Bath and surface repairs in S45

Bath repair at your home in S45

Whatever has happened to the bath, we aim for the same result: a repair that is smooth, sound and hard to spot. We prepare the area properly, fill and shape it, then match the colour and gloss so it’s level with the surrounding surface. We regularly repair cast iron enamel, whirlpool & spa baths and acrylic, and people most frequently call us about snagging damage from a refit and cracks in an acrylic bath.

On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job usually takes a morning or an afternoon. We clean up when we’re done and tell you when it’s ready to use.

1. We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
2. Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
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’ll pay

Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Keeping it looking good

It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:

• Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
• Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
• Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
• If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted

Don’t leave razors, cans or hair grips in the bath, because they can mark the enamel. A dripping tap should be fixed early, too.

If water is getting through a crack, stop using the bath. Leaks under a bath can damage floors and ceilings.

How we price bath repair

Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including S45. The price reflects:

• The colour and finish to match
• The material
• How much damage there is
• Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

How to get a fixed quote

Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Please include:

• A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
• Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
• Where you are, by postcode
• What it’s made of, if you know

You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
