Bath repair across LU6: what to expect

We repair just the damaged spot and colour-match it to the bath, which is far cheaper than replacing a fitted bath. You can generally use the bath the day after. Typical jobs include deep scratches in acrylic and chips along the edge of the bath, in pressed steel enamel, whirlpool & spa baths and roll-top & freestanding.

Visits start with a quick look at the job together. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and we start. You can expect it to take a few hours, depending on the damage, and we’ll keep you posted as we go.

  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. We tint the finish on the day to suit your bath’s shade of white or colour.
  4. We apply the finish coats and polish the repair so it blends in.
  5. Once it has cured, normally by the next day, the bath is ready to use.

Different materials, different repairs

Acrylic

An acrylic bath is a moulded sheet strengthened from below. They do not rust, but they can crack, scratch or be holed, and cracks need support from behind to stay fixed.

Composite and resin

Composite baths are dense and solid, and frequently freestanding. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour matched, just like other baths.

Honest limits

In fairness, there are a few things a repair will not fix:

  • Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
  • Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
  • Wear across the whole surface, which needs re-enamelling

Repair or replace?

People frequently assume a cracked or chipped bath has to come out. Usually it does not: a proper repair gives it years more use, and costs far less than the disruption of a replacement.

Landlord and trade work in LU6

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, photos and access details and we will handle the rest.

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

Keeping it looking good

Looking after the surface is easy:

  • Don’t leave razors or cans standing in the bath
  • Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
  • Don’t leave a fresh chip for long
  • Check that an acrylic bath does not move when you stand in it

For the first few days, keep heavy bottles off the repaired spot. After that, clean it as you would the rest of the bath, avoiding abrasives.

Rust under enamel spreads surprisingly quickly. Left for months, a small chip can grow into a large rust patch, so it pays to deal with it early.

Questions from LU6

Are there extra charges for LU6?

We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

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

Do you come to LU6?

Yes. We work across the UK and come to LU6. Send pictures and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Is a holed acrylic bath repairable?

Generally. Send us a photo of the hole and one from under the bath if you can.

Is a bath repair durable?

Yes, if it’s prepared properly and the bath is sound. It’s covered by our one-year guarantee.

Will the price change on the day?

The price is fixed for what the pictures show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
