Our bath repair service in DA7

Most of our bath repairs take a few hours, and you can generally bathe again the day after. You won’t need a plumber or tiler, because the bath doesn’t move. We work on roll-top & freestanding, cast iron enamel and whirlpool & spa baths, and common reasons people contact us are a cracked acrylic bath and a chip where the taps sit.

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and clear up. Plan for a few hours from start to finish. Before we go, we’ll explain how long to leave it and how to care for it.

  1. We clean the area and remove any loose enamel or rust.
  2. We fill the damage and sand it flush with the surrounding surface.
  3. The colour is mixed on the spot to match your bath.
  4. Finish coats go on, then the repair is polished to blend in.
  5. We leave it to cure; you can typically use the bath the day after.

  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • No extra charge for your area
  • Colour mixed on the day to match

Getting a price

There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Composite and resin

Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid, and often freestanding. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour matched, in much the same way.

Pressed steel

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

How to look after the repair

Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:

  • Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
  • Give the bath a quick rinse after use
  • Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
  • Do not leave a fresh chip for long

Use gentle, non-abrasive cleaners and try not to drop heavy bottles on the repair. Get any new chip seen to quickly, before rust can start.

If an acrylic bath has a crack, stop showering in it until it’s repaired. Every use opens the crack a little more, and it can start to leak underneath.

How we price bath repair

Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Access to the area
  • The type of damage
  • What the surface is made of

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Getting a price from pictures

We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what to send:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • What it’s made of, if you know

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and no obligation.

DIY kit or professional repair?

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

Repair or replace?

People often assume a cracked or chipped bath has to come out. Generally it does not: a repair keeps the bath in service for years, and costs far less than the disruption of a replacement.

Common questions in DA7

Can you repair a failed DIY repair?

Yes. We take out the old repair and do it properly. Mention it when you send pictures.

Is a bath repair permanent?

It should, as long as the bath is firm and the area was prepared well. It’s covered by our one-year guarantee.

How do I get a price for bath repair in DA7?

Repairs from £95. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You’ll get a fixed figure before you book.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Of course, and it typically saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we will quote them together.

Can you match an avocado or pink bath?

Yes. We mix the colour on the day to match, including older coloured suites.

Is there any odour?

Expect a mild smell while we’re working that clears as it cures.

Is there a guarantee?
