How bath repair works in EH49

A repair fixes just the damaged area and blends it into the rest of the bath, which is far cheaper than replacing a fitted bath. You can typically use the bath the next day. Common call-outs are for chips along the edge of the bath and hairline or through cracks in acrylic, on roll-top & freestanding, acrylic and cast iron enamel.

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and tidy away. Allow two to three hours for most chips. Before we go, we will explain how long to leave it and how to care for it.

  1. We protect the bath and the floor around it.
  2. The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased, and any rust is treated.
  3. Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
  4. Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
  5. We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, generally the day after.

What you will pay

Our bath repair starts from £95. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.

Aftercare tips

To keep it looking its best:

  • A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
  • Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
  • Check that an acrylic bath does not move when you stand in it
  • Don’t leave razors or cans standing in the bath

For the first few days, keep heavy bottles off the repaired spot. After that, clean it as you would the rest of the bath.

Rust under enamel spreads surprisingly quickly. A chip the size of a fingernail can become a much larger patch if it’s left for months, so early repair keeps the cost down.

Different materials, different repairs

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are thick and very strong, with a fused enamel surface. Chips can rust if left, but the body of the bath lasts a very long time, so it’s always worth repairing.

Pressed steel

Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.

What a repair cannot fix

We will not take on work that will not last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:

  • A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
  • A whole bath that’s dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
  • Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath

Repairing versus replacing

A new bath costs more than the bath itself: removal and disposal, plumbing, a new panel, tiling and decorating. A repair is one job, done in one visit.

Common questions in EH49

Is a bath repair permanent?

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

How do I book?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

Can a cracked acrylic bath be fixed?

In most cases. We reinforce the crack from behind, then fill and refinish the front, so access behind the panel is important.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.

What areas do you cover?

Everywhere in the UK, EH49 included. Travel is included in the price.

Is a holed acrylic bath repairable?

Usually. Send us a picture of the hole and one from under the bath if you can.

Do you repair coloured baths?

Yes. The colour is mixed on site to suit your bath, including pastel and older colours.
