Our bath repair service in SA39

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. Most baths can be used again the following day. Common call-outs are for deep scratches in acrylic and a kit repair that didn’t last, on whirlpool & spa baths, pressed steel enamel and roll-top & freestanding.

We agree an arrival time beforehand. On site, it takes a few hours in most cases. We leave the room clean and you will know when it can be used.

  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. The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
  4. The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
  5. The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.

Cost

Prices start from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for SA39. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

For landlords and businesses

If you manage property in SA39, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send pictures for each one and we will price them together.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

Keeping it looking good

Aftercare is simple:

  • Make sure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
  • Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
  • Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
  • Put a towel in the bath if you’re working above it

For the first few days, keep heavy bottles off the repaired spot. After that, clean it as you would the rest of the bath.

Don’t leave a chip on a steel or cast iron bath. Water gets to the metal and rust starts, and a rust spot is a bigger repair than a clean chip.

When we’d advise against a repair

We would rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:

  • Metal that has corroded all the way through
  • A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
  • A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The material and finish
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Quotes from your photos

When you take your pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • The material, if you know it
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Details of any past repairs

There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

Repairs by material

Pressed steel

Pressed steel is thinner and lighter, with an enamel finish like cast iron. Chips rust quickly on steel, especially around the waste, so repair chips early.

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that is what we repair.

SA39 questions

Is there a call-out fee?

We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.

Will the repair show?

The goal is a repair that blends in. How well it disappears depends on the condition of the rest of the bath.

Will the price change on the day?

Your quote covers the damage in the photos. If there’s more, we’ll tell you before starting.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Is there a guarantee?

Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Are you a vetted contractor?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

Can landlords book you?

Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
