Should you replace it?

People frequently assume a cracked or chipped bath has to come out. In most cases it doesn’t: a proper repair gives it years more use, without the cost and upheaval of replacing it. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. We price every job individually. What matters most is:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The material and finish
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book, with no extras added later.

Quotes from your pictures

You can typically get a fixed quote without us visiting. To help us price it:

  • A photo taken from further back
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • What it’s made of, if you know

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole bath, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. 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.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

The process

Your technician turns up when we said we would, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. The work itself takes two to three hours for most chips, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. We protect the bath and the floor around it.
  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. We match both the colour and the shine.
  5. We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the day after.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Getting a price

Email us a picture of the damage and one of the entire item, with your SA37 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

Advice

Landlords, agents and businesses in Boncath

For anyone letting property in or around Boncath, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send photos for each one and we’ll come back with a combined price.

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

How to look after the repair

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
  • Make sure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
  • Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
  • Get any new chip repaired before it rusts

Care for the repair the same way as the bath: warm water, washing-up liquid and a soft cloth. Keep scouring pads and gritty cleaners away from it.

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

Do you need bath repair in Boncath?

Damage during fitting is very common. Tradespeople drop tools and tiles into the bath, frequently before anyone notices. Snagging repairs like these are a regular job for us.

People generally call us when they notice one of these:

  • An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
  • Chips on the rim or sides
  • Chips under the taps
  • Impact holes in acrylic

Questions to ask before booking

  • How long it needs to cure
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • Whether they match the colour on site

Choosing a repair company

Honest limits

It helps to know what we cannot do too:

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

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before you book.

Materials we repair

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

Questions from Boncath

Is a bath repair durable?

It should, as long as the bath is firm and the area was prepared well. It carries our one-year guarantee.

I tried a repair kit. Can you fix it?

Yes. We take out the old repair and do it properly. Mention it when you send pictures.

Are you a vetted contractor?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Typically, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.

Do you charge for travel?

Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.

Is it messy?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
