Bath repair at your home in ST10

Whatever the damage, the aim is the same: a smooth, solid repair that blends in. Proper preparation, careful filling and shaping, then colour and gloss matching so it’s level with the surrounding surface. Our repair technicians work on acrylic, cast iron enamel and whirlpool & spa baths, and the jobs we see most are chips caused by builders and a kit repair that didn’t last.

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and clear up. Allow a morning or an afternoon. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and how to look after it.

  1. First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
  2. We fill the damage and sand it flush with the surrounding surface.
  3. The colour is mixed on the spot to match your bath.
  4. We build up the finish and polish it into the surrounding enamel.
  5. The repair is left to cure, and most baths can be used the next day.

What a repair can’t fix

Some jobs are not right for a repair, for example:

  • Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
  • A whole bath that is dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
  • Leaking fittings, which need a plumber

DIY repairs versus a professional job

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. 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.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

Signs you need bath repair

Dropped items cause the majority of chips, and a lot happen during bathroom refits. Acrylic baths crack for a different reason: the bath is not properly supported, so it flexes under weight.

Clients typically contact us about:

  • Chips on the rim or sides
  • Holes from dropped items
  • An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
  • Cracks in an acrylic bath

Looking after it afterwards

A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:

  • Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
  • Do not scrub with anything abrasive
  • Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
  • Rinse it down after each bath

There’s nothing special to do after a repair, just sensible cleaning. Skip bleach and gritty creams.

A chip on a metal bath shouldn’t be left. Once water reaches the metal, rust begins, and a rust spot is a bigger repair than a clean chip.

What affects the price in ST10

Repairs from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:

  • The type of damage
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • How much damage there is
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

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 play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

How to get a fixed quote

You can normally get a fixed quote without us visiting. To help us price it:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Details of any past repairs
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

ST10: your questions answered

Is it messy?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.

Can you match an avocado or pink bath?

Yes, coloured baths are no problem. We tint the finish to your bath on site.

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