Our bath repair service in GU5

You do not need a new bath because of a chip. We fill the damage, shape it to the curve of the bath and refinish it, with the colour mixed on site so the repair is hard to spot. Common call-outs are for a failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting and hairline or through cracks in acrylic, in roll-top & freestanding, cast iron enamel and whirlpool & spa baths.

We begin by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. After that, protection goes down around the work area and the work begins. Allow a few hours, and we’ll keep you posted as we go.

  1. Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
  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 day after.

Prices in GU5

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Acrylic

Acrylic baths are moulded sheet reinforced underneath. They do not rust, but they can crack, scratch or be holed, and cracks need support from behind to stay fixed.

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that’s the part we put right.

What a repair cannot fix

To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:

  • Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
  • Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
  • A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)

Signs you need bath repair

Dropped items cause the majority of chips, and building work is a common culprit. Acrylic baths crack for a different reason: poor support underneath, so the bath flexes when it’s full.

The most common problems we’re called about are:

  • Snagging damage from a refit
  • Chips under the taps
  • Scuffs and scratches in the surface
  • A cracked acrylic bath

For landlords and businesses

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.

FAQs for GU5

Can you repair several things at once?

Of course, and it generally saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you will get one combined price.

What does bath repair cost?

Repairs from £95. We give a fixed price from your photos. Send a close-up and a photo of the whole item with your GU5 postcode.

Will the repair show?

On a bath in good condition, a colour matched repair is very hard to spot. On worn enamel, it can look shinier than the rest.

Something went through my bath. Can it be fixed?

In most cases. Send us a photo of the hole and one from under the bath if you can.

Do you work in GU5?

Yes. We work across the UK and come to GU5. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Can you redo an old repair?

Yes. We remove the old filler and start again. Tell us about it when you send photos.

Will it make a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
