How bath repair works in SA67

Most bath damage, from chips and cracks to rust spots and holes, can be repaired with the bath left exactly where it is. Nothing is unplumbed, the tiles aren’t touched, and the finish is matched to the rest of the bath. We are frequently asked to fix impact holes in acrylic and cracks in an acrylic bath, in pressed steel enamel, roll-top & freestanding and acrylic.

There is not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we will get on with it. Most visits take a few hours, including clearing up.

  1. We clean the area and remove any loose enamel or rust.
  2. Next we fill the damage and sand it smooth and level.
  3. We tint the finish on the day to suit your bath’s shade of white or colour.
  4. Finish coats go on, then the repair is polished to blend in.
  5. We leave it to cure; you can generally use the bath the day after.

Pricing in SA67

DIY repairs versus a professional job

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

Different materials, different repairs

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are thick and very strong, 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.

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

Honest limits

Not everything can be repaired, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:

  • Metal that has corroded all the way through
  • Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
  • Cracks in acrylic we can’t reach from underneath

Repairing versus replacing

Cast iron baths in particular are worth repairing: getting one out, particularly from an upstairs bathroom, is a big job, and a like-for-like replacement can be expensive. Repairing it leaves it where it is.

How we price bath repair

Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • What kind of damage it is
  • The material and finish
  • How hard the colour is to match

Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for SA67. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Quotes from your photos

Two or three clear photos are usually enough. It helps if you send:

  • A photo taken from further back
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos using our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
