How bath repair works in M33

Chips, cracks, rust spots and small holes can be repaired with the bath left exactly where it is. Nothing is unplumbed, the tiles aren’t touched, and the finish is matched to the rest of the bath. Typical jobs include a failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting and deep scratches in acrylic, on cast iron enamel, whirlpool & spa baths and pressed steel enamel.

On the day, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take a few hours. We clean up when we’re done and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. We start by cleaning the damage and taking out loose enamel and rust.
  2. Next we fill the damage and sand it smooth and level.
  3. We mix the colour on the day to match your bath’s exact shade.
  4. We apply the finish coats and polish the repair so it blends in.
  5. We leave it to cure; you can generally use the bath the following day.

What it costs in M33

Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Aftercare tips

It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:

  • Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
  • Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
  • Store metal items away from the bath
  • Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth

Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy items on the repaired area. Deal with new chips early, before rust can start.

Rust under enamel spreads surprisingly quickly. Left for months, a small chip can grow into a large rust patch, so early repair keeps the cost down.

What bath repair costs

Prices start from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to M33. The price depends on:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • How easy the damage is to reach

A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Getting a price from photos

Phone pictures are fine. Make sure they show:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • A picture taken from further back
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job without visiting.

Honest limits

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
  • Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
  • Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath

Common problems we fix in M33

A cracked acrylic bath normally wasn’t supported properly. Legs that are not adjusted, a missing cradle or a soft floor let the bath move until it cracks.

People generally call us when they notice something like this:

  • Deep scratches in acrylic
  • Rust by the waste and overflow
  • Chips along the edge of the bath
  • Chips caused by builders

Repairs by material

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

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 the part we put right.

M33: your questions answered

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Of course, and it generally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.

Will the repair last?

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

How invisible is a bath repair?

On a glossy bath, you will struggle to find it. On older, dull enamel the repair can look glossier than the area around it.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Most of the time. Tell us what was done before.

When can you do it?

Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
