About bath repair in LL44

Whatever the damage, the aim is the same: a smooth, solid repair that blends in. Proper preparation, careful filling and shaping, then colour and gloss matching so it sits flush with the rest of the bath. Common call-outs are for a chipped rim or side and damage done while the bathroom was being fitted, on cast iron enamel, acrylic and pressed steel enamel.

Once we are through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes a few hours, depending on the damage, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. We start by cleaning the damage and taking out loose enamel and rust.
  2. We fill the damage and sand it flush with the surrounding surface.
  3. We mix the colour on the day to match your bath’s exact shade.
  4. We build up the finish and polish it into the surrounding enamel.
  5. We leave it to cure; you can normally use the bath the following day.

What you’ll pay

Our bath repair starts from £95. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.

How we price bath repair

Repairs from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:

  • How many areas need work
  • The type of damage
  • What the surface is made of
  • Whether we combine several jobs

Set against the cost of replacement, repairing typically costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Getting a price from photos

The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

If you’re in LL44 and want a price, the easiest route is pictures: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

Keeping it looking good

Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:

  • Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
  • Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
  • Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
  • Do not leave razors or cans standing in the bath

A repaired bath needs no special treatment, beyond gentle cleaning. Skip bleach and gritty creams and give it a rinse after each bath.

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

Repair or replace?

Cast iron baths in particular are worth repairing: getting one out, particularly from an upstairs bathroom, is a big job, and a like-for-like replacement can be expensive. Repairing it leaves it where it is.

Questions to ask before booking

  • What prep work is covered
  • If travel is included in the price
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
  • How your room will be protected

Can I fix it myself?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

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

When we’d advise against a repair

We would rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so these are the limits:

  • Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
  • A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
  • A whole bath that is dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
