Bath repair at your home in PO13

You don’t need a new bath because of a chip. We fill the damage, shape it to the curve of the bath and refinish it, mixing the colour on the day so the repair is hard to spot. We regularly repair cast iron enamel, acrylic and whirlpool & spa baths, and the jobs we see most are chips along the edge of the bath and rust spots around the plughole.

We begin by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. Then the area is sheeted and masked and the work begins. You can expect it to take a morning or an afternoon, and we will tell you if anything changes.

  1. We start by cleaning the damage and taking out loose enamel and rust.
  2. The chip or crack is filled, then sanded level with the bath.
  3. We mix the colour on the day to match your bath’s exact shade.
  4. Finish coats go on, then the repair is polished to blend in.
  5. Once it has cured, usually by the day after, the bath is ready to use.

Repairs by material

Pressed steel

Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.

Cast iron

A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that’s what we repair.

Repair or replace?

Cast iron baths especially are worth keeping: getting one out, particularly from an upstairs bathroom, is a big job, and replacing like for like isn’t cheap. A repair keeps it in place.

Questions to ask before you book

  • Whether the price covers travel
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
  • Who will actually do the work
  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included

What we’re called out for in PO13

Most bath damage comes from something dropped: bottles, shower heads, tiles and tools. On steel and cast iron baths, any chip down to the metal lets water in, and rust follows.

These are the problems we are asked about most:

  • A cracked acrylic bath
  • A chip where the taps sit
  • Deep scratches in acrylic
  • A chipped rim or side

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to PO13. The price depends on:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The material and finish

The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before booking.

  • Details of any past repairs
  • Something in shot to show the size

For a price in PO13, the easiest route is pictures: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

PO13: your questions answered

Is there a call-out fee?

There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.

Do you repair coloured baths?

Yes, we match coloured baths too. The colour is tinted by hand on the day.

What happens after I send pictures?

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

Will it make a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.

Something went through my bath. Can it be fixed?

Normally, yes, if we can reach behind it. We back the hole, fill it and refinish the surface.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before.

Can a cracked acrylic bath be fixed?

Frequently, yes, if we can reach the underside to reinforce it. Check under the bath panel, or send us a photo.
