Bath repair across SA7: what to expect

A damaged bath doesn’t have to mean a new bathroom. We fill the damage, shape it to the curve of the bath and refinish it, with the colour mixed on site. Our technicians work on pressed steel enamel, roll-top & freestanding and whirlpool & spa baths, and people most often call us about an old repair that has yellowed or come loose and rusty patches near the plughole.

We turn up when we said we would, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your pictures first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. Most visits take two to three hours for most chips, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. We protect the bath and the floor around it.
  2. The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased, and any rust is treated.
  3. We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
  4. We match both the colour and the shine.
  5. We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the day after.

Pricing in SA7

Work for landlords and builders

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

What we are called out for in SA7

The usual cause is something heavy dropped into the bath, and a lot happen during bathroom refits. Acrylic baths crack for a different reason: the bath isn’t properly supported, so it flexes under weight.

Common reasons people in SA7 contact us are:

  • A hole punched through by something heavy
  • Chips on the rim or sides
  • Snagging damage from a refit
  • Rust spots around the plughole

How we price bath repair

Prices start from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The material and finish

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Send pictures for a quote

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • A wider photo showing the whole bath
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.

Should you replace it?

People frequently assume a cracked or chipped bath has to come out. In most cases it does not: a repair keeps the bath in service for years, and costs far less than the disruption of a replacement.

Questions to ask before you book

  • What prep work is covered
  • How the room is protected while they work
  • Whether the price covers travel
  • Whether they match the colour on site

What a repair can’t fix

It helps to know what we cannot do too:

  • A whole bath that is dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
  • Cracks in acrylic we cannot reach from underneath
  • A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)

SA7: your questions answered

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.

Will I be able to see the repair?

We aim for a repair you can’t easily find. How well it disappears depends on the condition of the rest of the bath, and we’ll tell you what to expect.

Is a holed acrylic bath repairable?

Usually, yes, if we can reach behind it. The hole is backed, filled and refinished to match.

Will there be a smell?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It clears as the materials cure.

Can you match an avocado or pink bath?

Yes, we match coloured baths too. The colour is tinted by hand on the day.

Is a bath repair durable?

Done properly, a repair lasts for years, and it’s guaranteed for a year. Gentle cleaning helps.
