Bath and surface repairs in RM13

How bath repair works in RM13

You don’t need a new bath because of a chip. Our repair technicians fill, shape and refinish the damage, mixing the colour on the day. We regularly repair cast iron enamel, pressed steel enamel and whirlpool & spa baths, and the jobs we see most are chips along the edge of the bath and a hole punched through by something heavy.

You do not need to empty the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and get going once we have agreed what we’re doing. It normally takes a morning or an afternoon, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

1. First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
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. We build up the finish and polish it into the surrounding enamel.
5. Once it has cured, generally by the day after, the bath is ready to use.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:

• What kind of damage it is
• Any earlier repairs that need removing first
• Access to the area
• The size and number of damaged areas

We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for RM13. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Quotes from your pictures

Phone pictures are fine. Just ensure we can see:

• A clear, close picture of the problem area
• Natural light rather than flash
• A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
• One picture of the entire bath

You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

Keeping it looking good

A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:

• Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
• Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
• Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
• Rinse it down after each bath

A repaired bath needs no special treatment, beyond gentle cleaning. Skip bleach and gritty creams and give it a rinse after each bath.

Rust spreads under enamel faster than most people expect. Left for months, a small chip can grow into a large rust patch, so early repair keeps the cost down.
