About bath repair in HP15

A typical bath repair is a few hours’ work, and the bath is back in use the following day. You won’t need a plumber or tiler, because nothing is disconnected. We’re often asked to fix scratches you can feel with a fingernail and chips under the taps, across acrylic, cast iron enamel and whirlpool & spa baths.

Your technician turns up when we said we would and checks the damage against your pictures first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. Most visits take a few hours, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  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. We match both the colour and the shine.
  5. We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the day after.

Looking after it afterwards

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
  • Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
  • Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
  • If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted

There is nothing special to do after a repair. Avoid bleach-based and gritty cleaners and give it a rinse after each bath.

Do not leave a chip on a steel or cast iron bath. Water gets to the metal and rust starts, and a rust spot is a bigger repair than a clean chip.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Pressed steel

Pressed steel is thinner and lighter, with an enamel finish like cast iron. Exposed steel rusts fast, particularly by the plughole, so early repairs matter.

Acrylic

An acrylic bath is a moulded sheet strengthened from below. They do not rust, but they can crack, scratch or be holed, and a crack only stays repaired if it’s supported underneath.

Repairing versus replacing

People often assume a cracked or chipped bath has to come out. In most cases it does not: a repair keeps the bath in service for years, without the cost and upheaval of replacing it.

What bath repair costs

Prices start from £95. You will know the full cost before you book. We look at:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • How many areas need work
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for HP15. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

How to get a fixed quote

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Details of any past repairs
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • A wider photo showing the whole bath

To get a price, send two or three photos through our quote form or ring us. We will say straight away whether it can be repaired.

How the damage happens

Many chips happen while the bathroom is being fitted. Tools, tiles and fittings get dropped into the bath, frequently before anyone notices. We repair snagging damage like this regularly.

Signs it’s time to call us include:

  • Snagging damage from a refit
  • Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
  • Chips along the edge of the bath
  • Rust by the waste and overflow

Your questions about bath repair in HP15

Something went through my bath. Can it be fixed?

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

Do the materials smell?

There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.

Is my repair covered?

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

Is it messy?

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

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

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

I rent my home. Can I book you?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

Is a cracked acrylic bath repairable?

In most cases. The back of the crack is strengthened before the front is filled and refinished, so we need access under the bath.
