Bath and surface repairs in NE26

How bath repair works in NE26

Chips, cracks, rust spots and small holes can be repaired with the bath left exactly where it is. Nothing is unplumbed, your tiles stay as they are, and the repaired area is colour matched so it blends in. We regularly repair acrylic, roll-top & freestanding and whirlpool & spa baths, and the jobs we see most are scuffs and scratches in the surface and rust spots around the plughole.

When we visit, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take two to three hours for most chips. We clean up when we’re done and let you know when you can use it again.

1. We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
2. Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
3. The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
4. The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
5. Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.

What you will pay

Prices start from £95. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Aftercare tips

Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:

• Have new chips seen to early
• Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
• Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
• A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early

There is nothing special to do after a repair, just sensible cleaning. Skip bleach and gritty creams and rinse after use.

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.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:

• The type of damage
• The colour and finish to match
• The size and number of damaged areas
• What the surface is made of

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before booking, with no extras added later.

How to get a fixed price

Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To make it quick:

• Something in shot to show the size
• Natural light rather than flash
• What it’s made of, if you know
• One sharp close-up of the damage

There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.
