How we price bath repair

Prices start from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • Access to the area
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • The colour and finish to match

Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

How to get a fixed quote

Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Try to send:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • A picture taken from further back
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

Most clients in Bourton get their price from photos. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Composite and resin

Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid, and frequently freestanding. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, in much the same way.

Pressed steel

Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.

Keeping it looking good

A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:

  • Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
  • Put a towel in the bath if you are working above it
  • Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
  • Have new chips seen to early

Use gentle, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy items on the repaired area. Get any new chip seen to quickly, before rust sets in.

Until we visit, a strip of waterproof tape over the damage helps, to keep water out. Take it off before we arrive.

Should you replace it?

People frequently assume a cracked or chipped bath has to come out. In most cases it does not: a proper repair gives it years more use, without the cost and upheaval of replacing it. Prices start from £95. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.

Why us?

  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • No extra charge for your area
  • One visit for most repairs
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor

Can I fix it myself?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

When to call us in Bourton

Rust typically starts where water sits, around the waste, under the taps or in an old chip. Water on bare metal causes rust that creeps under the surrounding enamel.

Look out for these signs:

  • Damage beneath the taps
  • Chips on the rim or sides
  • Rust spots around the plughole
  • A kit repair that didn’t last

What your quote should include

  • How to care for the finish
  • How the room is protected while they work
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT

Our hiring checklist

Bourton questions

How long does the repair take to cure?

Normally by the following day, though it depends on what we have done.

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across North Somerset.

Do you cover the entire of North Somerset?

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

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before and we will plan for it.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Typically, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

Do you come to Bourton?

Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Bourton. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.

How quickly can you book me in?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.

When we’d advise against a repair

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:

  • A whole bath that’s dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
  • Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
  • A steel bath rusted through

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

Surfaces we repair

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

What we do, step by step

We work cleanly and quietly, so you can carry on at home. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a few hours. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to look after it.

  1. First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
  2. The chip or crack is filled, then sanded level with the bath.
  3. The colour is mixed on the spot to match your bath.
  4. We apply the finish coats and polish the repair so it blends in.
  5. Once it has cured, typically by the next day, the bath is ready to use.

How to prepare

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
