Bath and surface repairs in G12

Bath repair across G12: what to expect

Repairing baths is what we do most. Chips on the rim, rust around the waste and cracks in acrylic are all repaired in place, normally in one visit. We’re frequently asked to fix an old repair that has yellowed or come loose and rusty patches near the plughole, on whirlpool & spa baths, pressed steel enamel and roll-top & freestanding.

The work is clean and fairly quiet. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes a morning or an afternoon. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to care for it.

1. Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
2. The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased, and any rust is treated.
3. We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
4. We match both the colour and the shine.
5. We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the day after.

What affects the price in G12

Prices start from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to G12. The price depends on:

• The size and number of damaged areas
• The type of damage
• How hard the colour is to match
• Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for G12. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Send photos for a quote

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:

• The material, if you know it
• Something in shot to show the size
• Details of any past repairs
• One picture of the whole bath

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

How to care for the repair

It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:

• If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
• Do not leave a fresh chip for long
• Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
• Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners

There is nothing special to do after a repair, just sensible cleaning. Avoid bleach-based and gritty cleaners.

Don’t leave a chip on a steel or cast iron bath. Water gets to the metal and rust starts, turning a quick repair into a bigger one.
