Bath repair for Batherton homes

How we handle bath repair in Batherton

We repair just the damaged spot and colour-match it to the bath, which is far cheaper than replacing a fitted bath and the tiles around it. Most baths can be used again the next day. We regularly repair roll-top & freestanding, whirlpool & spa baths and pressed steel enamel, and common reasons people contact us are deep scratches in acrylic and hairline or through cracks in acrylic.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

What affects the price in Batherton

Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How easy the damage is to reach

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Send pictures for a quote

We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what to send:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • One picture of the whole bath
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. There is no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.

FAQs for Batherton

Are there extra charges for Batherton?

We don’t add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

Is a repair better than a new one?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

Can you repair a chip on a coloured bath?

Yes. The colour is mixed on site to suit your bath, including pastel and older colours.

How invisible is a bath repair?

On a glossy bath, you’ll struggle to find it. On older, dull enamel the repair can look glossier than the area around it.

Something went through my bath. Can it be fixed?

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

Will the repair last?

A properly prepared repair should last a long time, and ours come with a one-year guarantee. Gentle cleaning helps.

How quickly can you book me in?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.

For landlords and businesses

For anyone letting property in or around Batherton, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send pictures for each address and we will price them together.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

How the visit works

We agree an arrival time beforehand. On site, it takes a morning or an afternoon in most cases. We leave the room clean and you’ll know when it can be used.

  1. Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
  2. We clean, key and degrease the damage, and any rust is treated.
  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 following day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

How to get a price

There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

What your bath is made of matters

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are thick and very strong, finished with fired enamel. Chips can rust if left, but the bath itself lasts for generations, so it’s always worth repairing.

What a repair can’t fix

A repair is not right for every job, including:

  • A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
  • Metal that has corroded all the way through
  • Cracks in acrylic we cannot reach from underneath

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

Surfaces we repair

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

Can I fix it myself?

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

Should you replace it?

Cast iron baths especially are worth keeping: they’re very heavy to remove, especially upstairs, and a like-for-like replacement can be expensive. Repairing it leaves it where it is. Prices start from £95. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.

Do you need bath repair in Batherton?

Dropped items cause the majority of chips, and building work is a common culprit. Cracks in acrylic have a different cause: poor support underneath, so the bath flexes when it’s full.

Contact us if you’ve noticed:

  • Rust by the waste and overflow
  • Damage beneath the taps
  • Chips caused by builders
  • Scuffs and scratches in the surface

What your quote should include

  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • Aftercare advice
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
