About bath repair in PR7

We see every kind of bath damage: chips from dropped bottles, rust round the plughole, cracks in acrylic and holes from falling tools. All of it is repaired where the bath stands with a one-year guarantee. We’re frequently asked to fix a failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting and rust by the waste and overflow, across whirlpool & spa baths, roll-top & freestanding and acrylic.

We agree an arrival time beforehand. On site, it takes a few hours, depending on the damage for most jobs. The room is left tidy.

  1. We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
  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. We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
  5. The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

When a repair isn’t the answer

A repair is not right for every job, including:

  • A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
  • Cracks in acrylic we cannot reach from underneath
  • A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense

How we price bath repair

Repairs from £95. We price every job individually. What matters most is:

  • How much damage there is
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • What the surface is made of

Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

Getting a price from pictures

You can normally get a fixed quote without us visiting. To make it quick:

  • One picture of the entire bath
  • Any details about the material
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

How the damage happens

Heavy toiletries are the biggest single cause of chips. Fittings cause damage too: water sits around them, and any chip there soon rusts.

The most common problems we’re called about are:

  • Holes from dropped items
  • Chips on the rim or sides
  • A failed DIY repair that is discoloured or lifting
  • Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted

DIY kit or professional repair?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. 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.

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

Your questions about bath repair in PR7

What does bath repair cost?

Prices start from £95. We give a fixed price from your pictures. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your PR7 postcode.

Do the materials smell?

There can be some smell while we work. It clears as the materials cure.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

You’ll get a fixed quote back, usually with dates to choose from. You’re under no obligation.

Can you redo an old repair?

Yes. We take out the old repair and do it properly. Tell us about it when you send photos.

Do I have to be there?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.

Is a bath repair permanent?

Yes, if it’s prepared properly and the bath is sound. It’s covered by our one-year guarantee.

How invisible is a bath repair?

On a glossy bath, you will struggle to find it. On worn enamel, it can look shinier than the rest.
