Surface repairs across CM15

Bath repair at your home in CM15

You don’t need a new bath because of a chip. Our repair technicians fill, shape and refinish the damage, mixing the colour on the day so the repair is hard to spot. We regularly repair acrylic, pressed steel enamel and roll-top & freestanding, and common reasons people contact us are chips under the taps and chips caused by builders.

You don’t need to empty the room. 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 morning or an afternoon, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.

  1. Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
  2. We clean, key and degrease the damage.
  3. Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
  4. We match both the colour and the shine.
  5. We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, generally the following day.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.

What affects the price in CM15

Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • What the surface is made of
  • Doing more than one item at once

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Send photos for a quote

When you take your pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • One picture of the whole bath
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

To get a price, send a couple of pictures through our quote form or call us. We’ll say right away whether it can be repaired.

Looking after it afterwards

Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:

  • Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
  • Don’t scrub with anything abrasive
  • If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
  • Put a towel in the bath if you are working above it

Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy items on the repaired area. Get any new chip seen to quickly, before rust sets in.

Until we visit, a strip of waterproof tape over the damage helps, so water can’t get in. Take it off before we arrive.

Signs you need bath repair

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.

Most people contact us after spotting one of these:

  • Rusty patches near the plughole
  • Impact holes in acrylic
  • A chipped rim or side
  • Deep scratches in acrylic

Repair or replace?

Cast iron baths in particular are worth repairing: getting one out, particularly from an upstairs bathroom, is a big job, and replacing like for like isn’t cheap. A repair keeps it in place.

Questions to ask before you book

  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • When it can be used again
  • What aftercare is recommended
