How bath repair works in IV27

A damaged bath does not have to mean a new bathroom. We fill the damage, shape it to the curve of the bath and refinish it, mixing the colour on the day. We work on roll-top & freestanding, cast iron enamel and pressed steel enamel, and people most often call us about rusty patches near the plughole and chips under the taps.

We turn up when we said we would, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your photos first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. The work itself takes two to three hours for most chips, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  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. The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
  4. We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
  5. Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.

Honest limits

Some jobs are not right for a repair, including:

  • Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
  • Cracks in acrylic we can’t reach from underneath
  • Metal that has corroded all the way through

Keeping it looking good

Looking after the surface is easy:

  • Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
  • Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
  • Do not scrub with anything abrasive
  • Check that an acrylic bath doesn’t move when you stand in it

For the first few days, keep heavy bottles off the repaired spot. After that, clean it as you would the rest of the bath without abrasive products.

If an acrylic bath has a crack, stop showering in it until it’s repaired. Every use opens the crack a little more, and water can get through to the floor below.

Repairs by material

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that’s what we repair.

Composite and resin

Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, in much the same way.

What affects the price in IV27

Prices start from £95. We price every job individually. The main factors are:

  • The material
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • How many areas need work

Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for IV27. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

How to get a fixed quote

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

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A wider photo showing the entire bath

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures through our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

Repair or replace?

Replacing a fitted bath normally involves a plumber, lifting out the old bath, re-tiling and a new panel and getting rid of the old bath. A repair deals only with the damage in a single visit.

Your questions about bath repair in IV27

Is it messy?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Normally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.

Is there any odour?

A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.

What do you need from me?

Do you repair coloured baths?

Yes, coloured baths are no problem. The colour is tinted by hand on the day.

Will the price change on the day?

If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.

Can you redo an old repair?

Regularly. The old material comes out, any rust is treated, then we repair it properly.
