Bath repair near Badminton

Bath repair in Badminton 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, the tiles are not touched, and the repaired area is colour matched so it blends in. Whether it’s rust spots around the plughole and a failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting, we can typically put it right.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.

We understand the appeal of fixing it 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.

Keeping it looking good

Aftercare is simple:

  • Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
  • Give the bath a quick rinse after use
  • If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
  • Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby

Don’t leave razors, cans or hair grips in the bath, as they can leave rust marks. A dripping tap should be fixed early, too.

Until we visit, a strip of waterproof tape over the damage helps, to keep water out. Take it off before we arrive.

When a repair isn’t the answer

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

  • A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
  • A steel bath rusted through
  • A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.

What we work on

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

Questions from Badminton

Is there a call-out fee?

We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed quote includes everything.

Is there any odour?

It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.

Is there a guarantee?

All our work carries our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

How long does the repair take to cure?

Usually the following day. We will tell you the exact curing time when we finish.

What does bath repair cost?

Prices start from £95. Every job gets a fixed quote based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.

Can you repair a hole in a bath?

Generally, yes, if we can reach behind it. We back the hole, fill it and refinish the surface.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

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

For landlords and businesses

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we’ll handle the rest.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

What affects the price in Badminton

Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • The material
  • How hard the colour is to match

A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

How to get a fixed price

The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:

  • The material, if you know it
  • Details of any past repairs
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. There is no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.

Why repair rather than replace?

Cast iron baths in particular are worth repairing: getting one out, particularly from an upstairs bathroom, is a big job, and replacing like for like isn’t cheap. Repairing it leaves it where it is. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Why Badminton clients choose us

  • Work done at your home or business
  • One price list for the entire UK
  • We leave the room as we found it
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Cast iron

Cast iron is heavy and rigid, with a fused enamel surface. Chips can rust if left, but the body of the bath lasts a very long time, which makes it well worth repairing.

Acrylic

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

What happens on the day

The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can carry on at home. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes a few hours, depending on the damage. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to look after it.

  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.

Before we arrive

  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
