Our bath repair service in EH21

Whether your bath is steel, cast iron or acrylic, we can repair it. The method changes with the material: metal baths need any rust dealt with first, and acrylic cracks need support from behind. We’re often asked to fix a cracked acrylic bath and rust by the waste and overflow, on cast iron enamel, roll-top & freestanding and pressed steel enamel.

The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can carry on at home. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes two to three hours for most chips. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
  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 apply the finish coats and polish the repair so it blends in.
  5. We leave it to cure; you can generally use the bath the following day.

How we price bath repair

Repairs from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • How many areas need work
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before booking.

Getting a price from pictures

Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Details of any past repairs

To get a price, send two or three pictures using our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

Repair or replace?

If the rest of the bath is in good condition, a repair is almost always the better choice. It costs less, takes less time and causes far less upheaval, and you keep the bath you chose. If the whole surface is worn, re-enamelling may make more sense, and we’ll tell you.

Landlord and trade work in EH21

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in EH21 use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

When we would advise against a repair

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • Wear across the whole surface, which needs re-enamelling
  • Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
  • A steel bath rusted through

Aftercare tips

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:

  • Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
  • Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
  • Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
  • A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early

Give the repair the full curing time we recommend before using the bath. From then on, mild cleaning is all it needs.

If an acrylic bath has a crack, stop showering in it until it’s repaired. Every use opens the crack a little more, and it can start to leak underneath.

EH21 questions

Generally. Send us a photo of the hole and one from under the bath if you can.

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

How quickly can you book me in?

Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Can you repair a failed DIY repair?

Yes. We take out the old repair and do it properly. Mention it when you send pictures.

What happens after I send photos?
