What affects the price in Apuldram
Repairs from £95. There is no charge for travel to Apuldram. The price depends on:
- What the surface is made of
- How many items we do on one visit
- Access to the area
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Getting a price from pictures
Before you send pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Any details about the material
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- One sharp close-up of the damage
Most customers in Apuldram get their price from photos. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.
How to look after the repair
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
- Have new chips seen to early
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
Leave the repair to cure for as long as we say before running a bath. From then on, mild cleaning is all it needs.
Small chips are quick to repair. Leave them and they collect dirt, stain and, on metal baths, rust, so early repair saves time and money.
The process
Here’s how a visit usually runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and clear up. Plan for two to three hours for most chips from start to finish. Before we go, we will explain when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased.
- Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
- Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
- We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, typically the next day.
How to prepare
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Let us know which floor the room is on
How to get a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole bath, include your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

Your questions about bath repair in Apuldram
Can you redo an old repair?
Yes, we do this often. The old material comes out, any rust is treated, then we repair it properly.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.
Do you come to Apuldram?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Apuldram for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
Are there extra charges for Apuldram?
There is no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.
How do I book?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
How long before I can use the bath?
Generally the next day. We confirm the time before we leave.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
What a repair cannot fix
We would rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
- Cracks in acrylic we cannot reach from underneath
- A steel bath rusted through
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Repairing versus replacing in Apuldram
Replacing a fitted bath usually means a plumber, removing the old bath, making good the tiles and panel and getting rid of the old bath. Repairing it fixes just the damaged area in a single visit. Our bath repair starts from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good.
