Bath repair at your home in PO20

A damaged bath doesn’t have to mean a new bathroom. Our technicians fill, shape and refinish the damage, with the colour mixed on site. We work on roll-top & freestanding, acrylic and cast iron enamel, and the jobs we see most are deep scratches in acrylic and holes from dropped items.

We begin by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we’re doing. Then the area is sheeted and masked and the work begins. Allow a few hours, depending on the damage, and we’ll tell you if anything changes.

  1. First, we check the damage against your pictures and agree the plan.
  2. Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
  3. The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
  4. The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
  5. Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.

What affects the price in PO20

Repairs from £95. We price every job individually, from your pictures. The main factors are:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • What the surface is made of

A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Quotes from your pictures

The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • A wider photo showing the whole bath
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

To get a price, send two or three photos using our quote form or call us. We will say straight away whether it can be repaired.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

It’s natural to want to try a repair 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.

Work for landlords and builders

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

Aftercare tips

To keep it looking its best for years:

  • Have new chips seen to early
  • Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
  • Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
  • Give the bath a quick rinse after use

For the first few days, keep heavy bottles off the repaired spot. After that, clean it as you would the rest of the bath.

A small chip is a quick job. Leave them and they collect dirt, stain and, on metal baths, rust, so it’s worth getting them done early.

Should you replace it?

Swapping a damaged bath for a new one generally means a plumber, lifting out the old bath, re-tiling and a new panel and disposing of the old one. Repairing it deals only with the damage in one visit.

What your quote should include

  • How soon you can use it again
  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • If travel is included in the price
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price

FAQs for PO20

What happens if you find more damage?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Most of the time. Tell us what was done before and we will plan for it.

Is it messy?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.

Is a holed acrylic bath repairable?

In most cases. Photos of the hole and the underside help us check.

Is there any odour?

There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.

Are you accredited?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

Can pets and children be at home?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
