How bath repair works in ML10

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, usually in a single visit. Common call-outs are for rust spots around the plughole and chips under the taps, in roll-top & freestanding, cast iron enamel and whirlpool & spa baths.

Here’s how a visit normally runs: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and clear up. Allow a morning or an afternoon from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
  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. Finish coats go on, then the repair is polished to blend in.
  5. The repair is left to cure, and most baths can be used the next day.

What a repair can’t fix

We’d rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:

  • Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
  • A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
  • Metal that has corroded all the way through

Looking after it afterwards

How the surface is treated afterwards matters:

  • Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
  • Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
  • Ensure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
  • Have new chips seen to early

In the first few days, avoid putting weight or bottles on the repair. After that, clean it as you would the rest of the bath, avoiding abrasives.

Small chips are quick to repair. Leave them and they collect dirt, stain and, on metal baths, rust, so it’s worth getting them done early.

What we are called out for in ML10

Rust tends to begin where water collects, around the waste, under the taps or in an old chip. Water on bare metal causes rust that creeps under the surrounding enamel.

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

  • Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
  • Holes from dropped items
  • Damage beneath the taps
  • Deep scratches in acrylic

Landlord and trade work in ML10

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

What affects the price in ML10

Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. This is what makes a difference:

  • The material
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Quotes from your photos

Phone pictures are fine. Just ensure we can see:

  • One picture of the entire bath
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job.

Questions from ML10

Do I need to be at home?

We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.

What happens next?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote and the next dates we have.

Is my repair covered?

All our work carries a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Typically, yes. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send photos.

Can rust on a bath be repaired?

Yes. We remove the rust and loose enamel, fill the area, then colour-match the finish.

Is a bath repair permanent?

A properly prepared repair should last a long time, and it’s guaranteed for a year. Gentle cleaning helps.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
