How we handle bath repair in Badbury

A repair fixes just the damaged area and blends it into the rest of the bath, which is far cheaper than replacing a fitted bath and the tiles around it. Most baths can be used again the day after. If you’re dealing with damage beneath the taps and a hole punched through by something heavy, we can typically put it right, on cast iron enamel, acrylic and whirlpool & spa baths alike.

All our work comes with a one-year guarantee.

DIY kit or professional repair?

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

Repair or replace: which is better?

When the bath is otherwise sound, repairing beats replacing. It’s quicker, cheaper and far less disruptive, and you keep the bath you chose. If the whole surface is worn, re-enamelling may make more sense, and we will tell you. Prices start from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Why us?

  • Work done at your home or business
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • Same prices wherever you are

Questions from Badbury

Is there any odour?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It fades as everything cures.

Can you repair a hole in a bath?

Typically. Photos of the hole and the underside help us check.

Is there a call-out fee?

Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Can you quote from photos?

Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.

Do you hold any accreditations?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

What happens on the day

Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so there are no surprises. Then the area is sheeted and masked and we start. You can expect it to take a few hours, and we’ll keep you posted as we go.

  1. We protect the bath and the floor around it.
  2. We clean, key and degrease the damage.
  3. Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
  4. We match both the colour and the shine.
  5. We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the next day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

How to get a price

Send us photos of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you are in Badbury, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

What we cannot put right

It helps to know what we cannot do too:

  • Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
  • A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
  • Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before you book.

Surfaces we repair

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

When to call us in Badbury

Damage during fitting is very common. Tradespeople drop tools and tiles into the bath, and the damage is not always spotted until later. Snagging repairs like these are a regular job for us.

Look out for these signs:

  • An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
  • Scuffs and scratches in the surface
  • Chips on the rim or sides
  • A cracked acrylic bath

Before you book anyone

  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • What happens if they find more damage

10 questions to ask before booking

What bath repair costs

Repairs from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • The material

Compared with replacing, repairing generally costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

How to get a fixed price

Photographing the damage takes a minute. Please include:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A photo taken from further back
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job.

Repairs by material

Pressed steel

Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.

Composite and resin

Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour-matched, just like other baths.

Keeping it looking good

It’s all simple stuff:

  • Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
  • Put a towel in the bath if you’re working above it
  • Check that an acrylic bath doesn’t move when you stand in it
  • Get a dripping tap fixed promptly

Keep metal objects like razors and cans off the surface, because they can mark the enamel. And fix dripping taps promptly.

If an acrylic bath has a crack, stop showering in it until it’s repaired. Each time it flexes, the crack grows, and it can start to leak underneath.
