Bath repair across IV47: what to expect

You do not need a new bath because of a chip. Our technicians fill, shape and refinish the damage, with the colour mixed on site so the repair is hard to spot. Common call-outs are for an old repair that has yellowed or come loose and a hole punched through by something heavy, on roll-top & freestanding, pressed steel enamel and whirlpool & spa baths.

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, then carry out the work, which generally takes two to three hours for most chips. If anything looks different from your photos, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.

  1. We protect the bath and the floor around it.
  2. We clean, key and degrease the damage.
  3. We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
  4. We match both the colour and the shine.
  5. We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, usually the following day.

Prices in IV47

Our bath repair starts from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • Repair technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • Nothing taken out or refitted

Landlord and trade work in IV47

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

For anyone letting property in or around IV47, we will quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we’ll come back with a combined price.

Repair or replace?

Swapping a damaged bath for a new one normally involves a plumber, lifting out the old bath, re-tiling and a new panel and disposing of the old one. Repairing it deals only with the damage in a single visit.

Questions to ask before booking

  • What preparation is included
  • How changes to the job are handled
  • Who will actually do the work
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?

Can I fix it myself?

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

Aftercare tips

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:

  • Do not leave razors or cans standing in the bath
  • Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
  • Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
  • A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early

Keep metal objects like razors and cans off the surface, because they can mark the enamel. A dripping tap should be fixed early, too.

If water is getting through a crack, stop using the bath until it’s repaired. Leaks under a bath can damage floors and ceilings.

Honest limits

It helps to know what we cannot do too:

  • A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
  • Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
  • Wear across the entire surface, which needs re-enamelling

Your questions about bath repair in IV47

Is a bath repair durable?

Yes, if it’s prepared properly and the bath is sound. It carries our one-year guarantee.

How quickly can you book me in?

That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.

Can tenants book a repair?

We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just ensure the landlord agrees.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before and we’ll plan for it.

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

Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we’ll quote them together.

Do you work in IV47?

Yes. We cover the entire UK and come to IV47. Send pictures and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
