Bath repair across SA37: what to expect

Repairing baths is what we do most. Chips on the rim, rust around the waste and cracks in acrylic are all repaired in place, normally in one visit. We work on pressed steel enamel, cast iron enamel and whirlpool & spa baths, and common reasons people contact us are a kit repair that didn’t last and rust by the waste and overflow.

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and get going once we’ve agreed what we are doing. It normally takes two to three hours for most chips, and you can get on with other things while we are there.

  1. We protect the bath and the floor around it.
  2. We clean, key and degrease the damage.
  3. Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
  4. Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
  5. We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the next day.

Different materials, different repairs

Cast iron

Cast iron is heavy and rigid, with a fused enamel surface. A chip down to the iron can rust, but the bath itself lasts for generations, which makes it well worth repairing.

Composite and resin

Composite baths are dense and solid, and often freestanding. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, in much the same way.

Looking after it afterwards

Aftercare is simple:

  • Store metal items away from the bath
  • If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
  • Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
  • Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners

Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy items on the repaired area. Get any new chip seen to quickly, before rust can start.

A small chip is a quick job. Left alone, they stain and can rust, so it’s worth getting them done early.

When we’d advise against a repair

We would rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so these are the limits:

  • A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
  • Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we can’t get to from below
  • Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath

What we’re called out for in SA37

Rust normally starts where water sits, around the waste, under the taps or in an old chip. Once water reaches the steel or iron, rust spreads under the enamel.

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

  • Chips caused by builders
  • Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
  • Cracks in an acrylic bath
  • A hole punched through by something heavy

Repair or replace?

A new bath brings a chain of other jobs: tiles along the rim typically crack when it comes out, the panel may not fit the new one, and a plumber has to disconnect and reconnect everything. A repair skips all of it.

What your quote should include

  • When it can be used again
  • Who will actually do the work
  • What happens if they find more damage
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
