About bath repair in RG9

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. We are frequently asked to fix damage done while the bathroom was being fitted and hairline or through cracks in acrylic, on cast iron enamel, whirlpool & spa baths and acrylic.

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, and get on with the job, which typically takes two to three hours for most chips. If anything looks different from your pictures, we will talk to you before going ahead.

  1. We clean the area and remove any loose enamel or rust.
  2. We fill the damage and sand it flush with the surrounding surface.
  3. We mix the colour on the day to match your bath’s exact shade.
  4. We apply the finish coats and polish the repair so it blends in.
  5. Once it has cured, usually by the following day, the bath is ready to use.

Common problems we fix in RG9

A cracked acrylic bath generally wasn’t supported properly. Loose legs, no proper cradle or a floor that gives let the base flex.

The most common problems we’re called about are:

  • Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
  • Chips caused by builders
  • Scuffs and scratches in the surface
  • Rust by the waste and overflow

Looking after it afterwards

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
  • Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
  • Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
  • Keep metal cans and razors off the surface

Give the repair the full curing time we recommend before using the bath. From then on, mild cleaning is all it needs.

Stop using the bath if a crack lets water through. Leaks under a bath can damage floors and ceilings.

When we’d advise against a repair

A repair isn’t right for every job, for example:

  • A steel bath rusted through
  • Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
  • A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are thick and very strong, with a fused enamel surface. Chips can rust if left, but the body of the bath lasts a very long time, so it’s always worth repairing.

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

What bath repair costs

Prices start from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • The material and finish
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You will see the full price before you book, with no extras added later.

Send pictures for a quote

We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what to send:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Details of any past repairs
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole bath, add your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.
