Bath repair for Bourton homes

Bath repair at your home in Bourton

Whether your bath is steel, cast iron or acrylic, we can repair it. Each material is repaired a little differently: metal baths need any rust dealt with first, and acrylic cracks need support from behind. Typical jobs include a chipped rim or side and impact holes in acrylic, across cast iron enamel, acrylic and whirlpool & spa baths.

You’re covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before booking.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

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.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Swapping a damaged bath for a new one normally means a plumber, removing the old bath, re-tiling and a new panel and disposing of the old one. Repairing it fixes just the damaged area in one visit. Prices start from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

When a repair is not the answer

A repair isn’t right for every job, for example:

  • A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
  • Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we can’t get to from below
  • A steel bath rusted through

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.

FAQs for Bourton

Can you fix rust around the plughole?

Yes, it’s one of the most common repairs we do. The rust is cut back to clean metal and sealed before we fill and finish it.

Can you match an avocado or pink bath?

Yes, we match coloured baths too. The colour is tinted by hand on the day.

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes, for a year. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.

Will I be able to see the repair?

The goal is a repair that blends in. The rest of the bath’s condition makes a difference.

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.

Can you redo an old repair?

Yes, we do this often. We strip it out, deal with any rust and repair it again.

Will the price change on the day?

The price is fixed for what the photos show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

Keeping it looking good

To keep it looking its best:

  • Check that an acrylic bath doesn’t move when you stand in it
  • Give the bath a quick rinse after use
  • A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
  • Do not scrub with anything abrasive

Look after the repair the same way as the bath: warm water, washing-up liquid and a soft cloth. Avoid scourers and gritty cream cleaners.

A chip on a metal bath shouldn’t be left. Water gets to the metal and rust starts, turning a quick repair into a bigger one.

What we’re called out for in Bourton

Dropped items cause the majority of chips, and building work is a common culprit. Cracks in acrylic have a different cause: the bath isn’t properly supported, so it flexes under weight.

Look out for these signs:

  • Deep scratches in acrylic
  • Rust spots around the plughole
  • An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
  • Snagging damage from a refit

What your quote should include

  • Who turns up on the day
  • How soon you can use it again
  • How the colour is matched
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers

How to compare quotes

The process

Once we are through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes a few hours, depending on the damage, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  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. The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of 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.

Preparing for the visit

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Getting a price

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, add your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.

How we price bath repair

Prices start from £95. There is no charge for travel to Bourton. The price depends on:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The colour and finish to match
  • How easy the damage is to reach

Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Quotes from your pictures

Before you send pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

Send us a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you are in Bourton, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

Work for landlords and builders

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

If you manage property in Bourton, we will quote for several properties at once. Just send pictures for each address and we will price them together.
