How bath repair works in N1C

We repair just the damaged spot and colour-match it to the bath, which is far cheaper than replacing a fitted bath and the tiles around it. Most baths can be used again the day after. Typical jobs include scratches you can feel with a fingernail and a chip where the taps sit, across cast iron enamel, pressed steel enamel and acrylic.

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and start once you are happy with the plan. Most jobs take a few hours, depending on the damage, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
  2. We clean, key and degrease the damage.
  3. Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
  4. We match both the colour and the shine.
  5. We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the next day.

Aftercare tips

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
  • Give the bath a quick rinse after use
  • Have new chips seen to early
  • Cover the bath during DIY or decorating

Leave the repair to cure for as long as we say before running a bath. From then on, mild cleaning is all it needs.

Don’t leave a chip on a steel or cast iron bath. Once water reaches the metal, rust begins, and a rust spot is a bigger repair than a clean chip.

How we price bath repair

Repairs from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The colour and finish to match
  • The size and number of damaged areas

Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Send pictures for a quote

You can take the photos on your phone. Make sure they show:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • One picture of the entire bath

To get a price, send two or three photos through our quote form or ring us. We will say right away if a repair is the right fix.

Why repair rather than replace?

A new bath costs more than the bath itself: taking out the old one, plumbing, tiling, a panel and redecorating. With a repair, it’s one visit and one price.

What your quote should include

  • How to care for the finish
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match

When we would advise against a repair

A repair is not right for every job, for example:

  • A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
  • A steel bath rusted through
  • Cracks in acrylic we cannot reach from underneath

How the damage happens

A bath gets knocked about more than you’d think: bottles, shower heads and razors are dropped every day, and fittings press hard against the enamel. Sooner or later, most baths pick up a chip.

Look out for any of the following:

  • A chip where the taps sit
  • Impact holes in acrylic
  • Rust by the waste and overflow
  • Chips along the edge of the bath

N1C: your questions answered

Can you match an avocado or pink bath?

Yes, coloured baths are no problem. We tint the finish to your bath on site.

How long does the repair take to cure?

Most baths can be used the day after. We will tell you the exact curing time when we finish.

Can a cracked acrylic bath be fixed?

Often, yes, if we can reach the underside to reinforce it. Check under the bath panel, or send us a picture.

Will the repair last?

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

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

We review the pictures and send a fixed quote.

What about rust by the waste?

Yes, it’s one of the most common repairs we do. The rust is cut back to clean metal and sealed before we fill and finish it.
