How bath repair works in CV13

We see every kind of bath damage: dropped-bottle chips, plughole rust, acrylic cracks and impact holes. All of it is repaired where the bath stands. Common call-outs are for holes from dropped items and a kit repair that didn’t last, on cast iron enamel, pressed steel enamel and acrylic.

We begin by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we are doing. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. It normally takes two to three hours for most chips, and we will tell you if anything changes.

  1. We clean the area and remove any loose enamel or rust.
  2. Next we fill the damage and sand it smooth and level.
  3. The colour is mixed on the spot to match your bath.
  4. We apply the finish coats and polish the repair so it blends in.
  5. Once it has cured, typically by the following day, the bath is ready to use.

Cost

Our bath repair starts from £95. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Aftercare tips

Looking after the surface is easy:

  • Don’t scrub with anything abrasive
  • Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
  • Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
  • Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby

Keep metal objects like razors and cans off the surface, because they can mark the enamel. A dripping tap should be fixed early, too.

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

How the damage happens

The usual cause is something heavy dropped into the bath, and a lot happen during bathroom refits. Cracks in acrylic have a different cause: the bath isn’t properly supported, so it flexes under weight.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • Rusty patches near the plughole
  • A chipped rim or side
  • Cracks in an acrylic bath
  • Damage beneath the taps

Can I fix it myself?

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, then guarantee it for a year.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.

When we’d advise against a repair

Not everything can be repaired, and we will tell you before we start. Repairs will not solve:

  • A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
  • Metal that has corroded all the way through
  • A whole bath that is dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
