How bath repair works in SA9

A typical bath repair is a few hours’ work, and the bath is back in use the day after. You won’t need a plumber or tiler, because the bath does not move. Common call-outs are for a kit repair that didn’t last and a chipped rim or side, across roll-top & freestanding, acrylic and whirlpool & spa baths.

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, then carry out the work, which usually takes a few hours. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.

  1. First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
  2. Next we fill the damage and sand it smooth and level.
  3. The colour is mixed on the spot to match your bath.
  4. Finish coats go on, then the repair is polished to blend in.
  5. Once it has cured, generally by the next day, the bath is ready to use.

Prices in SA9

Our bath repair starts from £95. 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.

Why book with us

  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • Generally one visit, start to finish
  • No extra charge for your area
  • One-year guarantee on every repair

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We look at:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • How many areas need work
  • The material

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. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.

Getting a price from photos

We price nearly every job from photos. This is what to send:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • One picture of the entire bath
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

If you are in SA9 and want a price, photos are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

DIY kit or professional repair?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

When we would advise against a repair

We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:

  • A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
  • 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 SA9

Many chips happen while the bathroom is being fitted. Tools, tiles and fittings get dropped into the bath, and the damage isn’t always spotted until later. Snagging repairs like these are a regular job for us.

Signs it’s time to call us include:

  • Damage beneath the taps
  • Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
  • A chipped rim or side
  • A kit repair that didn’t last

For landlords and businesses

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in SA9 use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit.

SA9: your questions answered

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. The rest of the house is unaffected.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send pictures.

Are you accredited?

We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

Do the materials smell?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.

Do you repair coloured baths?

Yes. We mix the colour on the day to match, including pastel and older colours.

Do I need to be at home?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

You get a fixed quote and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.
