Bath repair at your home in HP1

It pays to repair bath damage while it’s small. Exposed metal on enamelled baths soon rusts, while cracks in acrylic grow each time the bath moves. Repairing it stops the damage getting worse. Typical jobs include a cracked acrylic bath and deep scratches in acrylic, across pressed steel enamel, roll-top & freestanding and acrylic.

When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job usually takes a morning or an afternoon. We clean up when we are done and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
  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 apply the finish coats and polish the repair so it blends in.
  5. Once it has cured, typically by the next day, the bath is ready to use.

What it costs in HP1

What a repair cannot fix

We’d rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so these are the limits:

  • Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
  • A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
  • Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath

Repairs by material

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are thick and very strong, with a fused enamel surface. A chip down to the iron can rust, but the body of the bath lasts a very long time, so it’s always worth repairing.

Composite and resin

Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour matched, just like other baths.

How to look after the repair

A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:

  • Give the bath a quick rinse after use
  • Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
  • Don’t scrub with anything abrasive
  • Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning

A repaired bath needs no special treatment, just sensible cleaning. Avoid bleach-based and gritty cleaners.

Do not leave a chip on a steel or cast iron bath. Once water reaches the metal, rust begins, turning a quick repair into a bigger one.

How we price bath repair

Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We take into account:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The material

A repair generally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Quotes from your photos

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

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • The material, if you know it
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos using our quote form or call us. We will say immediately if a repair is the right fix.

Signs you need bath repair

Most bath damage comes from something dropped: a shampoo bottle, a shower head, a tile or a tool during a refit. On steel and cast iron baths, a chip that reaches the metal will start to rust.

Get in touch if you’ve noticed:

  • A cracked acrylic bath
  • Chips along the edge of the bath
  • Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
  • Holes from dropped items

Questions from HP1

Will the repair show?

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

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Just keep them out of the work area. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.

Can you fix rust around the plughole?

Yes, it’s one of the most common repairs we do. We take it back to sound metal, seal it, fill it and match the colour.

Is there a guarantee?

Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Of course, and it generally saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and we’ll quote them together.

Do you do work for letting agents?

We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

I tried a repair kit. Can you fix it?

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