Bath repair in Bawdrip

How we handle bath repair in Bawdrip

Small damage on a bath is worth repairing early. Exposed metal on enamelled baths soon rusts, while cracks in acrylic grow each time the bath moves. A repair stops both. Whether it’s a hole punched through by something heavy and rusty patches near the plughole, 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.

Before and after: a damaged acrylic bath corner repaired in place

Can I fix it myself?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

What we’re called out for in Bawdrip

A cracked acrylic bath generally wasn’t supported properly. Loose legs, no proper cradle or a floor that gives let the base flex until the acrylic gives way.

These are the problems we are asked about most:

  • Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
  • Damage beneath the taps
  • A chipped rim or side
  • A cracked acrylic bath

Looking after it afterwards

Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:

  • Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
  • Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
  • A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
  • Cover the bath during DIY or decorating

Give the repair the full curing time we recommend before running a bath. After that, gentle cleaning keeps it looking good.

Stop using the bath if a crack lets water through until it’s repaired. Leaks under a bath can damage floors and ceilings.

Your questions about bath repair in Bawdrip

How soon can you come?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

Is there any odour?

A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Will you leave a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.

Can you match an avocado or pink bath?

Yes. We mix the colour on the day to match, including pastel and older colours.

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing a fitted bath normally means a plumber, removing the old bath, re-tiling and a new panel and getting rid of the old bath. A repair deals only with the damage in one visit. Our bath repair starts from £95. 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. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.

  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited

How it works

On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will take it from there. Most visits take a few hours, including clearing up.

  1. Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
  2. We clean, key and degrease the damage.
  3. We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
  4. We match both the colour and the shine.
  5. We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the following day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

Related advice

What your bath is made of matters

Acrylic

Acrylic baths are moulded sheet reinforced underneath. They do not rust, but they can crack, scratch or be holed, and a crack only stays repaired if it’s supported underneath.

Composite and resin

Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid, and frequently freestanding. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour matched, in much the same way.

When we’d advise against a repair

A repair is not right for every job, for example:

  • A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
  • Cracks in acrylic we can’t reach from underneath
  • A steel bath rusted through

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