Our bath repair service in SG8

Small damage on a bath is worth repairing early. On steel and cast iron, exposed metal starts to rust, and on acrylic, a crack keeps spreading while the bath flexes. Repairing it stops the damage getting worse. Typical jobs include holes from dropped items and damage beneath the taps, across acrylic, pressed steel enamel and cast iron enamel.

Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so you know exactly what we are doing. After that, protection goes down around the work area and the work begins. Allow a few hours, depending on the damage, and we’ll keep you posted as we go.

  1. We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
  2. Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
  3. We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to 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.

Around Royston

Locally, our jobs take us to homes close to The White Bear pub, United Reformed Church and St Mary Roman Catholic Primary School, among other places. Royston has its own railway station: Royston station. Other landmarks nearby include Royston Museum (less than half a mile south-west). Open spaces near Royston include Fox Covert.

Work for landlords and builders

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

Signs you need bath repair

A bath gets knocked about more than you’d think: everyday items get dropped into it all the time, and fittings press hard against the enamel. Sooner or later, most baths pick up a chip.

Keep an eye out for any of the following:

  • Deep scratches in acrylic
  • Holes from dropped items
  • A chip where the taps sit
  • An old repair that has yellowed or come loose

How to care for the repair

Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:

  • Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
  • Don’t leave a fresh chip for long
  • Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
  • Cover the bath during DIY or decorating

Leave the repair to cure for as long as we say before using the bath. After that, gentle cleaning keeps it looking good.

If an acrylic bath has a crack, stop showering in it until it’s repaired. Every use opens the crack a little more, and water can get through to the floor below.

Should you replace it?

A new bath costs more than the bath itself: removal and disposal, plumbing, a new panel, tiling and decorating. With a repair, it’s one visit and one price.

SG8 questions

Which areas do you work in?

We work UK-wide, and that includes SG8. Our prices are the same everywhere.

Is a bath repair permanent?

A properly prepared repair should last a long time, and ours come with a one-year guarantee. Gentle cleaning helps.

Is the work guaranteed?

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

Will it make a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.

Will the repair show?

On a bath in good condition, a colour-matched repair is very hard to spot. On worn enamel, it can look shinier than the rest.

Is repairing better than replacing?

In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

What information do you need?

Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.
