Surface repairs across CV32

Bath repair at your home in CV32

We have repaired just about every kind of bath damage: chips from dropped bottles, rust round the plughole, cracks in acrylic and holes from falling tools. Each is repaired in place. Our technicians work on roll-top & freestanding, acrylic and cast iron enamel, and common reasons people get in touch are scuffs and scratches in the surface and rusty patches near the plughole.

Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so there are no surprises. After that, protection goes down around the work area and the work begins. Allow a few hours, and we’ll tell you if anything changes.

  1. We clean the area and remove any loose enamel or rust.
  2. The chip or crack is filled, then sanded level with the bath.
  3. We tint the finish on the day to suit your bath’s shade of white or colour.
  4. We apply the finish coats and polish the repair so it blends in.
  5. Once it has cured, usually by the following day, the bath is ready to use.

Repairs by material

Pressed steel

Steel baths are lighter than cast iron, but have a similar enamel surface. Chips rust quickly on steel, particularly by the plughole, so repair chips early.

Composite and resin

Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, just like other baths.

Signs you need bath repair

Many chips happen while the bathroom is being fitted. Tools, tiles and fittings get dropped into the bath, and the damage is not always spotted until later. We repair snagging damage like this regularly.

Contact us if you’ve noticed any of these:

  • Rust by the waste and overflow
  • Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
  • Impact holes in acrylic
  • Hairline or through cracks in acrylic

Honest limits

In fairness, some problems need a different fix:

  • Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
  • A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
  • Acrylic cracks with no access behind them

Looking after it afterwards

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

  • Rinse it down after each bath
  • Do not leave razors or cans standing in the bath
  • Don’t scrub with anything abrasive
  • Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth

Look after the repair the same way as the bath: a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs. Keep scouring pads and gritty cleaners away from it.

Don’t leave a chip on a steel or cast iron bath. Once water reaches the metal, rust begins, turning a quick repair into a bigger one.

Why repair rather than replace?

A new bath costs more than the bath itself: removal and disposal, plumbing, a new panel, tiling and decorating. With a repair, it’s one visit and one price.
