About bath repair in PE11

Most bath damage, from chips and cracks to rust spots and holes, is repaired in place. Nothing is unplumbed, the tiles aren’t touched, and the finish is matched to the rest of the bath. Common call-outs are for a chip where the taps sit and chips along the edge of the bath, across pressed steel enamel, cast iron enamel and whirlpool & spa baths.

There is not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll take it from there. Most visits take a morning or an afternoon, including clearing up.

  1. We protect the bath and the floor around it.
  2. The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased.
  3. Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
  4. We match both the colour and the shine.
  5. We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, normally the following day.

What you will pay

Should I try a DIY kit first?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Cast iron

Cast iron is heavy and rigid, with a fused enamel surface. A chip down to the iron can rust, but the bath itself lasts for generations, so it’s always worth repairing.

Composite and resin

Composite baths are dense and solid, and frequently freestanding. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, just like other baths.

Common problems we fix in PE11

A cracked acrylic bath normally wasn’t supported properly. Legs that aren’t adjusted, a missing cradle or a soft floor let the bath move until the acrylic gives way.

People generally call us when they notice something like this:

  • Rust by the waste and overflow
  • Impact holes in acrylic
  • Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
  • A failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting

Aftercare tips

So the finish stays in good condition:

  • Don’t leave a fresh chip for long
  • Make sure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
  • Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
  • Do not scrub with anything abrasive

Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy items on the repaired area. Deal with new chips early, before rust can start.

Rust spreads under enamel faster than most people expect. A chip the size of a fingernail can become a much larger patch if it’s left for months, so it pays to deal with it early.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including PE11. What changes the price is:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • The size and number of damaged areas

No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. 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.

Quotes from your pictures

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Any details about the material
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.

Questions from PE11

Can pets and children be at home?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.

Can you match an avocado or pink bath?

Yes, coloured baths are no problem. We tint the finish to your bath on site.

I tried a repair kit. Can you fix it?

Regularly. The old material comes out, any rust is treated, then we repair it properly.

Can rust on a bath be repaired?

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 long before I can use the bath?

Most baths can be used the next day. We will tell you the exact curing time when we finish.

How do I book?

Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we’ll take it from there.

Will the price change on the day?

Your quote covers the damage in the photos. If there’s more, we’ll tell you before starting.
