Bath repair across UB4: what to expect

Most of our bath repairs take a few hours, and you can generally bathe again the following day. There’s no need to book a plumber or tiler, because nothing is disconnected. Our repair technicians work on pressed steel enamel, acrylic and whirlpool & spa baths, and the jobs we see most are an old repair that has yellowed or come loose and chips caused by builders.

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and get going once we’ve agreed what we’re doing. Most jobs take a few hours, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  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. Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.

Can I fix it myself?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

What we are called out for in UB4

Rust tends to begin where water collects, around the waste, under the taps or in an old chip. Water on bare metal causes rust that creeps under the surrounding enamel.

Most people contact us after spotting one of these:

  • A chip where the taps sit
  • Chips on the rim or sides
  • Snagging damage from a refit
  • An old repair that has yellowed or come loose

Repairs by material

Composite and resin

Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour matched, in much the same way.

Pressed steel

Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.

How we price bath repair

Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed price from pictures. This is what makes a difference:

  • The material and finish
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • The type of damage
  • Whether we combine several jobs

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Quotes from your pictures

Most quotes are done from photos alone. To make it quick:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Details of any past repairs
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

Most clients in UB4 get their price from pictures. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Aftercare tips

Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:

  • Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
  • Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
  • Have new chips seen to early
  • Do not scrub with anything abrasive

Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy items on the repaired area. Get any new chip seen to quickly, before rust can start.

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.
