Bath and surface repairs in M46

About bath repair in M46

Repairing baths is what we do most. A chip by the taps, a crack in the base and a rust spot by the plughole are all fixed without removing the bath, normally in one visit. Common call-outs are for rust spots around the plughole and deep scratches in acrylic, across roll-top & freestanding, whirlpool & spa baths and pressed steel enamel.

On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we will get on with it. The job generally runs to two to three hours for most chips, including clearing up.

1. First, we check the damage against your photos and agree the plan.
2. Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
3. The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
4. We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
5. Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.

Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Keeping it looking good

Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:

• Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
• A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
• Put a towel in the bath if you’re working above it
• Check that an acrylic bath does not move when you stand in it

Use gentle, non-abrasive cleaners and try not to drop heavy bottles on the repair. Get any new chip seen to quickly, before rust sets in.

Stop using the bath if a crack lets water through. Leaks under a bath can damage floors and ceilings.

What bath repair costs

Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:

• What the surface is made of
• What kind of damage it is
• Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
• Unusual colours or finishes

Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Getting a price from pictures

Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:

• Any details about the material
• A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
• Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
• A wider photo showing the entire bath

For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.
