Bath and surface repairs in EH11

Our bath repair service in EH11

Bath repair is our most common job. A chip by the taps, a crack in the base and a rust spot by the plughole are all repaired in place, generally in a single visit. We regularly repair whirlpool & spa baths, acrylic and pressed steel enamel, and people most frequently call us about scratches you can feel with a fingernail and chips along the edge of the bath.

When we visit, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take two to three hours for most chips. We clean up when we are done and let you know when you can use it again.

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. We tint the finish on the day to suit your bath’s shade of white or colour.
4. We build up the finish and polish it into the surrounding enamel.
5. The repair is left to cure, and most baths can be used the day after.

Cost

Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

What bath repair costs

Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We look at:

• The type of damage
• The colour and finish to match
• Doing more than one item at once
• The material and finish

The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Quotes from your pictures

You can take the photos on your phone, there is no need for anything special. Ensure they show:

• Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
• A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
• A picture taken from further back
• A close-up of the damage, in focus

For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Keeping it looking good

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

• Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
• Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
• Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
• Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale

A repaired bath needs no special treatment, beyond gentle cleaning. Avoid bleach-based and gritty cleaners.

If water is getting through a crack, stop using the bath until it’s repaired. Water under the bath can damage the floor and the ceiling below.
