Bath repair across S11: what to expect

Bath repair is our most common job. A chip by the taps, a crack in the base and a rust spot by the plughole are all repaired in place, normally in one visit. We regularly repair acrylic, whirlpool & spa baths and pressed steel enamel, and the jobs we see most are chips on the rim or sides and damage beneath the taps.

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you’re not left guessing. Once we are there, the work takes a morning or an afternoon in most cases. We leave the room clean and you’ll know when it can be used.

  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. We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to 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.

What you will pay

Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

DIY kit or professional repair?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

Common problems we fix in S11

Glass and heavy bottles cause more chips than anything else, with dropped shower heads close behind. Taps and wastes cause problems too: water collects there, so chips nearby rust quickly.

Send us a picture if you notice any of these:

  • A chip where the taps sit
  • Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
  • A cracked acrylic bath
  • A hole punched through by something heavy

How we price bath repair

Repairs from £95. You’ll know the full cost before booking. We look at:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • What the surface is made of
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Doing more than one item at once

We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Getting a price from photos

We price nearly every job from photos. This is what we need:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • One picture of the entire bath
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Natural light rather than flash

You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

When a repair isn’t the answer

In fairness, there are a few things a repair will not fix:

  • Cracks in acrylic we cannot reach from underneath
  • A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
  • A steel bath rusted through

How to look after the repair

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
  • If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
  • Put a towel in the bath if you’re working above it
  • Store metal items away from the bath

Treat the repaired area like the rest of the bath: a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs. Avoid scourers and gritty cream cleaners.

Small chips are quick to repair. Left alone, they stain and can rust, so it’s worth getting them done early.
