How we handle bath repair in Bellevue

We repair just the damaged spot and colour-match it to the bath, which costs far less than replacing a fitted bath. Most baths can be used again the next day. Our technicians work on cast iron enamel, roll-top & freestanding and pressed steel enamel, and people most often call us about cracks and holes in acrylic baths and rust spots where the enamel has gone.

A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover. Use gentle, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy items on the repaired area. Deal with new chips early, before rust sets in.

Bellevue questions

How do I get a price for bath repair in Bellevue?

Repairs from £95. We give a fixed price based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up and a photo of the whole item and your postcode, and we’ll reply with the price.

Can you repair a crack in an acrylic bath?

Often, yes, as long as we can get to the back of the crack to support it. Take off the bath panel and check, or send us a photo.

Can you fix rust around the plughole?

Yes. We take out the rust and any loose enamel, seal and fill the area, then colour-match the finish.

How soon can I use it again?

Usually by the next day, depending on the job. We’ll confirm the exact time when we finish.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

Do I need to be at home?

Yes, usually. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, and we’ll agree a time with you.

What guarantee do I get?

All our work carries our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Signs you need bath repair in Bellevue

Nearly all the chips we see comes from something dropped: bottles, shower heads, tiles and tools. On enamelled baths, a chip that reaches the metal will start to rust once water gets in. Acrylic baths, on the other hand, tend to crack if they aren’t properly supported, often around the taps or the plughole.

Most people get in touch when they notice something like this:

  • Rust spots where the enamel has gone
  • Chips from dropped bottles, tiles or tools
  • Scratches and burns
  • Damage caused while the bathroom was being fitted

Questions to ask before you book

  • How the room is protected while we work
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers

10 questions to ask before you book

When we’d advise against a repair

To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:

  • Cracks in acrylic we can’t reach from underneath
  • A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
  • A whole bath that’s dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

Repairing versus replacing in Bellevue

Swapping a damaged bath for a new one normally involves a plumber, removing the old bath, re-tiling and a new panel and disposing of the old one. Repairing it fixes just the damaged area in one visit. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

How it works

When we visit, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take a morning or an afternoon. We clean up when we’re done and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. We clean the area and remove any loose enamel or rust.
  2. We fill the damage and sand it flush with the surrounding surface.
  3. We tint the finish on the day to suit your bath’s shade of white or colour.
  4. Finish coats go on, then the repair is polished to blend in.
  5. Once it has cured, usually by the next day, the bath is ready to use.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Open a window if you can
