Bath repair at your home in NP44

We see every kind of bath damage: chips from dropped bottles, rust round the plughole, cracks in acrylic and holes from falling tools. All of it is repaired where the bath stands with a one-year guarantee. We’re often asked to fix a hole punched through by something heavy and scuffs and scratches in the surface, on cast iron enamel, pressed steel enamel and roll-top & freestanding.

On the day, we arrive at the time we’ve 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.

We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.

What you will pay

Our bath repair starts from £95. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Repairs by material

Acrylic

An acrylic bath is a moulded sheet strengthened from below. They don’t rust, but they can crack, scratch or be holed, and a crack only stays repaired if it’s supported underneath.

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are thick and very strong, finished with fired enamel. A chip down to the iron can rust, but the bath itself lasts for generations, so it’s always worth repairing.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.

What a repair cannot fix

We would rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so these are the limits:

Cracks in acrylic we can’t reach from underneath
Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense

Repairing versus replacing

Cast iron baths in particular are worth repairing: getting one out, particularly from an upstairs bathroom, is a big job, and replacing like for like isn’t cheap. Repairing it leaves it where it is.

How we price bath repair

Prices start from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to NP44. The price depends on:

Where the damage is and how we get to it
What the surface is made of
Unusual colours or finishes
Whether we combine several jobs

Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. 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.

How to get a fixed price

Two or three clear pictures are normally enough. It helps if you send:

What it’s made of, if you know
A close-up of the damage, in focus
Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
One picture of the entire bath

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.

Your questions about bath repair in NP44

Can I get a quote without a visit?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

When can I have a bath again?

Normally by the following day, depending on the repair.

Do the materials smell?

There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.

Is there a guarantee?

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

Can pets and children be at home?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.
