How bath repair works in L30

Most bath damage, from chips and cracks to rust spots and holes, can be repaired with the bath left exactly where it is. Nothing is unplumbed, your tiles stay as they are, and the repaired area is colour matched so it blends in. We regularly repair roll-top & freestanding, whirlpool & spa baths and cast iron enamel, and people most often call us about deep scratches in acrylic and a kit repair that didn’t last.

Here’s how a visit generally runs: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, do the job and tidy away. Plan for two to three hours for most chips. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and how to look after it.

  1. We protect the bath and the floor around it.
  2. The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased.
  3. We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
  4. Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
  5. We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, generally the day after.

What affects the price in L30

Repairs from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to L30. The price depends on:

  • The material and finish
  • The colour and finish to match
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Getting a price from pictures

Most quotes are done from photos alone. To make it quick:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A photo taken from further back

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.

Repair or replace?

A new bath costs more than the bath itself: taking out the old one, plumbing, tiling, a panel and redecorating. With a repair, it’s one visit and one price.

Questions to ask before you book

  • What happens if they find more damage
  • How the colour is matched
  • Who will actually do the work
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price

Should I try a DIY kit first?

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

Repairs by material

Composite and resin

Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour-matched, just like other baths.

Acrylic

An acrylic bath is a moulded sheet strengthened from below. There is no rust, but cracks, holes and scratches happen, and cracks need support from behind to stay fixed.

Common questions in L30

Do you hold any accreditations?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

Will it make a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.

Can you fix rust around the plughole?

Yes. We remove the rust and loose enamel, fill the area, then colour-match the finish.

Can you repair a chip on a coloured bath?

Yes. The colour is mixed on site to suit your bath, including older coloured suites.

Is there any odour?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.

Do you cover L30?

Yes. We cover the whole UK and come to L30. Send photos and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
