How bath repair works in SY11

We see every kind of bath damage: dropped-bottle chips, plughole rust, acrylic cracks and impact holes. All of it is repaired where the bath stands. Typical jobs include hairline or through cracks in acrylic and deep scratches in acrylic, in pressed steel enamel, acrylic and whirlpool & spa baths.

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a morning or an afternoon. If anything looks different from your photos, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.

  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 mix the colour on the day to match your bath’s exact shade.
  4. We apply the finish coats and polish the repair so it blends in.
  5. We leave it to cure; you can usually use the bath the following day.

Common problems we fix in SY11

Rust typically starts where water sits, by the plughole, beneath dripping taps or in an unrepaired chip. Once water reaches the steel or iron, rust spreads under the enamel.

Look out for any of the following:

  • A chip where the taps sit
  • Chips along the edge of the bath
  • Deep scratches in acrylic
  • Chips caused by builders

Keeping it looking good

Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:

  • If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
  • Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
  • Store metal items away from the bath
  • Do not leave a fresh chip for long

Look after the repair the same way as the bath: warm water, washing-up liquid and a soft cloth. Keep scouring pads and gritty cleaners away from it.

Rust under enamel spreads surprisingly quickly. A chip the size of a fingernail can become a much larger patch if it’s left for months, so it pays to deal with it early.

Repairs by material

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that’s the part we put right.

Composite and resin

Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, just like other baths.

How we price bath repair

Prices start from £95. There is no charge for travel to SY11. The price depends on:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • How many areas need work
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Whether we combine several jobs

A repair typically costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.

How to get a fixed quote

Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • One picture of the entire bath
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

For a price in SY11, 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.

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing a fitted bath normally involves a plumber, removing the old bath, making good the tiles and panel and disposing of the old one. Repairing it deals only with the damage in a single visit.

Your questions about bath repair in SY11

Are there extra charges for SY11?

No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.

What happens if you find more damage?

We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

Is a holed acrylic bath repairable?

Usually, yes, if we can reach behind it. We back the hole, fill it and refinish the surface.

Can you price it without visiting?

Nearly always. If pictures do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.

How soon can you come?

Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.

Can you redo an old repair?

Yes, we do this often. We strip it out, deal with any rust and repair it again.
