How bath repair works in WV4

Most bath damage, from chips and cracks to rust spots and holes, is repaired in place. Nothing is unplumbed, the tiles are not touched, and the finish is matched to the rest of the bath. Our repair technicians work on acrylic, pressed steel enamel and roll-top & freestanding, and the jobs we see most are rust by the waste and overflow and a chip where the taps sit.

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, 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 protect the bath and the floor around it.
  2. The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased.
  3. Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
  4. We match both the colour and the shine.
  5. We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the following day.

Aftercare tips

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

  • Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
  • Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
  • Don’t scrub with anything abrasive
  • Have new chips seen to early

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

Avoid standing in a cracked acrylic bath until it’s fixed. Each time it flexes, the crack grows, and water can get through to the floor below.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.

How the damage happens

Rust tends to begin where water collects, by the plughole, beneath dripping taps or in an unrepaired chip. Water on bare metal causes rust that creeps under the surrounding enamel.

You may need us if you’ve spotted:

  • Chips caused by builders
  • Holes from dropped items
  • Rust spots around the plughole
  • A chip where the taps sit

When we’d advise against a repair

Not everything can be repaired, and we’ll tell you before we start. We cannot fix:

  • A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
  • Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
  • Wear across the entire surface, which needs re-enamelling

Work for landlords and builders

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in WV4 use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it generally costs far less than a refit.

Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
