How we handle bath repair in Cape Hill

Most baths can be used again the next day. We repair just the damaged spot and colour-match it to the bath, which is far cheaper than replacing a fitted bath and the tiles around it. We work on acrylic, whirlpool & spa baths and cast iron enamel, and people most often call us about rust spots where the enamel has gone and damage caused while the bathroom was being fitted.

All our work comes with a one-year guarantee. Use gentle, non-abrasive cleaners and try not to drop heavy bottles on the repair. Get any new chip seen to quickly, before rust sets in.

What a repair can’t fix

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.

When to call us in Cape Hill

Most bath damage starts with something being dropped: a shampoo bottle, a shower head, a tile or a tool during a refit. On steel and cast iron baths, any chip down to the metal will start to rust once water gets in. Acrylic baths tend to crack if they aren’t properly supported, often around the taps or the plughole.

Most people get in touch after spotting one of these:

  • Rust spots where the enamel has gone
  • Damage caused while the bathroom was being fitted
  • Cracks and holes in acrylic baths
  • Chips from dropped bottles, tiles or tools

FAQs for Cape Hill

Do you work for landlords and businesses in Cape Hill?

Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.

Will you leave a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking before we start, and clean up before we leave.

Is the work guaranteed?

All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.

How soon can I use it again?

Usually the same day or the next, depending on what we’ve done. We’ll confirm the exact time when we finish.

Can you repair a crack in an acrylic bath?

Usually, yes, if we can reach the underside to reinforce it. Check under the bath panel, or send us a photo.

Can you fix rust around the plughole?

Yes. We remove the rust and loose enamel, fill the area, then colour-match the finish.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Usually, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing a fitted bath usually means a plumber, removing the old bath, making good the tiles and panel and getting rid of the old bath. Repairing it deals only with the damage in one visit. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.

  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor

How the visit works

On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job usually takes a morning or an afternoon. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
  2. Next we fill the damage and sand it smooth and level.
  3. We mix the colour on the day to match your bath’s exact shade.
  4. We apply the finish coats and polish the repair so it blends in.
  5. The repair is left to cure, and most baths can be used the next day.

How to prepare

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Open a window if you can
