Bath repair near Bicknoller

What happens on the day

We agree an arrival time beforehand. On site, it takes two to three hours for most chips in most cases. We leave the room clean and ready to use once it has cured.

  1. First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
  2. Next we fill the damage and sand it smooth and level.
  3. We mix the colour on the day to match your bath’s exact shade.
  4. We apply the finish coats and polish the repair so it blends in.
  5. The repair is left to cure, and most baths can be used the following day.

Before we arrive

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

How we handle bath repair in Bicknoller

It pays to repair bath damage while it’s small. On steel and cast iron, exposed metal starts to rust, and on acrylic, a crack keeps spreading while the bath flexes. Repairing it stops the damage getting worse. We work on pressed steel enamel, roll-top & freestanding and cast iron enamel, and common reasons people contact us are damage done while the bathroom was being fitted and chips along the edge of the bath.

Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

FAQs for Bicknoller

How long before I can use the bath?

Typically the day after. We will tell you the exact curing time when we finish.

Do you come to Bicknoller?

Yes. We cover the entire UK and travel to Bicknoller and the rest of Somerset. Send pictures and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Can you repair a crack in an acrylic bath?

Most of the time. We reinforce the crack from behind, then fill and refinish the front, so access behind the panel is important.

How quickly can you book me in?

That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.

What areas do you cover?

We work UK-wide, and that includes Bicknoller. Prices don’t change with location.

How do I book?

Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

You’ll get a fixed quote back. You’re under no obligation.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

When a repair isn’t the answer

We would rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:

  • Wear across the whole surface, which needs re-enamelling
  • Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
  • A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed

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

Materials we repair

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

Common problems we fix in Bicknoller

Dropped items cause the majority of chips, and a lot happen during bathroom refits. Acrylic baths crack for a different reason: poor support underneath, so the bath flexes when it’s full.

The most common problems we are called about are:

  • Chips on the rim or sides
  • A failed DIY repair that is discoloured or lifting
  • Impact holes in acrylic
  • A cracked acrylic bath

How to compare quotes

Looking after it afterwards

To keep it looking its best for years:

  • Store metal items away from the bath
  • Rinse it down after each bath
  • Do not leave a fresh chip for long
  • Cover the bath during DIY or decorating

Don’t leave razors, cans or hair grips in the bath, because they can mark the enamel. And fix dripping taps promptly.

A chip on a metal bath shouldn’t be left. Water gets to the metal and rust starts, and a rust spot is a bigger repair than a clean chip.

For landlords and businesses

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Somerset and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing a fitted bath normally involves a plumber, lifting out the old bath, making good the tiles and panel and getting rid of the old bath. A repair fixes just the damaged area in one visit. Our bath repair starts from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Bicknoller. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Different materials, different repairs

Acrylic

An acrylic bath is a moulded sheet strengthened from below. There’s no rust, but cracks, holes and scratches happen, and a crack only stays repaired if it’s supported underneath.

Composite and resin

Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, just like other baths.

What bath repair costs

Prices start from £95. You’ll know the full cost before booking. We look at:

  • What the surface is made of
  • How many areas need work
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How easy the damage is to reach

What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

How to get a fixed quote

Two or three clear photos are normally enough. It helps if you send:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • The material, if you know it
  • A wider photo showing the entire bath

We price from photos so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.
