Bath and surface repairs in EH12

How bath repair works in EH12

Most bath damage, from chips and cracks to rust spots and holes, is repaired in place. Nothing is unplumbed, your tiles stay as they are, and the repaired area is colour matched so it blends in. Our repair technicians work on roll-top & freestanding, whirlpool & spa baths and cast iron enamel, and common reasons people get in touch are rust by the waste and overflow and cracks in an acrylic bath.

On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we will get on with it. Most visits take a few hours, tidy-up included.

1. First, we check the damage against your photos and agree the plan.
2. Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
3. The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
4. We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
5. The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.

Cost

Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.

How to care for the repair

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:

• Put a towel in the bath if you are working above it
• Rinse it down after each bath
• Do not leave razors or cans standing in the bath
• Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners

There is nothing special to do after a repair, beyond gentle cleaning. Avoid bleach-based and gritty cleaners and rinse after use.

Avoid standing in a cracked acrylic bath until it’s fixed. Every use opens the crack a little more, and water can get through to the floor below.

How we price bath repair

Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. The main factors are:

• How easy the damage is to reach
• Any earlier repairs that need removing first
• The type of damage
• How many items we do on one visit

Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for EH12. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Quotes from your photos

Phone pictures are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Just make sure we can see:

• What it’s made of, if you know
• A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
• A clear, close picture of the problem area
• The postcode, so we can plan the visit
