Surface repairs across PA32

Bath repair across PA32: what to expect

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. Most baths can be used again the next day. Typical jobs include cracks in an acrylic bath and an old repair that has yellowed or come loose, on pressed steel enamel, cast iron enamel and whirlpool & spa baths.

On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will take it from there. The job generally runs to a few hours, including clearing up.

  1. We protect the bath and the floor around it.
  2. We clean, key and degrease the damage.
  3. We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
  4. We match both the colour and the shine.
  5. We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the following day.

What you will pay

Prices start from £95. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Common problems we fix in PA32

Damage during fitting is very common. Tools, tiles and fittings get dropped into the bath, often before anyone notices. Snagging repairs like these are a regular job for us.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

  • Rust spots around the plughole
  • A failed DIY repair that is discoloured or lifting
  • Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
  • Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted

When a repair is not the answer

We’d rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:

  • A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
  • Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
  • A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense

Repair or replace?

People frequently assume a cracked or chipped bath has to come out. Usually it does not: a proper repair gives it years more use, and costs far less than the disruption of a replacement.

Looking after it afterwards

A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:

  • Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
  • Check that an acrylic bath does not move when you stand in it
  • Store metal items away from the bath
  • Get any new chip repaired before it rusts

Leave the repair to cure for as long as we say before running a bath. After that, gentle cleaning keeps it looking good.

Don’t leave a chip on a steel or cast iron bath. Once water reaches the metal, rust begins, and a rust spot is a bigger repair than a clean chip.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

Composite and resin

Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, in much the same way.

PA32 questions

What about rust by the waste?

Yes, it’s one of the most common repairs we do. We take it back to sound metal, seal it, fill it and match the colour.

How soon can you come?

Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Can you redo an old repair?

Regularly. We strip it out, deal with any rust and repair it again.

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.

How do I get a price for bath repair in PA32?

Repairs from £95. We give a fixed quote from your pictures. Send a close-up and a picture of the whole item and your postcode.

Is a cracked acrylic bath repairable?

Most of the time. The back of the crack is strengthened before the front is filled and refinished, so access behind the panel is important.

Is there a guarantee?

Yes: twelve months. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
