Bath and surface repairs in S75

Our bath repair service in S75

Most of our bath repairs take a few hours, and you can generally bathe again the following day. There’s no need to book a plumber or tiler, because the bath doesn’t move. Our technicians work on whirlpool & spa baths, pressed steel enamel and cast iron enamel, and the jobs we see most are an old repair that has yellowed or come loose and a chip where the taps sit.

Visits start with a quick look at the job together. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and we start. It normally takes a few hours, depending on the damage, and we’ll tell you if anything changes.

1. First, we check the damage against your pictures and agree the plan.
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. Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.

What you’ll pay

Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Keeping it looking good

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:

• Give the bath a quick rinse after use
• Check that an acrylic bath does not move when you stand in it
• Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
• Clean with warm water and a mild detergent

For the first few days, keep heavy bottles off the repaired spot. After that, normal gentle cleaning is fine.

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.
