What guarantee do I get?

What about rust by the waste?

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

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

How we handle bath repair in Powderhall

We repair just the damaged spot and colour-match it to the bath, which costs far less than replacing a fitted bath and the tiles around it. Most baths can be used again the next day. We work on whirlpool & spa baths, pressed steel enamel and roll-top & freestanding, and people most often call us about damage caused while the bathroom was being fitted and scratches and burns.

You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Powderhall as everywhere else we work. Use gentle, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy items on the repaired area. Get any new chip seen to quickly, before rust can start.

Do you need bath repair in Powderhall?

Most bath damage comes from something dropped: a shampoo bottle, a shower head, a tile or a tool during a refit. On enamelled baths, a chip that reaches the metal lets water in, and rust follows. Acrylic baths crack when they flex, often around the taps or the plughole.

Signs it’s time to call us include:

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

What your quote should include

  • What prep work is covered
  • When it can be used again
  • Aftercare advice

10 questions to ask before you book

Repairing versus replacing in Powderhall

Swapping a damaged bath for a new one normally involves a plumber, lifting out the old bath, re-tiling and a new panel and disposing of the old one. Repairing it fixes just the damaged area in a single visit. Prices start from £95. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Honest limits

Not everything can be repaired, and we’d rather say so up front. We can’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 photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.

What happens on the day

When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. 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. Next we fill the damage and sand it smooth and level.
  3. The colour is mixed on the spot to match your bath.
  4. We apply the finish coats and polish the repair so it blends in.
  5. Once it has cured, usually by the next day, the bath is ready to use.

How to prepare

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
