Book bath repair in Bathpool

How it works

Once we’re through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes a few hours, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  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. Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
  5. We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the following day.

How to prepare

  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

How to get a price

You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

Bath repair at your home in Bathpool

You do not need a new bath because of a chip. Our technicians fill, shape and refinish the damage, with the colour mixed on site. If you’re dealing with hairline or through cracks in acrylic and damage done while the bathroom was being fitted, we can help, whatever the material.

We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Rusty chip next to a bath plughole, before and after repair

When to call us in Bathpool

Acrylic baths that crack nearly always have a support problem. Legs that aren’t adjusted, a missing cradle or a soft floor let the bath move until it cracks.

Contact us if you’ve noticed any of these:

  • Scuffs and scratches in the surface
  • Snagging damage from a refit
  • Rust spots around the plughole
  • A cracked acrylic bath

What to look for in a quote

  • How the room is protected while they work
  • What prep work is covered
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • What happens if they find more damage

Choosing a repair company

Honest limits

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

  • Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
  • A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
  • Metal that has corroded all the way through

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before booking.

Materials we repair

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

What your bath is made of matters

Acrylic

An acrylic bath is a moulded sheet strengthened from below. They don’t rust, but they can crack, scratch or be holed, and cracks need support from behind to stay fixed.

Pressed steel

Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.

Bathpool: your questions answered

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Normally, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Can you price it without visiting?

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

Can you repair a chip on a coloured bath?

Yes, we match coloured baths too. The colour is tinted by hand on the day.

How much does bath repair cost in Bathpool?

Prices start from £95. We give a fixed price from your photos. Send a close-up and a photo of the entire item with your TA2 postcode.

Do I have to be there?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.

What about rust by the waste?

Yes, it’s one of the most common repairs we do. We take it back to sound metal, seal it, fill it and match the colour.

Which areas do you work in?

Across the UK. Prices don’t change with location.

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. A repair keeps it in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor

How we price bath repair

Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Bathpool. What changes the price is:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • How many items we do on one visit

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.

Getting a price from photos

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Please include:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole bath, we can price the job.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Bathpool

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, pictures and access details.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
