Our bath repair service in RM20

We’ve repaired just about every kind of bath damage: dropped-bottle chips, plughole rust, acrylic cracks and impact holes. All of it is repaired where the bath stands. Our technicians work on pressed steel enamel, whirlpool & spa baths and acrylic, and common reasons people get in touch are chips on the rim or sides and damage done while the bathroom was being fitted.

You don’t need to empty the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we’ve agreed what we’re doing. Most jobs take a few hours, depending on the damage, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.

  1. We protect the bath and the floor around it.
  2. We clean, key and degrease the damage, and any rust is treated.
  3. We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
  4. Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
  5. We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the next day.

What you will pay

Prices start from £95. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

What you get with us

  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
  • Colour mixed on the day to match

Can I fix it myself?

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.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Pressed steel

Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.

Acrylic

An acrylic bath is a moulded sheet strengthened from below. There is no rust, but cracks, holes and scratches happen, and a crack only stays repaired if it’s supported underneath.

Common problems we fix in RM20

Acrylic baths that crack nearly always have a support problem. Loose legs, no proper cradle or a floor that gives let the bath move.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • Holes from dropped items
  • Cracks in an acrylic bath
  • Snagging damage from a refit
  • A chipped rim or side

Repairing versus replacing

Cast iron baths especially are worth keeping: getting one out, particularly from an upstairs bathroom, is a big job, and replacing like for like is not cheap. Repairing it leaves it where it is.

Questions to ask before booking

  • What happens if they find more damage
  • If travel is included in the price
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • Who turns up on the day

Common questions in RM20

Can you repair a hole in a bath?

Often, if there’s access underneath. The hole is backed, filled and refinished to match.

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

Most of the time. Let us know what was used before.

Is a bath repair permanent?

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

Do you cover RM20?

Yes. We cover the entire UK and come to RM20. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

How quickly can you book me in?

Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

What do you need from me?

Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
