About bath repair in G1

A damaged bath does not have to mean a new bathroom. Our technicians fill, shape and refinish the damage, mixing the colour on the day so the repair is hard to spot. Our repair technicians work on acrylic, pressed steel enamel and whirlpool & spa baths, and the jobs we see most are impact holes in acrylic and an old repair that has yellowed or come loose.

Once we’re through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes a few hours, depending on the damage, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. We start by cleaning the damage and taking out loose enamel and rust.
  2. We fill the damage and sand it flush with the surrounding surface.
  3. We mix the colour on the day to match your bath’s exact shade.
  4. We build up the finish and polish it into the surrounding enamel.
  5. The repair is left to cure, and most baths can be used the following day.

Cost

Prices start from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Repairing versus replacing

A new bath costs more than the bath itself: taking out the old one, plumbing, tiling, a panel and redecorating. A repair is one job, done in one visit.

Questions to ask before booking

  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • How the colour is matched
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?

What we’re called out for in G1

Damage during fitting is very common. Tools, tiles and fittings get dropped into the bath, frequently before anyone notices. We repair snagging damage like this regularly.

Most people get in touch after spotting one of these:

  • Scuffs and scratches in the surface
  • Holes from dropped items
  • A chip where the taps sit
  • A kit repair that didn’t last

What affects the price in G1

Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:

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

Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Getting a price from pictures

Phone pictures are fine. Just make sure we can see:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A picture taken from further back
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

Send us a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you are in G1, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

Honest limits

We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:

  • Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
  • A steel bath rusted through
  • A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense

How to look after the repair

To keep it looking its best:

  • Check that an acrylic bath does not move when you stand in it
  • Have new chips seen to early
  • Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
  • Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners

Keep metal objects like razors and cans off the surface, because they can mark the enamel. And fix dripping taps promptly.

Stop using the bath if a crack lets water through. Leaks under a bath can damage floors and ceilings.

FAQs for G1

Can you repair a failed DIY repair?

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

How much does bath repair cost in G1?

Prices start from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Can you repair a crack in an acrylic bath?

Most of the time. We reinforce the crack from behind, then fill and refinish the front, so access behind the panel is important.

What information do you need?

Photos of the damage, a photo of the whole bath and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.

Will it make a mess?

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

Can tenants book a repair?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just make sure the landlord agrees.

Do I have to be there?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.
