About bath repair in OL5

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. You can typically use the bath the day after. We’re frequently asked to fix a kit repair that didn’t last and holes from dropped items, across cast iron enamel, pressed steel enamel and acrylic.

Your technician turns up when we said we would and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. Most visits take a morning or an afternoon, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
  2. Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
  3. We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
  4. We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
  5. The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.

What you will pay

Our bath repair starts from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

What affects the price in OL5

Repairs from £95. There is no charge for travel to OL5. The price comes down to:

  • Access to the area
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • How many areas need work

We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Getting a price from pictures

We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what we need:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A wider photo showing the entire bath

No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.

Landlords, agents and businesses in OL5

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

For anyone letting property in or around OL5, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send photos for each address and we’ll price them together.

How to look after the repair

It’s all simple stuff:

  • Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
  • Put a towel in the bath if you are working above it
  • Give the bath a quick rinse after use
  • Do not leave razors or cans standing in the bath

Do not leave razors, cans or hair grips in the bath, because they can mark the enamel. A dripping tap should be fixed early, too.

Tape over a fresh chip or crack until it’s repaired, so water cannot get in. Remove it before the repair.

What we’re called out for in OL5

Baths take more knocks than people expect: everyday items get dropped into it all the time, and fittings press hard against the enamel. Sooner or later, most baths pick up a chip.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • Chips along the edge of the bath
  • A chip where the taps sit
  • An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
  • Holes from dropped items

Should I try a DIY kit first?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.

OL5: your questions answered

What happens next?

You get a fixed price and available dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.

What happens if you find more damage?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

Is there any odour?

It depends on the job, but often a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.

Can a cracked acrylic bath be fixed?

In most cases. The back of the crack is strengthened before the front is filled and refinished, so we need access under the bath.

What does bath repair cost?

Prices start from £95. We give a fixed price from your photos. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.

Is the work guaranteed?

All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.
