Bath and surface repairs in LS14

Bath repair at your home in LS14

Whatever the damage, the aim is the same: a repair that is smooth, sound and hard to spot. Proper preparation, careful filling and shaping, then colour and gloss matching so it sits flush with the rest of the bath. We are frequently asked to fix snagging damage from a refit and scratches you can feel with a fingernail, across cast iron enamel, whirlpool & spa baths and pressed steel enamel.

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which normally takes two to three hours for most chips. If anything looks different from your photos, we will talk to you before going ahead.

1. First, we check the damage against your photos and agree the plan.
2. Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
3. We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
4. We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
5. The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.

Keeping it looking good

How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:

• Don’t leave a fresh chip for long
• Ensure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
• Don’t scrub with anything abrasive
• Store metal items away from the bath

There is nothing special to do after a repair, beyond gentle cleaning. Skip bleach and gritty creams and rinse after use.

A chip on a metal bath shouldn’t be left. Once water reaches the metal, rust begins, turning a quick repair into a bigger one.

How we price bath repair

Prices start from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:

• Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
• The material
• How easy the damage is to reach
• How much damage there is

What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

How to get a fixed quote

We price nearly every job from photos. This is what we need:

• Details of any past repairs
• Your postcode, so we can check dates
• What it’s made of, if you know
• Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
