How bath repair works in EH3

We see every kind of bath damage: dropped-bottle chips, plughole rust, acrylic cracks and impact holes. All of it is repaired where the bath stands with a one-year guarantee. We work on cast iron enamel, whirlpool & spa baths and roll-top & freestanding, and the jobs we see most are deep scratches in acrylic and cracks in an acrylic bath.

Here’s how a visit typically runs: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and tidy away. Allow a few hours from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. We clean the area and remove any loose enamel or rust.
  2. The chip or crack is filled, then sanded level with the bath.
  3. The colour is mixed on the spot to match your bath.
  4. We apply the finish coats and polish the repair so it blends in.
  5. The repair is left to cure, and most baths can be used the following day.

Landlords, agents and businesses in EH3

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.

Common problems we fix in EH3

Acrylic baths that crack nearly always have a support problem. Legs that are not adjusted, a missing cradle or a soft floor let the base flex.

The things customers generally mention when they call are:

  • Chips on the rim or sides
  • Snagging damage from a refit
  • Impact holes in acrylic
  • A chip where the taps sit

What affects the price in EH3

Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from photos. These are the things that affect it:

  • Access to the area
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for EH3. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Quotes from your pictures

Phone photos are fine. Just ensure we can see:

  • A wider photo showing the whole bath
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

Most customers in EH3 get their price from photos. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Repairing versus replacing

A repair makes sense whenever the damage is localised. It’s a fraction of the cost of a new bath and fitting, it’s done in one visit, and nothing else in the room changes.

Comparing quotes

  • If travel is included in the price
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • How soon you can use it again
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price

EH3 questions

I tried a repair kit. Can you fix it?

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

Can landlords book you?

Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Do you charge for travel?

There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.

Is it messy?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.

What happens if you find more damage?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

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

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.
