Bath repair at your home in KA28

We’ve repaired just about every kind of bath damage: chips from dropped bottles, rust round the plughole, cracks in acrylic and holes from falling tools. All of it is repaired where the bath stands. We regularly repair pressed steel enamel, whirlpool & spa baths and acrylic, and people most frequently call us about scuffs and scratches in the surface and a kit repair that didn’t last.

We begin by going over the job with you. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and the work begins. You can expect it to take a few hours, and we’ll tell you if anything changes.

  1. We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
  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.

When a repair isn’t the answer

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

  • Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
  • Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
  • A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense

Should you replace it?

When the bath is otherwise sound, repairing beats replacing. It costs less, takes less time and causes far less upheaval, and the bathroom stays as it is. Where the entire surface is tired, we may suggest re-enamelling instead.

Repairs by material

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

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 is what we repair.

How the damage happens

Nearly all the chips we see start with something being dropped: bottles, shower heads, tiles and tools. On steel and cast iron baths, a chip that reaches the metal lets water in, and rust follows.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

  • Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
  • Holes from dropped items
  • Damage beneath the taps
  • Rust spots around the plughole

Keeping it looking good

How the surface is treated afterwards matters:

  • Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
  • Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
  • Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
  • Rinse it down after each bath

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

Tape over a fresh chip or crack until it’s repaired, so water can’t get in. Remove it before the repair.

FAQs for KA28

Is the work guaranteed?

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

I tried a repair kit. Can you fix it?

Regularly. We strip it out, deal with any rust and repair it again.

Will I be able to see the repair?

On a glossy bath, you will struggle to find it. On worn enamel, it can look shinier than the rest.

What areas do you cover?

Everywhere in the UK, KA28 included. There’s no extra charge for travel.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Is repairing better than replacing?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

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