Bath and surface repairs in L36

Our bath repair service in L36

Bath repair is our most common job. A chip by the taps, a crack in the base and a rust spot by the plughole are all fixed without removing the bath, normally in one visit. We regularly repair acrylic, cast iron enamel and roll-top & freestanding, and common reasons people contact us are damage done while the bathroom was being fitted and a chipped rim or side.

We begin by going over the job with you. After that, protection goes down around the work area and the work begins. You can expect it to take two to three hours for most chips.

1. We clean the area and remove any loose enamel or rust.
2. Next we fill the damage and sand it smooth and level.
3. The colour is mixed on the spot to match your bath.
4. We build up the finish and polish it into the surrounding enamel.
5. We leave it to cure; you can generally use the bath the day after.

Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.

How to care for the repair

So the finish stays in good condition for years:

• If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
• Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
• Do not leave razors or cans standing in the bath
• Give the bath a quick rinse after use

Use gentle, non-abrasive cleaners and try not to drop heavy bottles on the repair. Deal with new chips early, before rust can start.

If an acrylic bath has a crack, stop showering in it until it’s repaired. Every use opens the crack a little more, and water can get through to the floor below.

What affects the price in L36

Repairs from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to L36. The price comes down to:

• How easy the damage is to reach
• Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
• How many items we do on one visit
• How many areas need work

Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

How to get a fixed quote

Phone pictures are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Just ensure we can see:

• What it’s made of, if you know
• Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
• Your postcode, so we can check dates
• A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole bath, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
