Bath and surface repairs in CV7

About bath repair in CV7

Small damage on a bath is worth repairing early. Exposed metal on enamelled baths soon rusts, while cracks in acrylic grow each time the bath moves. A repair stops both. We’re often asked to fix chips on the rim or sides and damage beneath the taps, on cast iron enamel, acrylic and whirlpool & spa baths.

Here’s how a visit generally runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and clear up. Allow a few hours, depending on the damage. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and how to look after it.

1. We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
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. We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
5. Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.

Aftercare tips

To keep it looking its best:

• Do not leave razors or cans standing in the bath
• Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
• Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
• Have new chips seen to early

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

If an acrylic bath has a crack, stop showering in it until it’s repaired. Each time it flexes, the crack grows, and water can get through to the floor below.

What affects the price in CV7

Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from photos. These are the things that affect it:

• What the surface is made of
• Access to the area
• The type of damage
• How many items we do on one visit

No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Quotes from your photos

Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To help us price it:

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