Bath repair at your home in NG7

It pays to repair bath damage while it’s small. On steel and cast iron, exposed metal starts to rust, while cracks in acrylic grow each time the bath moves. A repair stops both. Our repair technicians work on cast iron enamel, pressed steel enamel and whirlpool & spa baths, and people most often call us about chips on the rim or sides and hairline or through cracks in acrylic.

We begin by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we’re doing. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and we start. You can expect it to take a morning or an afternoon, and we’ll tell you if anything changes.

  1. We clean the area and remove any loose enamel or rust.
  2. We fill the damage and sand it flush with the surrounding surface.
  3. We tint the finish on the day to suit your bath’s shade of white or colour.
  4. We build up the finish and polish it into the surrounding enamel.
  5. We leave it to cure; you can normally use the bath the next day.

What it costs in NG7

Our bath repair starts from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for NG7. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

DIY kit or professional repair?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

Landlord and trade work in NG7

For anyone letting property in or around NG7, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send pictures for each one and we will come back with a combined price.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in NG7 as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it generally costs far less than a refit.

Repair or 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.

Repairs by material

Composite and resin

Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour-matched, in much the same way.

Acrylic

Acrylic baths are moulded sheet reinforced underneath. They do not rust, but they can crack, scratch or be holed, and a crack only stays repaired if it’s supported underneath.

When a repair isn’t the answer

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

  • Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
  • Cracks in acrylic we cannot reach from underneath
  • A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
