Bath repair at your home in Merrylee

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 acrylic, roll-top & freestanding and whirlpool & spa baths, and people most often call us about damage caused while the bathroom was being fitted and chips from dropped bottles, tiles or tools.

Every repair is covered by our 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 can start.

Questions from Merrylee

What about rust by the waste?

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

When can I use it again after the repair?

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

Does someone need to be in?

Yes, usually. The technician needs access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.

Should I repair or replace?

Usually, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

How much does bath repair cost in Merrylee?

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

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

  • Cast iron enamel
  • Whirlpool & spa baths

What happens on the day

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 few hours. We clean up when we’re done and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. We start by cleaning the damage and taking out loose enamel and rust.
  2. The chip or crack is filled, then sanded level with the bath.
  3. We mix the colour on the day to match your bath’s exact shade.
  4. Finish coats go on, then the repair is polished to blend in.
  5. The repair is left to cure, and most baths can be used the next day.

Before we arrive

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Let us know about parking or access

How to get a price

Advice

Do you need bath repair in Merrylee?

Nearly all the chips we see comes from something dropped: a shampoo bottle, a shower head, a tile or a tool during a refit. On steel and cast iron baths, a chip that reaches 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.

People usually call us when they notice something like this:

  • Cracks and holes in acrylic baths
  • Damage caused while the bathroom was being fitted
  • Chips from dropped bottles, tiles or tools
  • Scratches and burns

What to look for in a quote

  • What prep work is covered
  • How the room is protected while we work
  • What aftercare is recommended
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT

Repairing versus replacing in Merrylee

Replacing a fitted bath normally involves a plumber, removing the old bath, making good the tiles and panel and disposing of the old one. A repair fixes just the damaged area in one visit. Prices start from £95. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
