Bath repair at your home in IG3

Most bath damage, from chips and cracks to rust spots and holes, is repaired in place. Nothing is unplumbed, your tiles stay as they are, and the repaired area is colour-matched so it blends in. Our repair technicians work on cast iron enamel, whirlpool & spa baths and acrylic, and people most often call us about scratches you can feel with a fingernail and a cracked acrylic bath.

We turn up when we said we would, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your photos first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. The work itself takes two to three hours for most chips, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. First, we check the damage against your pictures and agree the plan.
  2. Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
  3. The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
  4. The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
  5. Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.

Repairs by material

Cast iron

Cast iron is heavy and rigid, finished with fired enamel. Chips can rust if left, but the body of the bath lasts a very long time, so it’s always worth repairing.

Composite and resin

Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid, and frequently freestanding. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour matched, in much the same way.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

Repairing versus replacing

Think about the hidden costs of a new bath: removal and disposal, plumbing, a new panel, tiling and decorating. With a repair, it’s one visit and one price.

Questions to ask before booking

  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • How to care for the finish
  • How changes to the job are handled
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match

What bath repair costs

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

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The material and finish
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Access to the area

Compared with replacing, repairing usually costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Quotes from your photos

Before you send pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A wider photo showing the entire bath
  • Something in shot to show the size

Send us a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your IG3 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

IG3 questions

Can you fix rust around the plughole?

Yes. We remove the rust and loose enamel, fill the area, then colour-match the finish.

Do I have to be there?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Will I be able to see the repair?

The goal is a repair that blends in. How well it disappears depends on the condition of the rest of the bath, and we will tell you what to expect.

When can I have a bath again?

Normally by the following day, depending on the repair.

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

Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and you’ll get one combined price.

How do I get a price for bath repair in IG3?

Prices start from £95. We give a fixed quote based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up and a picture of the whole item with your IG3 postcode.

Do you charge for travel?

Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.
