Our bath repair service in SA14

A typical bath repair is a few hours’ work, and you can generally bathe again the day after. You won’t need a plumber or tiler, because nothing is disconnected. Typical jobs include impact holes in acrylic and an old repair that has yellowed or come loose, across roll-top & freestanding, whirlpool & spa baths and acrylic.

We begin by going over the job with you. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and the work begins. It normally takes a few hours, depending on the damage.

  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. Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.

What it costs in SA14

Prices start from £95. 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 price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Repairing versus replacing

Many people think a damaged bath means a new one. Typically it does not: a proper repair gives it years more use, and costs far less than the disruption of a replacement.

What bath repair costs

Prices start from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to SA14. The price depends on:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • How many areas need work

Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. 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.

How to get a fixed price

Photographing the damage takes a minute. Please include:

  • The material, if you know it
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • A wider photo showing the entire bath

To get a price, send a couple of photos through our quote form or call us. We will say straight away if a repair is the right fix.

How to look after the repair

Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:

  • Give the bath a quick rinse after use
  • Have new chips seen to early
  • Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
  • Clean with warm water and a mild detergent

Use gentle, non-abrasive cleaners and try not to drop heavy bottles on the repair. Get any new chip seen to quickly, before rust sets in.

Rust under enamel spreads surprisingly quickly. A chip the size of a fingernail can become a much larger patch if it’s left for months, so it pays to deal with it early.

When we’d advise against a repair

It helps to know what we cannot do:

  • A whole bath that’s dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
  • Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
  • Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we cannot get to from below

Common problems we fix in SA14

Damage during fitting is very common. Tools, tiles and fittings get dropped into the bath, and the damage is not always spotted until later. Snagging repairs like these are a regular job for us.

If you can see any of these, send us a photo:

  • Damage beneath the taps
  • Impact holes in acrylic
  • Scuffs and scratches in the surface
  • A cracked acrylic bath
