How bath repair works in PA43

Most of our bath repairs take a few hours, and the bath is back in use the next day. You will not need a plumber or tiler, because the bath doesn’t move. We work on pressed steel enamel, acrylic and cast iron enamel, and the jobs we see most are chips along the edge of the bath and deep scratches in acrylic.

We work cleanly and quietly. Protection goes down first, then the work takes a morning or an afternoon. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to care for it.

  1. Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
  2. We clean, key and degrease the damage, and any rust is treated.
  3. We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
  4. Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
  5. We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, typically the following day.

What we’re called out for in PA43

Dropped items cause the majority of chips, and building work is a common culprit. Acrylic baths crack for a different reason: the bath is not properly supported, so it flexes under weight.

These are the problems we are asked about most:

  • Impact holes in acrylic
  • An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
  • Rust by the waste and overflow
  • Scuffs and scratches in the surface

What bath repair costs

Repairs from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The material and finish
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Send pictures for a quote

Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Try to send:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • The material, if you know it
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

For a price in PA43, the easiest route is photos: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

Can I fix it myself?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

Should you replace it?

Replacing a fitted bath usually means a plumber, removing the old bath, making good the tiles and panel and getting rid of the old bath. Repairing it fixes just the damaged area in a single visit.
