Bath and surface repairs in NR3

How bath repair works in NR3

We repair enamelled steel, cast iron and acrylic baths. The method changes with the material: rust is treated on metal baths, while cracks in acrylic are reinforced from underneath. We are often asked to fix rust by the waste and overflow and chips under the taps, on roll-top & freestanding, cast iron enamel and acrylic.

We begin by going over the job with you. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. It normally takes a few hours, and we’ll tell you if anything changes.

1. We start by cleaning the damage and taking out loose enamel and 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. Once it has cured, normally by the following day, the bath is ready to use.

What affects the price in NR3

Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from photos. This is what makes a difference:

• How many items we do on one visit
• The colour and finish to match
• How much damage there is
• The material

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.

Quotes from your photos

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:

• The material, if you know it
• A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
• Any earlier repairs or coatings
• Natural light rather than flash

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole bath, include your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.
