Bath repair in Avoncliff, done in place

Small damage on a bath is worth repairing early. On steel and cast iron, exposed metal starts to rust, while cracks in acrylic grow each time the bath moves. A repair stops both. We regularly repair cast iron enamel, roll-top & freestanding and pressed steel enamel, and people most frequently call us about a kit repair that didn’t last and cracks in an acrylic bath.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months in Avoncliff and everywhere else. We return to put right any problem with the work.

What your bath is made of matters

Pressed steel

Steel baths are lighter than cast iron, but have a similar enamel surface. Exposed steel rusts fast, especially around the waste, so repair chips early.

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that is what we repair.

Common problems we fix in Avoncliff

Many chips happen while the bathroom is being fitted. Tradespeople drop tools and tiles into the bath, and the damage is not always spotted until later. We repair snagging damage like this regularly.

Contact us if you’ve noticed any of these:

  • Holes from dropped items
  • Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
  • Rust by the waste and overflow
  • Chips under the taps

Before you book anyone

  • How to look after the finish
  • How your room will be protected
  • What preparation is included
  • What happens if they find more damage

10 questions to ask before you book

What a repair can’t fix

We won’t take on work that will not last, so these are the limits:

  • Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
  • Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
  • Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.

What we work on

  • Pressed steel enamel

Your questions about bath repair in Avoncliff

Do you cover the whole of Wiltshire?

We work UK-wide, so Avoncliff is covered. Our prices are the same everywhere.

Can you repair a chip on a coloured bath?

Yes, coloured baths are no problem. The colour is tinted by hand on the day.

When can you do it?

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

Is a repair better than a new one?

In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.

Will I be able to see the repair?

On a glossy bath, you’ll struggle to find it. On worn enamel, it can look shinier than the rest.

Is a bath repair permanent?

It should, as long as the bath is firm and the area was prepared well. It’s covered by our one-year guarantee.

How long does the repair take to cure?

Most baths can be used the following day. We’ll tell you the exact curing time when we finish.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.

How we price bath repair

Prices start from £95. You will know the full cost before you book. We take into account:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Access to the area
  • How much damage there is

Set against the cost of replacement, repairing normally costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Quotes from your pictures

You can typically get a fixed price without us visiting. To help us price it:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Any details about the material
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. There’s no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Repair or replace: which is better?

If the rest of the bath is in good condition, a repair is almost always the better choice. It costs less, takes less time and causes far less upheaval, and the bathroom stays as it is. If the whole surface is worn, re-enamelling may make more sense, and we’ll tell you. Prices start from £95. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.

Keeping it looking good

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

  • Give the bath a quick rinse after use
  • Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
  • Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
  • Store metal items away from the bath

Do not leave razors, cans or hair grips in the bath, because they can mark the enamel. A dripping tap should be fixed early, too.

Small chips are quick to repair. Leave them and they collect dirt, stain and, on metal baths, rust, so it’s worth getting them done early.

The process

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you know when to expect us. On site, it takes a morning or an afternoon for most jobs. The room is left tidy.

  1. We clean the area and remove any loose enamel or rust.
  2. The chip or crack is filled, then sanded level with the bath.
  3. We mix the colour on the day to match your bath’s exact shade.
  4. Finish coats go on, then the repair is polished to blend in.
  5. We leave it to cure; you can typically use the bath the next day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Getting a price

We price from photos so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.
