About bath repair in EH95

We repair enamelled steel, cast iron and acrylic baths. The method changes with the material: rust is treated on metal baths, while cracks in acrylic are reinforced from underneath. Common call-outs are for snagging damage from a refit and chips under the taps, in pressed steel enamel, whirlpool & spa baths and cast iron enamel.

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you know when to expect us. On site, it takes two to three hours for most chips. The room is left tidy and ready to use once it has cured.

  1. We protect the bath and the floor around it.
  2. We clean, key and degrease the damage.
  3. We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
  4. Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
  5. We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the following day.

What you will pay

Our bath repair starts from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Different materials, different repairs

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

Composite and resin

Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, just like other baths.

Landlords, agents and businesses in EH95

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

What bath repair costs

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

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • What the surface is made of
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Access to the area

Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for EH95. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Send photos for a quote

The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Any details about the material
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • A photo taken from further back

Email us a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your EH95 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

Keeping it looking good

How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Give the bath a quick rinse after use
  • Do not leave razors or cans standing in the bath
  • Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
  • Do not leave a fresh chip for long

Do not leave razors, cans or hair grips in the bath, because they can mark the enamel. And fix dripping taps promptly.

Until we visit, a strip of waterproof tape over the damage helps, so water can’t get in. Take it off before we arrive.

When a repair is not the answer

In fairness, some problems need a different fix:

  • A steel bath rusted through
  • Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
  • Acrylic cracks with no access behind them

FAQs for EH95

Is there any odour?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.

What happens if you find more damage?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.

Do you hold any accreditations?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

Can you redo an old repair?

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

What areas do you cover?

Everywhere in the UK, EH95 included. Travel is included in the price.
