How we handle bath repair in Bishop Sutton

We see every kind of bath damage: chips from dropped bottles, rust round the plughole, cracks in acrylic and holes from falling tools. Each is repaired in place. Our repair technicians work on whirlpool & spa baths, pressed steel enamel and roll-top & freestanding, and common reasons people contact us are scratches you can feel with a fingernail and chips along the edge of the bath.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there is a problem and we’ll sort it.

What we do, step by step

Here’s how a visit usually runs: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and clear up. Allow a few hours from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.

  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. We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
  4. We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
  5. The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.

How to prepare

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Different materials, different repairs

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

Composite and resin

Composite baths are dense and solid, and often freestanding. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour matched, just like other baths.

Do you need bath repair in Bishop Sutton?

Baths take more knocks than people expect: bottles, shower heads and razors are dropped every day, and taps and wastes are tightened against the surface. Sooner or later, most baths pick up a chip.

These are the problems we are asked about most:

  • Impact holes in acrylic
  • Chips under the taps
  • Cracks in an acrylic bath
  • A kit repair that didn’t last

What your quote should include

  • What prep work is covered
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • What happens if they find more damage

10 questions to ask before you book

Can I fix it myself?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

Common questions in Bishop Sutton

Can you repair a crack in an acrylic bath?

Frequently, yes, if we can reach the underside to reinforce it. Take off the bath panel and check, or send us a photo.

Is a bath repair durable?

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

Do the materials smell?

It depends on the job, but often a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help.

What happens if you find more damage?

We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

Will you leave a mess?

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

How do I book?

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

Do you cover the entire of Bath and North East Somerset?

Across the UK, so Bishop Sutton is covered. Our prices are the same everywhere.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Normally, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so let us know about it.

What a repair can’t fix

Some jobs are not right for a repair, including:

  • Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
  • Cracks in acrylic we cannot reach from underneath
  • A steel bath rusted through

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

Surfaces we repair

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

Looking after it afterwards

Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:

  • Store metal items away from the bath
  • Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
  • Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
  • Put a towel in the bath if you are working above it

Keep metal objects like razors and cans off the surface, because they can mark the enamel. And fix dripping taps promptly.

Tape over a fresh chip or crack until it’s repaired, so water can’t get in. Remove it before the repair.

Work for landlords and builders

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Bath and North East Somerset and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

Repairing versus replacing in Bishop Sutton

Swapping a damaged bath for a new one normally involves a plumber, lifting out the old bath, making good the tiles and panel and getting rid of the old bath. Repairing it deals only with the damage in a single visit. Our bath repair starts from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Bishop Sutton. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
