Bath repair at your home in CO15

Whatever the damage, the aim is the same: a smooth, solid repair that blends in. Proper preparation, careful filling and shaping, then colour and gloss matching so it sits flush with the rest of the bath. Typical jobs include rust spots around the plughole and chips caused by builders, on pressed steel enamel, roll-top & freestanding and whirlpool & spa baths.

The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can carry on at home. Protection goes down first, then the work takes two to three hours for most chips. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
  2. Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
  3. We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
  4. We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
  5. The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.

When a repair is not the answer

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
  • A steel bath rusted through
  • Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath

How we price bath repair

Prices start from £95. There is no charge for travel to CO15. The price depends on:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • The size and number of damaged areas

Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

How to get a fixed quote

Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Try to send:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • One picture of the whole bath
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

We price from pictures so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.

For landlords and businesses

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, pictures and access details and we will handle the rest.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Repairs by material

Pressed steel

Steel baths are lighter than cast iron, but have a similar enamel surface. Exposed steel rusts fast, particularly by the plughole, so repair chips early.

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

Looking after it afterwards

It’s all simple stuff:

  • Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
  • Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
  • Give the bath a quick rinse after use
  • Don’t scrub with anything abrasive

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.

Until we visit, a strip of waterproof tape over the damage helps, so water cannot get in. Remove it before the repair.

CO15 questions

Is a repair better than a new one?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.

Do I need to be at home?

We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.

What does bath repair cost?

Prices start from £95. Every job gets a fixed quote based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up and a picture of the entire item with your CO15 postcode.

Can you price it without visiting?

Nearly always. If photos don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

How quickly can you book me in?

Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Do you cover CO15?

Yes. We cover the entire UK and travel to CO15. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Do the materials smell?

Expect a mild smell while we are working.
