How bath repair works in PL24

A repair fixes just the damaged area and blends it into the rest of the bath, which costs far less than replacing a fitted bath and the tiles around it. Most baths can be used again the following day. Typical jobs include a chipped rim or side and chips caused by builders, in acrylic, cast iron enamel and whirlpool & spa baths.

From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes a few hours, depending on the damage, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  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 apply the finish coats and polish the repair so it blends in.
  5. Once it has cured, normally by the following day, the bath is ready to use.

What you’ll pay

Our bath repair starts from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for PL24. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Why repair rather than replace?

Many people think a damaged bath means a new one. Generally it doesn’t: a repair keeps the bath in service for years, without the cost and upheaval of replacing it.

How to look after the repair

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:

  • Do not scrub with anything abrasive
  • Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
  • Make sure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
  • Do not leave a fresh chip for long

A repaired bath needs no special treatment, just sensible cleaning. Skip bleach and gritty creams and rinse after use.

If an acrylic bath has a crack, stop showering in it until it’s repaired. Each time it flexes, the crack grows, and water can get through to the floor below.

How we price bath repair

Prices start from £95. You will know the full cost before booking. We look at:

  • The material and finish
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • The colour and finish to match

The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking.

Send pictures for a quote

Two or three clear photos are typically enough. Try to include:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Details of any past repairs
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

Upload photos of the damage and one of the whole item, with your PL24 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

What a repair can’t fix

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

  • Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
  • A whole bath that’s dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
  • Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet

For landlords and businesses

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in PL24 use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip.

Common questions in PL24

Can you repair a failed DIY repair?

Yes, we do this frequently. The old material comes out, any rust is treated, then we repair it properly.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Usually, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

Is a bath repair permanent?

A properly prepared repair should last a long time, and ours come with a one-year guarantee. Gentle cleaning helps it last.

Can you price it without visiting?

Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

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

How invisible is a bath repair?

On a bath in good condition, a colour matched repair is very hard to spot. On older, dull enamel the repair can look glossier than the area around it.

Is the work guaranteed?

All our work carries our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
