Bath and surface repairs in WF1

Bath repair across WF1: what to expect

Repairing baths is what we do most. A chip by the taps, a crack in the base and a rust spot by the plughole are all repaired in place, generally in a single visit. Typical jobs include cracks in an acrylic bath and scuffs and scratches in the surface, on whirlpool & spa baths, acrylic and roll-top & freestanding.

Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so you know exactly what we’re doing. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and the work begins. Allow a morning or an afternoon.

1. First, we check the damage against your pictures and agree the plan.
2. Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
3. The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of 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.

How we price bath repair

Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:

• How much damage there is
• The material
• How many items we do on one visit
• What kind of damage it is

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 doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Quotes from your photos

Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Try to send:

• A close-up of the damage, in focus
• Any earlier repairs or coatings
• A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
• Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

How to look after the repair

To keep it looking its best for years:

• Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
• Store metal items away from the bath
• Don’t scrub with anything abrasive
• Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas

For the first few days, keep heavy bottles off the repaired spot. After that, clean it as you would the rest of the bath without abrasive products.

If water is getting through a crack, stop using the bath until it’s repaired. Leaks under a bath can damage floors and ceilings.
