About bath repair in SY19

Whatever the damage, the aim is the same: a smooth, solid repair that blends in. We prepare the area properly, fill and shape it, then match the colour and gloss so it’s level with the surrounding surface. We work on cast iron enamel, roll-top & freestanding and pressed steel enamel, and the jobs we see most are chips under the taps and impact holes in acrylic.

From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes two to three hours for most chips, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  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. We tint the finish on the day to suit your bath’s shade of white or colour.
  4. We build up the finish and polish it into the surrounding enamel.
  5. We leave it to cure; you can normally use the bath the following day.

Common problems we fix in SY19

Rust usually starts where water sits, around the waste, under the taps or in an old chip. Water on bare metal causes rust that creeps under the surrounding enamel.

Clients normally contact us about:

  • A hole punched through by something heavy
  • A chipped rim or side
  • Rust by the waste and overflow
  • An old repair that has yellowed or come loose

What bath repair costs

Repairs from £95. There’s no area surcharge for SY19. What changes the price is:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • The type of damage
  • Access to the area

The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Send pictures for a quote

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

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • A picture taken from further back
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

Email us a picture of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you are in SY19, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

Honest limits

A repair is not always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. We can’t fix:

  • A steel bath rusted through
  • Cracks in acrylic we can’t reach from underneath
  • A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense

Should you replace it?

Cast iron baths especially are worth keeping: getting one out, particularly from an upstairs bathroom, is a big job, and a like-for-like replacement can be expensive. Repairing it leaves it where it is.

Questions to ask before you book

  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • If travel is included in the price
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • What protection goes down before work starts

Questions from SY19

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

How long does the repair take to cure?

Most baths can be used the following day. We confirm the time before we leave.

Do you repair coloured baths?

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

Are there extra charges for SY19?

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

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just ensure the landlord agrees.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.

Is a cracked acrylic bath repairable?

In most cases. The back of the crack is strengthened before the front is filled and refinished, so we need access under the bath.
