Bath repair near Adgestone

Bath repair in Adgestone, done in place

We repair just the damaged spot and colour-match it to the bath, which is far cheaper than replacing a fitted bath. You can typically use the bath the next day. Common call-outs are for rust spots around the plughole and a failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting, across whirlpool & spa baths, roll-top & freestanding and pressed steel enamel.

All our work is covered by our one-year guarantee.

What affects the price in Adgestone

Repairs from £95. We price every job individually. The main factors are:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • What kind of damage it is

Compared with replacing, repairing generally costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

FAQs for Adgestone

Is a holed acrylic bath repairable?

Usually, yes, if we can reach behind it. The hole is backed, filled and refinished to match.

Will the price change on the day?

We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

What about rust by the waste?

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

How long before I can use the bath?

Normally by the following day, depending on the repair.

Can landlords book you?

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

Is a cracked acrylic bath repairable?

Generally, yes, as long as we can get to the back of the crack to support it. Check under the bath panel, or send us a picture.

Do you cover the whole of Isle of Wight?

The whole UK, including all of Isle of Wight. Send your postcode with your photos and we will offer you dates.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Typically, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

Signs you need bath repair in Adgestone

Acrylic baths that crack nearly always have a support problem. Legs that aren’t adjusted, a missing cradle or a soft floor let the bath move until it cracks.

People generally call us when they notice something like this:

  • Scuffs and scratches in the surface
  • A chip where the taps sit
  • A kit repair that didn’t last
  • A hole punched through by something heavy

What your quote should include

  • What preparation is included
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
  • If travel is included in the price
  • Who will actually do the work

How to compare quotes

Landlords, agents and businesses in Adgestone

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

When a repair is not the answer

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
  • A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
  • A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

Materials we repair

  • Whirlpool & spa baths
  • Acrylic
  • Pressed steel enamel
  • Cast iron enamel
  • Roll-top & freestanding

Why repair rather than replace?

Cast iron baths in particular are worth repairing: they’re very heavy to remove, especially upstairs, and a like-for-like replacement can be expensive. Repairing it leaves it where it is. Our bath repair starts from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Why Adgestone customers choose us

  • Same prices wherever you are
  • No need to remove anything
  • One visit for most repairs
  • Work done at your home or business

Can I fix it myself?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

What we do, step by step

We turn up when we said we would, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. Most visits take a morning or an afternoon, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. We start by cleaning the damage and taking out loose enamel and 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 build up the finish and polish it into the surrounding enamel.
  5. We leave it to cure; you can generally use the bath the following day.

Before we arrive

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Advice

Looking after it afterwards

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:

  • Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
  • Rinse it down after each bath
  • A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
  • Don’t leave a fresh chip for long

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.

A chip on a metal bath shouldn’t be left. Water gets to the metal and rust starts, turning a quick repair into a bigger one.
