Bath and surface repairs in IG10

About bath repair in IG10

Small damage on a bath is worth repairing early. Exposed metal on enamelled baths soon rusts, while cracks in acrylic grow each time the bath moves. Repairing it stops the damage getting worse. We work on whirlpool & spa baths, pressed steel enamel and cast iron enamel, and the jobs we see most are a hole punched through by something heavy and a cracked acrylic bath.

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a morning or an afternoon. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.

1. We start by cleaning the damage and taking out loose enamel and rust.
2. Next we fill the damage and sand it smooth and level.
3. We tint the finish on the day to suit your bath’s shade of white or colour.
4. We apply the finish coats and polish the repair so it blends in.
5. The repair is left to cure, and most baths can be used the next day.

Cost

Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:

• The material and finish
• Access to the area
• How many areas need work
• Any earlier repairs that need removing first

A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.

Keeping it looking good

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

• Check that an acrylic bath does not move when you stand in it
• Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
• Put a towel in the bath if you are working above it
• Rinse it down after each bath

Don’t leave razors, cans or hair grips in the bath, because they can mark the enamel. And fix dripping taps promptly.

A small chip is a quick job. Left alone, they stain and can rust, so it’s worth getting them done early.
