Bath repair across EH6: what to expect

Whatever has happened to the bath, we aim for the same result: a smooth, solid repair that blends in. Proper preparation, careful filling and shaping, then colour and gloss matching so it’s level with the surrounding surface. We are frequently asked to fix chips on the rim or sides and hairline or through cracks in acrylic, in pressed steel enamel, cast iron enamel and whirlpool & spa baths.

There’s not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll take it from there. The job generally runs to two to three hours for most chips, tidy-up included.

  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. The colour is mixed on the spot to match your bath.
  4. We build up the finish and polish it into the surrounding enamel.
  5. Once it has cured, typically by the following day, the bath is ready to use.

Why repair rather than replace?

Many people think a damaged bath means a new one. Typically it doesn’t: a repair keeps the bath in service for years, and costs far less than the disruption of a replacement.

What your quote should include

  • How soon you can use it again
  • What prep work is covered
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • Whether a trained technician does the job

Work for landlords and builders

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Keeping it looking good

A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:

  • Rinse it down after each bath
  • Don’t leave a fresh chip for long
  • A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
  • Store metal items away from the bath

Use gentle, non-abrasive cleaners and try not to drop heavy bottles on the repair. Get any new chip seen to quickly, before rust can start.

Small chips are quick to repair. Leave them and they collect dirt, stain and, on metal baths, rust, so early repair saves time and money.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Cast iron

Cast iron is heavy and rigid, with a fused enamel surface. Chips can rust if left, but the body of the bath lasts a very long time, which makes it well worth repairing.

Composite and resin

Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, just like other baths.

Common problems we fix in EH6

Damage during fitting is very common. Tools, tiles and fittings get dropped into the bath, often before anyone notices. Snagging repairs like these are a regular job for us.

If you can see any of these, send us a picture:

  • Damage beneath the taps
  • Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
  • Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
  • Chips on the rim or sides
