About bath repair in DE56

Repairing baths is what we do most. A chip by the taps, a crack in the base and a rust spot by the plughole are all repaired in place, normally in one visit. We regularly repair whirlpool & spa baths, roll-top & freestanding and acrylic, and common reasons people contact us are damage beneath the taps and chips on the rim or sides.

We work cleanly and quietly, so you can stay at home while we’re there. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes two to three hours for most chips. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to look after it.

  1. First, we check the damage against your pictures and agree the plan.
  2. Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
  3. The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
  4. The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
  5. The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.

Prices in DE56

Our bath repair starts from £95. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Work for landlords and builders

Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we will handle the rest.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to DE56. The price comes down to:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • The colour and finish to match
  • What the surface is made of
  • The size and number of damaged areas

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

You can take the pictures on your phone. Just ensure we can see:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

To get a price, send two or three photos through our quote form or call us. We’ll say straight away whether it can be repaired.

Why repair rather than replace?

If the rest of the bath is in good condition, a repair is almost always the better choice. It’s quicker, cheaper and far less disruptive, and you keep the bath you chose. Where the entire surface is tired, we may suggest re-enamelling instead.

What your quote should include

  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • If travel is included in the price
  • How to care for the finish
  • How the colour is matched

DIY repairs versus a professional job

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, it’s worth having it done properly.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Pressed steel

Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.

Cast iron

Cast iron is heavy and rigid, with a fused enamel surface. A chip down to the iron can rust, but the body of the bath lasts a very long time, so it’s always worth repairing.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just make sure the landlord agrees.

Do you charge for travel?
