How bath repair works in DY9

We repair just the damaged spot and colour-match it to the bath, which costs far less than replacing a fitted bath. Most baths can be used again the next day. Our technicians work on roll-top & freestanding, pressed steel enamel and whirlpool & spa baths, and the jobs we see most are holes from dropped items and rust spots around the plughole.

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you know when to expect us. On site, it takes a few hours, depending on the damage. We leave the room clean and ready to use once it has cured.

  1. We clean the area and remove any loose enamel or rust.
  2. Next we fill the damage and sand it smooth and level.
  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. Once it has cured, typically by the next day, the bath is ready to use.

What affects the price in DY9

Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:

  • What the surface is made of
  • How much damage there is
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Unusual colours or finishes

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book, with no extras added later.

How to get a fixed quote

The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Any details about the material

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos using our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

Repairing versus replacing

Cast iron baths especially are worth keeping: they’re very heavy to remove, especially upstairs, and replacing like for like isn’t cheap. A repair keeps it in place.

Aftercare tips

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
  • Don’t leave a fresh chip for long
  • Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
  • Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby

Use gentle, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy items on the repaired area. Get any new chip seen to quickly, before rust can start.

Until we visit, a strip of waterproof tape over the damage helps, so water can’t get in. Take it off before we arrive.

Work for landlords and builders

Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

For anyone letting property in or around DY9, we will quote for several properties at once. Just send pictures for each address and we’ll come back with a combined price.

Repairs by material

Cast iron

Cast iron is heavy and rigid, finished with fired enamel. A chip down to the iron can rust, but the body of the bath lasts a very long time, which makes it well worth repairing.

Pressed steel

Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.

Your questions about bath repair in DY9

Are there extra charges for DY9?

We don’t add a call-out fee. Your fixed quote includes everything.

Is there any odour?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.

Do you repair coloured baths?

Yes, we match coloured baths too. We tint the finish to your bath on site.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

We look at the photos and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.

Can you repair a failed DIY repair?

Yes, we do this often. We strip it out, deal with any rust and repair it again.

Will the repair last?

Yes, if it’s prepared properly and the bath is sound. It’s covered by our one-year guarantee.
