How bath repair works in CF43

A typical bath repair is a few hours’ work, and you can generally bathe again the day after. There’s no need to book a plumber or tiler, because the bath doesn’t move. Our repair technicians work on whirlpool & spa baths, cast iron enamel and roll-top & freestanding, and common reasons people get in touch are a kit repair that didn’t last and deep scratches in acrylic.

On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take a morning or an afternoon. We clean up when we’re done and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. We protect the bath and the floor around it.
  2. The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased, and any rust is treated.
  3. We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
  4. We match both the colour and the shine.
  5. We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, typically the following day.

Repairs by material

Cast iron

A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that is the part we put right.

Composite and resin

Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour matched, just like other baths.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

What bath repair costs

Repairs from £95. There’s no charge for travel to CF43. The price comes down to:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • What the surface is made of
  • How hard the colour is to match

Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for CF43. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

How to get a fixed quote

Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:

  • The material, if you know it
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • A photo taken from further back

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole bath, we can price the job.

Repairing versus replacing

Cast iron baths in particular are worth repairing: they’re very heavy to remove, especially upstairs, and a like-for-like replacement can be expensive. A repair keeps it in place.

What your quote should include

  • How long it needs to cure
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • Aftercare advice

What we’re called out for in CF43

Many chips happen while the bathroom is being fitted. Tools, tiles and fittings get dropped into the bath, and the damage isn’t always spotted until later. Snagging repairs like these are a regular job for us.

Get in touch if you’ve noticed:

  • An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
  • Chips on the rim or sides
  • Rusty patches near the plughole
  • Snagging damage from a refit

CF43: your questions answered

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.

Something went through my bath. Can it be fixed?

In most cases. Send us a photo of the hole and one from under the bath if you can.

Do I have to be there?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.

Do you cover CF43?

Yes. We cover the entire UK and come to CF43. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Will it make a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.

Can you fix rust around the plughole?

Yes. We remove the rust and loose enamel, seal and fill the area, then colour-match the finish.

What do you need from me?

Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787.
