Bath repair at your home in EX3

A damaged bath does not have to mean a new bathroom. We fill the damage, shape it to the curve of the bath and refinish it, with the colour mixed on site. Our repair technicians work on cast iron enamel, whirlpool & spa baths and acrylic, and common reasons people get in touch are chips under the taps and an old repair that has yellowed or come loose.

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you’re not left guessing. On site, it takes two to three hours for most chips in most cases. We leave the room clean and you’ll know when it can be used.

  1. We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
  2. Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
  3. We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
  4. We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
  5. Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.

Prices in EX3

Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Why book with us

  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • One visit for most repairs
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • Rooms protected and left tidy

When we would advise against a repair

Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits:

  • Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we can’t get to from below
  • Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
  • Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath

What affects the price in EX3

Prices start from £95. There is no area surcharge for EX3. What changes the price is:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The material
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

Set against the cost of replacement, repairing typically costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Quotes from your photos

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Any details about the material
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Where you are, by postcode

Most clients in EX3 get their price from pictures. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Why repair rather than replace?

Think about the hidden costs of a new bath: removal and disposal, plumbing, a new panel, tiling and decorating. With a repair, it’s one visit and one price.

What your quote should include

  • How your room will be protected
  • How to care for the finish
  • Whether the price covers travel
  • How soon you can use it again

Work for landlords and builders

If you manage property in EX3, we will quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we will price them together.

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.

Can I fix it myself?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

Questions from EX3

How invisible is a bath repair?

On a glossy bath, you will struggle to find it. On older, dull enamel the repair can look glossier than the area around it.

Something went through my bath. Can it be fixed?

In most cases. Photos of the hole and the underside help us check.

Is it messy?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.

I tried a repair kit. Can you fix it?

Regularly. We strip it out, deal with any rust and repair it again.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

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

Can you repair a chip on a coloured bath?

Yes, we match coloured baths too. We tint the finish to your bath on site.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
