About bath repair in IP20

Bath repair is our most common job. A chip by the taps, a crack in the base and a rust spot by the plughole are all fixed without removing the bath, normally in one visit. Our technicians work on acrylic, whirlpool & spa baths and pressed steel enamel, and people most often call us about impact holes in acrylic and hairline or through cracks in acrylic.

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a few hours, depending on the damage. If anything looks different from your pictures, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.

  1. First, we check the damage against your pictures and agree the plan.
  2. Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
  3. We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to 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.

When we would advise against a repair

Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, for example:

  • A steel bath rusted through
  • Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
  • Wear across the entire surface, which needs re-enamelling

For landlords and businesses

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

What we are called out for in IP20

A cracked acrylic bath normally wasn’t supported properly. Loose legs, no proper cradle or a floor that gives let the base flex.

If you can see any of these, send us a picture:

  • Holes from dropped items
  • A cracked acrylic bath
  • An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
  • Chips under the taps

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

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.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed price from pictures. This is what makes a difference:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • The size and number of damaged areas

Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Send photos for a quote

You can take the photos on your phone. Just make sure we can see:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • One picture of the entire bath

If you are in IP20 and want a price, the easiest route is photos: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
