Bath repair across DN21: what to expect

Whether your bath is steel, cast iron or acrylic, we can repair it. Each material is repaired a little differently: metal baths need any rust dealt with first, and acrylic cracks need support from behind. Our technicians work on acrylic, roll-top & freestanding and pressed steel enamel, and people most frequently call us about holes from dropped items and an old repair that has yellowed or come loose.

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which usually takes a few hours, depending on the damage. If anything looks different from your photos, we will talk to you before going ahead.

We start by cleaning the damage and taking out loose enamel and rust.
The chip or crack is filled, then sanded level with the bath.
We tint the finish on the day to suit your bath’s shade of white or colour.
Finish coats go on, then the repair is polished to blend in.
We leave it to cure; you can typically use the bath the next day.

Prices in DN21

How the damage happens

Acrylic baths that crack nearly always have a support problem. Loose legs, no proper cradle or a floor that gives let the bath move until the acrylic gives way.

If you can see any of these, send us a photo:

Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
A kit repair that didn’t last
Chips under the taps
Chips on the rim or sides

How to look after the repair

Nothing complicated is needed:

Store metal items away from the bath
Do not scrub with anything abrasive
A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning

Give the repair the full curing time we recommend before running a bath. After that, gentle cleaning keeps it looking good.

Stop using the bath if a crack lets water through. Leaks under a bath can damage floors and ceilings.

Landlords, agents and businesses in DN21

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

Repairs by material

Composite and resin

Composite baths are dense and solid, and frequently freestanding. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour-matched, just like other baths.

Pressed steel

Pressed steel is thinner and lighter, with an enamel finish like cast iron. Exposed steel rusts fast, particularly by the plughole, so repair chips early.

Should you replace it?

Many people think a damaged bath means a new one. In most cases it does not: a proper repair gives it years more use, and costs far less than the disruption of a replacement.

Common questions in DN21

Can you repair a failed DIY repair?

Yes. We remove the old filler and start again. Mention it when you send pictures.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

What happens next?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote with dates.

Is repairing better than replacing?

In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

Is a cracked acrylic bath repairable?

Most of the time. The back of the crack is strengthened before the front is filled and refinished, so access behind the panel is important.

What does bath repair cost?

Repairs from £95. We give a fixed price from your pictures. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your DN21 postcode.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders in DN21.
