Bath repair in Botolphs, done in place

You don’t need a new bath because of a chip. We fill the damage, shape it to the curve of the bath and refinish it, mixing the colour on the day so the repair is hard to spot. We regularly repair whirlpool & spa baths, roll-top & freestanding and cast iron enamel, and people most frequently call us about damage done while the bathroom was being fitted and holes from dropped items.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are covered after the visit.

What we cannot put right

To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:

  • Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we cannot get to from below
  • A steel bath rusted through
  • Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

Surfaces we repair

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

What affects the price in Botolphs

Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Botolphs. What changes the price is:

  • The material and finish
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The size and number of damaged areas

There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Quotes from your photos

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Please include:

  • One picture of the entire bath
  • Details of any past repairs
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

If you’re in Botolphs and want a price, pictures are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

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.

Botolphs: your questions answered

Is it messy?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.

Are there extra charges for Botolphs?

No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Can rust on a bath be repaired?

Yes, very frequently. We take it back to sound metal, seal it, fill it and match the colour.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

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

What happens after I send pictures?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote with dates.

When can you do it?

Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.

How much does bath repair cost in Botolphs?

Repairs from £95. Every job gets a fixed quote based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.

How long does the repair take to cure?

Typically the following day. We confirm the time before we leave.

What we do, step by step

From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes a few hours, depending on the damage, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. First, we check the damage against your photos and agree the plan.
  2. Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
  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

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

Ask for a price

Send us photos of the damage and one of the whole item, with your BN44 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

Do you need bath repair in Botolphs?

Heavy toiletries are the biggest single cause of chips. Fittings cause damage too: water collects there, so chips nearby rust quickly.

Get in touch if you’ve noticed any of these:

  • A kit repair that didn’t last
  • Snagging damage from a refit
  • Rust spots around the plughole
  • Cracks in an acrylic bath

Before you book anyone

  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • Who turns up on the day
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers

Our hiring checklist

Repair or replace: which is better?

A repair makes sense whenever the damage is localised. It’s a fraction of the cost of a new bath and fitting, it’s done in one visit, and nothing else in the room changes. Our bath repair starts from £95. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You will see the full price before you book.

What you get with us

  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • Everything repaired in place

Different materials, different repairs

Composite and resin

Composite baths are dense and solid, and frequently freestanding. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour matched, in much the same way.

Pressed steel

Steel baths are lighter than cast iron, but have a similar enamel surface. Exposed steel rusts fast, particularly by the plughole, so early repairs matter.
