About our bath repair in Bishopstone

Whatever has happened to the bath, we aim for the same result: a smooth, solid repair that blends in. We prepare the area properly, fill and shape it, then match the colour and gloss so it sits flush with the rest of the bath. We are frequently asked to fix deep scratches in acrylic and a failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting, on cast iron enamel, roll-top & freestanding and pressed steel enamel.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard.

Bath enamel chip by the waste, filled and colour matched (before and after)

Keeping it looking good

To keep it looking its best for years:

  • Do not leave razors or cans standing in the bath
  • Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
  • Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
  • Have new chips seen to early

Leave the repair to cure for as long as we say before using the bath. From then on, mild cleaning is all it needs.

A small chip is a quick job. Left alone, they stain and can rust, so early repair saves time and money.

DIY kit or professional repair?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

When a repair isn’t the answer

Not everything can be repaired, and we’d rather say so up front. We cannot fix:

  • A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
  • Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
  • Acrylic cracks with no access behind them

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

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Bishopstone. The price comes down to:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

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.

How to get a fixed quote

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:

  • A wider photo showing the whole bath
  • The material, if you know it
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole bath, we can give you a fixed price.

Different materials, different repairs

Pressed steel

Steel baths are lighter than cast iron, but have a similar enamel surface. Chips rust quickly on steel, particularly by the plughole, so repair chips early.

Composite and resin

Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid, and often freestanding. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour-matched, just like other baths.

Questions from Bishopstone

Do you come to Bishopstone?

Yes, we do. We send a technician to Bishopstone for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

Your quote covers the damage in the photos. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

Do you hold any accreditations?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

Do you cover the whole of Buckinghamshire?

Across the UK, so Bishopstone is covered. Prices do not change with location.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

Can landlords book you?

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

Is there a call-out fee?

We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.

How it works

On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll take it from there. Most visits take a few hours, including clearing up.

  1. Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
  2. The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased, 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 tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, usually the following day.

How to prepare

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

Get a quote

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. There is no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.

Advice

Why repair rather than replace?

A new bath costs more than the bath itself: removal and disposal, plumbing, a new panel, tiling and decorating. With a repair, it’s one visit and one price. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before booking, with no extras added later.

Why Bishopstone customers choose us

  • One visit for most repairs
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
