Bath repair at your home in IV45

A repair fixes just the damaged area and blends it into the rest of the bath, which is far cheaper than replacing a fitted bath. Most baths can be used again the day after. We regularly repair acrylic, roll-top & freestanding and pressed steel enamel, and common reasons people contact us are an old repair that has yellowed or come loose and impact holes in acrylic.

The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can stay at home while we are there. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes two to three hours for most chips. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to look after it.

  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 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. Once it has cured, typically by the following day, the bath is ready to use.

Repairing versus replacing

A repair makes sense whenever the damage is localised. It costs far less than a new bath plus fitting, it takes one visit, and nothing else in the room changes.

Questions to ask before booking

  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • What prep work is covered
  • How changes to the job are handled
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?

How the damage happens

Rust typically starts where water sits, around the waste, under the taps or in an old chip. Once water reaches the steel or iron, rust spreads under the enamel.

The things clients typically mention when they call include:

  • Chips under the taps
  • Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
  • Chips on the rim or sides
  • An old repair that has yellowed or come loose

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including IV45. The price reflects:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • How many areas need work

We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for IV45. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

How to get a fixed quote

You can generally get a fixed price without us visiting. To make it quick:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • One picture of the whole bath
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

Send us a photo of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you are in IV45, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

When a repair is not the answer

A repair is not right for every job, including:

  • Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
  • Wear across the whole surface, which needs re-enamelling
  • Acrylic cracks with no access behind them

IV45: your questions answered

Can you repair a hole in a bath?

Normally, yes, if we can reach behind it. The hole is backed, filled and refinished to match.

Do you charge for travel?

No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Will the repair last?

Done properly, a repair lasts for years, and ours come with a one-year guarantee. Gentle cleaning helps it last.

What do you need from me?

Photos of the damage, a photo of the whole bath and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Most of the time. Let us know what was used before and we will plan for it.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
