Our bath repair service in UB3

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 sits flush with the rest of the bath. We’re often asked to fix rusty patches near the plughole and chips under the taps, in whirlpool & spa baths, roll-top & freestanding and cast iron enamel.

Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you and checks the damage against your pictures first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. The work itself takes two to three hours for most chips, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. We protect the bath and the floor around it.
  2. We clean, key and degrease the damage.
  3. We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
  4. We match both the colour and the shine.
  5. We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, usually the next day.

Repairs by material

Composite and resin

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

Pressed steel

Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.

How we price bath repair

Repairs from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to UB3. The price comes down to:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • The colour and finish to match
  • How much damage there is
  • The type of damage

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking, with nothing added on the day.

Send photos for a quote

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

  • The material, if you know it
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • One picture of the entire bath

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole bath, we can give you a fixed price.

Keeping it looking good

How the surface is treated afterwards matters:

  • Don’t leave a fresh chip for long
  • Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
  • Don’t leave razors or cans standing in the bath
  • Clean with warm water and a mild detergent

Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy items on the repaired area. Deal with new chips early, before rust sets in.

Tape over a fresh chip or crack until it’s repaired, so water cannot get in. Take it off before we arrive.

When we’d advise against a repair

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:

  • A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
  • Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
  • Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)

DIY kit or professional repair?

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Your questions about bath repair in UB3

Is a cracked acrylic bath repairable?

In most cases. The back of the crack is strengthened before the front is filled and refinished, so access behind the panel is important.

How do I book?

Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

Can you quote from photos?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.

When can I have a bath again?

Generally the following day. We confirm the time before we leave.

What happens next?

You’ll get a fixed quote back, normally with dates to choose from. You’re under no obligation.

Will there be a smell?

There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.
