Bath repair in Alvediston

Aftercare tips

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:

  • Put a towel in the bath if you are working above it
  • Rinse it down after each bath
  • Make sure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
  • Do not leave razors or cans standing in the bath

For the first few days, keep heavy bottles off the repaired spot. After that, clean it as you would the rest of the bath without abrasive products.

Tape over a fresh chip or crack until it’s repaired, to keep water out. Take it off before we arrive.

Bath repair in Alvediston without replacing anything

Most bath damage, from chips and cracks to rust spots and holes, can be repaired with the bath left exactly where it is. There is no plumbing to disconnect, your tiles stay as they are, and the repaired area is colour-matched so it blends in. If you’re dealing with rusty patches near the plughole and damage beneath the taps, we can help.

We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

What we do, step by step

On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job generally takes a morning or an afternoon. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
  2. Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
  3. We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
  4. The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
  5. The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.

How to prepare

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Your questions about bath repair in Alvediston

When can you do it?

That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.

Do you repair coloured baths?

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

Is there a call-out fee?

No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Do you cover Alvediston?

Yes. We cover the entire UK and come to Alvediston. Send photos and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders across Wiltshire.

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.

Are you accredited?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

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

What we’re called out for in Alvediston

Most bath damage comes from something dropped: bottles, shower heads, tiles and tools. On steel and cast iron baths, a chip that reaches the metal lets water in, and rust follows.

Get in touch if you’ve noticed any of these:

  • Chips on the rim or sides
  • Rust by the waste and overflow
  • Chips under the taps
  • An old repair that has yellowed or come loose

How to compare quotes

What affects the price in Alvediston

Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Alvediston. What changes the price is:

  • What the surface is made of
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Access to the area

Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Alvediston. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Quotes from your pictures

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Try to send:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A wider photo showing the whole bath
  • Details of any past repairs
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

We price from photos so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Cast iron

A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that is what we repair.

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

What a repair can’t fix

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • Wear across the whole surface, which needs re-enamelling
  • Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
  • Acrylic cracks with no access behind them

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

What we work on

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