Bath and surface repairs in IP5

How bath repair works in IP5

Repairing baths is what we do most. Chips on the rim, rust around the waste and cracks in acrylic are all repaired in place, normally in one visit. We are often asked to fix an old repair that has yellowed or come loose and a hole punched through by something heavy, across pressed steel enamel, acrylic and roll-top & freestanding.

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’ll explain it before carrying on.

1. We start by cleaning the damage and taking out loose enamel and rust.
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 build up the finish and polish it into the surrounding enamel.
5. The repair is left to cure, and most baths can be used the day after.

Keeping it looking good

Aftercare is simple:

• Have new chips seen to early
• Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
• Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
• A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early

Don’t leave razors, cans or hair grips in the bath, as they can leave rust marks. A dripping tap should be fixed early, too.

Small chips are quick to repair. Leave them and they collect dirt, stain and, on metal baths, rust, so early repair saves time and money.

What affects the price in IP5

Prices start from £95. There is no charge for travel to IP5. The price comes down to:

• How hard the colour is to match
• Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
• The type of damage
• Where the damage is and how we get to it

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
