Repairing versus replacing in Quayside
Swapping a damaged bath for a new one usually means a plumber, removing the old bath, re-tiling and a new panel and disposing of the old one. A repair fixes just the damaged area 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. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Bath repair in Quayside without replacing anything
You can usually use the bath 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. Our technicians work on pressed steel enamel, roll-top & freestanding and acrylic, and people most often call us about damage caused while the bathroom was being fitted and rust spots where the enamel has gone.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Quayside as everywhere else we work. Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and try not to drop heavy bottles on the repair. Get any new chip seen to quickly, before rust can start.

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 tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.
- We start by cleaning the damage and taking out loose enamel and rust.
- The chip or crack is filled, then sanded level with the bath.
- We tint the finish on the day to suit your bath’s shade of white or colour.
- We apply the finish coats and polish the repair so it blends in.
- The repair is left to cure, and most baths can be used the next day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Advice
Questions from Quayside
When can I use it again after the repair?
Usually by the next day, depending on what we’ve done. We’ll confirm the exact time when we finish.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes, usually. We need access to the room for the visit, and we’ll agree a time with you.
Should I repair or replace?
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.
Do you cover Quayside?
Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Quayside. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Will you leave a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and clean up before we leave.

Honest limits
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

Do you need bath repair in Quayside?
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, 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.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Chips from dropped bottles, tiles or tools
- Rust spots where the enamel has gone
- Scratches and burns
- Cracks and holes in acrylic baths
