-bottle chips, plughole rust, acrylic cracks and impact holes. All of it is repaired where the bath stands. Common call-outs are for a chipped rim or side and rust by the waste and overflow, on roll-top & freestanding, pressed steel enamel and acrylic.

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a morning or an afternoon. If anything looks different from your photos, we will talk to you before going ahead.

First, we check the damage against your pictures and agree the plan.
Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.

Cost

Prices start from £95. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Common problems we fix in CB5

A bath gets knocked about more than you’d think: everyday items get dropped into it all the time, and fittings press hard against the enamel. Sooner or later, most baths pick up a chip.

Snagging damage from a refit
Rusty patches near the plughole
Chips under the taps
A failed DIY repair that is discoloured or lifting

When we’d advise against a repair

Not everything can be repaired, and we’d rather say so up front. We cannot fix:

Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
Metal that has corroded all the way through
A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense

Work for landlords and builders

Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in CB5 as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it generally costs far less than a refit.

What affects the price in CB5

Repairs from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:

Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
How much damage there is
Whether we combine several jobs
Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

Compared with replacing, repairing normally costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Send photos for a quote

Before you send photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:

A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
One sharp close-up of the damage
Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
The material, if you know it

We price from photos so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.

Keeping it looking good

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:

Don’t leave a fresh chip for long
Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning

Treat the repaired area like the rest of the bath: a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs. Avoid scourers and gritty cream cleaners.

If an acrylic bath has a crack, stop showering in it until it’s repaired. Every use opens the crack a little more, and water can get through to the floor below.

Your questions about bath repair in CB5

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

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.

Is it messy?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.

Can you price it without visiting?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.

Do I need to be at home?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.

What happens if you find more damage?

We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

Can you repair a chip on a coloured bath?

Yes, coloured baths are no problem. The colour is tinted by hand on the day.

When can you do it?

Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
