About bath repair in CH47

Whether your bath is steel, cast iron or acrylic, we can repair it. The method changes with the material: metal baths need any rust dealt with first, and acrylic cracks need support from behind. We are often asked to fix chips under the taps and a chipped rim or side, across roll-top & freestanding, acrylic and pressed steel enamel.

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and get going once we’ve agreed what we are doing. It normally takes a morning or an afternoon, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. First, we check the damage against your photos and agree the plan.
  2. Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
  3. We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
  4. The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
  5. Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.

Cost

Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

How to look after the repair

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

  • Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
  • Give the bath a quick rinse after use
  • Don’t leave a fresh chip for long
  • Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth

Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and try not to drop heavy bottles on the repair. Deal with new chips early, before rust sets in.

A small chip is a quick job. Left alone, they stain and can rust, so it’s worth getting them done early.

What bath repair costs

Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Access to the area

A repair typically costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Getting a price from pictures

We price nearly every job from photos. This is what to send:

  • Any details about the material
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Work for landlords and builders

Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

If you manage property in CH47, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send photos for each address and we will price them together.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Signs you need bath repair

Rust usually starts where water sits, by the plughole, beneath dripping taps or in an unrepaired chip. Once water reaches the steel or iron, rust spreads under the enamel.

Clients usually contact us about:

  • Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
  • A kit repair that didn’t last
  • Rusty patches near the plughole
  • Scratches you can feel with a fingernail

CH47: your questions answered

How invisible is a bath repair?

We aim for a repair you can’t easily find. The rest of the bath’s condition makes a difference.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Generally, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so let us know about it.

Do the materials smell?

Expect a mild smell while we’re working that clears as it cures.

Are you accredited?

We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

Is it messy?

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

Are there extra charges for CH47?

We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
