Bath repair across LS16: what to expect

A damaged bath does not have to mean a new bathroom. We fill the damage, shape it to the curve of the bath and refinish it, with the colour mixed on site. Common call-outs are for scuffs and scratches in the surface and snagging damage from a refit, in acrylic, pressed steel enamel and whirlpool & spa baths.

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and start once you’re happy with the plan. It typically takes a morning or an afternoon, and you can get on with other things while we are there.

  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.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

Signs you need bath repair

Damage during fitting is very common. Tradespeople drop tools and tiles into the bath, and the damage is not always spotted until later. Snagging repairs like these are a regular job for us.

Most people get in touch when they notice something like this:

  • Damage beneath the taps
  • Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
  • Scuffs and scratches in the surface
  • An old repair that has yellowed or come loose

Different materials, different repairs

Pressed steel

Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that’s what we repair.

Work for landlords and builders

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, pictures and access details and we will handle the rest.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Repair or replace?

When the bath is otherwise sound, repairing beats replacing. It costs less, takes less time and causes far less upheaval, and the bathroom stays as it is. If the whole surface is worn, re-enamelling may make more sense, and we will tell you.

FAQs for LS16

Will you leave a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.

Do you repair coloured baths?

Yes. We mix the colour on the day to match, including pastel and older colours.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

When can you do it?

We will give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Is a bath repair durable?

It should, as long as the bath is firm and the area was prepared well. It carries our one-year guarantee.

How long before I can use the bath?

Most baths can be used the following day. We’ll tell you the exact curing time when we finish.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Yes, we frequently do. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.
