Our bath repair service in KY2

We repair just the damaged spot and colour-match it to the bath, which costs far less than replacing a fitted bath and the tiles around it. Most baths can be used again the day after. Typical jobs include chips on the rim or sides and scratches you can feel with a fingernail, on cast iron enamel, acrylic and whirlpool & spa baths.

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you are not left guessing. Once we’re there, the work takes a few hours, depending on the damage. The room is left tidy and you’ll know when it can be used.

  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. Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
  5. We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the next day.

What a repair can’t fix

We’d rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:

  • Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
  • A steel bath rusted through
  • Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we can’t get to from below

Keeping it looking good

To keep it looking its best for years:

  • Don’t leave razors or cans standing in the bath
  • Give the bath a quick rinse after use
  • Have new chips seen to early
  • Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning

Use gentle, non-abrasive cleaners and try not to drop heavy bottles on the repair. Get any new chip seen to quickly, before rust can start.

Until we visit, a strip of waterproof tape over the damage helps, so water cannot get in. Take it off before we arrive.

DIY kit or professional repair?

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.

Landlord and trade work in KY2

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

How the damage happens

Damage during fitting is very common. Tradespeople drop tools and tiles into the bath, and the damage is not always spotted until later. Snagging repairs like these are a regular job for us.

Signs it’s time to call us include:

  • Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
  • Rusty patches near the plughole
  • A kit repair that didn’t last
  • Hairline or through cracks in acrylic

Common questions in KY2

What information do you need?

Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we will take it from there.

Can you match an avocado or pink bath?

Yes, coloured baths are no problem. We tint the finish to your bath on site.

Do the materials smell?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.

How do I get a price for bath repair in KY2?

Repairs from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

I tried a repair kit. Can you fix it?

Yes, we do this often. The old material comes out, any rust is treated, then we repair it properly.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted.

What happens next?

We review the pictures and send a fixed quote and the next dates we have.
