Bath repair near Adstock

Bath repair at your home in Adstock

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. Most baths can be used again the next day. Common call-outs are for cracks in an acrylic bath and a failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting, in cast iron enamel, pressed steel enamel and roll-top & freestanding.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there is a problem and we’ll sort it.

What we cannot put right

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

  • Wear across the whole surface, which needs re-enamelling
  • A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
  • Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

What we work on

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

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

Composite and resin

Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour matched, in much the same way.

What affects the price in Adstock

Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Adstock. The price reflects:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • What the surface is made of
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

A repair normally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Getting a price from pictures

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Try to send:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

For a price in Adstock, the easiest route is pictures: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

Looking after it afterwards

Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:

  • Don’t leave razors or cans standing in the bath
  • Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
  • Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
  • Get any new chip repaired before it rusts

Treat the repaired area like the rest of the bath: warm water, washing-up liquid and a soft cloth. Keep scouring pads and gritty cleaners away from it.

A small chip is a quick job. Leave them and they collect dirt, stain and, on metal baths, rust, so early repair saves time and money.

Questions from Adstock

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

We review the photos and send a fixed quote with dates.

Do I have to be there?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Is my repair covered?

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.

When can you do it?

That depends on our diary for your area. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.

Do you repair coloured baths?

Yes. We mix the colour on the day to match, including pastel and older colours.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Yes, we frequently do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

Can you quote from pictures?

Usually, yes. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.

When can I have a bath again?

Most baths can be used the following day. We confirm the time before we leave.

DIY kit or professional repair?

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

Signs you need bath repair in Adstock

A bath gets knocked about more than you’d think: bottles, shower heads and razors are dropped every day, and fittings press hard against the enamel. Sooner or later, most baths pick up a chip.

Keep an eye out for any of the following:

  • Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
  • Snagging damage from a refit
  • Chips on the rim or sides
  • A kit repair that didn’t last

Questions to ask before booking

  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show

Our hiring checklist

How it works

We begin by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. After that, protection goes down around the work area and the work begins. It normally takes two to three hours for most chips, and we will keep you posted as we go.

  1. We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
  2. Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
  3. The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
  4. The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
  5. Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.

How to prepare

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Let us know about parking or access

Ask for a price

There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
