Bath and surface repairs in L70

Bath repair across L70: what to expect

Chips, cracks, rust spots and small holes can be repaired with the bath left exactly where it is. There is no plumbing to disconnect, your tiles stay as they are, and the finish is matched to the rest of the bath. We work on acrylic, pressed steel enamel and cast iron enamel, and the jobs we see most are damage done while the bathroom was being fitted and rust spots around the plughole.

Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so there are no surprises. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. Allow two to three hours for most chips.

1. We start by cleaning the damage and taking out loose enamel and rust.
2. The chip or crack is filled, then sanded level with the bath.
3. We mix the colour on the day to match your bath’s exact shade.
4. Finish coats go on, then the repair is polished to blend in.
5. The repair is left to cure, and most baths can be used the following day.

Cost

Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. 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 make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Keeping it looking good

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

• Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
• Store metal items away from the bath
• A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
• Do not scrub with anything abrasive

Care for the repair the same way as the bath: a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs. Keep scouring pads and gritty cleaners away from it.

If an acrylic bath has a crack, stop showering in it until it’s repaired. Each time it flexes, the crack grows, and it can start to leak underneath.

What affects the price in L70

Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:

• How many areas need work
• The colour and finish to match
• What the surface is made of
• How many items we do on one visit

Set against the cost of replacement, repairing usually costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Quotes from your photos

We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what to send:

• Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
• What it’s made of, if you know
• A close-up of the damage, in focus
• A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and no obligation.
