How bath repair works in CF83

Bath repair is our most common job. A chip by the taps, a crack in the base and a rust spot by the plughole are all fixed without removing the bath, normally in a single visit. Our repair technicians work on pressed steel enamel, acrylic and roll-top & freestanding, and common reasons people contact us are rusty patches near the plughole and a hole punched through by something heavy.

When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take a few hours, depending on the damage. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
  2. We clean, key and degrease the damage, and any rust is treated.
  3. Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
  4. We match both the colour and the shine.
  5. We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the next day.

Keeping it looking good

It’s all simple stuff:

  • Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
  • Don’t scrub with anything abrasive
  • Make sure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
  • Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth

Use gentle, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy items on the repaired area. Deal with new chips early, before rust sets in.

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.

When a repair isn’t the answer

A repair is not right for every job, for example:

  • Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
  • A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
  • Acrylic cracks with no access behind them

How the damage happens

A cracked acrylic bath usually wasn’t supported properly. Loose legs, no proper cradle or a floor that gives let the bath move until the acrylic gives way.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

  • Chips along the edge of the bath
  • Impact holes in acrylic
  • Deep scratches in acrylic
  • Snagging damage from a refit

What bath repair costs

Repairs from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:

  • How many areas need work
  • Access to the area
  • The colour and finish to match
  • What kind of damage it is

Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for CF83. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

How to get a fixed quote

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • A photo taken from further back
  • What it’s made of, if you know

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and no obligation.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
