Our bath repair service in S7

A repair fixes just the damaged area and blends it into the rest of the bath, which costs far less than replacing a fitted bath and the tiles around it. You can usually use the bath the next day. Our technicians work on acrylic, pressed steel enamel and cast iron enamel, and the jobs we see most are chips along the edge of the bath and damage done while the bathroom was being fitted.

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and tidy away. Plan for a few hours from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and how to look after it.

We protect the bath and the floor around it.
The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased.
Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
We match both the colour and the shine.
We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the following day.

Prices in S7

Prices start from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Aftercare tips

To keep it looking its best for years:

Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
Store metal items away from the bath
Make sure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth

Give the repair the full curing time we recommend before running a bath. After that, gentle cleaning keeps it looking good.

Avoid standing in a cracked acrylic bath until it’s fixed. Each time it flexes, the crack grows, and it can start to leak underneath.

What bath repair costs

Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:

Doing more than one item at once
What the surface is made of
How hard the colour is to match
Where the damage is and how we get to it

The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Send pictures for a quote

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:

One sharp close-up of the damage
What it’s made of, if you know
The postcode, so we can plan the visit
A picture taken from further back

Email us pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your S7 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

When we would advise against a repair

We would rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so these are the limits:

Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
Leaking fittings, which need a plumber

Repairs by material

Pressed steel

Steel baths are lighter than cast iron, but have a similar enamel surface. Chips rust quickly on steel, particularly by the plughole, so repair chips early.

Cast iron

Cast iron is heavy and rigid, finished with fired enamel. A chip down to the iron can rust, but the bath itself lasts for generations, so it’s always worth repairing.

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing a fitted bath normally involves a plumber, lifting out the old bath, making good the tiles and panel and disposing of the old one. Repairing it fixes just the damaged area in a single visit.

Questions to ask before booking

S7: your questions answered

Can a cracked acrylic bath be fixed?

In most cases. The back of the crack is strengthened before the front is filled and refinished, so access behind the panel is important.

Can you quote from photos?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.

Is my repair covered?

Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Do the materials smell?

Expect a mild smell while we are working, which fades afterwards.

Are there extra charges for S7?

We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.

Do you work in S7?

Yes, we do. We send a technician to S7 for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
