Bath repair in Bridgefoot

Bath repair in Bridgefoot without replacing anything

Repairing baths is what we do most. A chip by the taps, a crack in the base and a rust spot by the plughole are all fixed without removing the bath, normally in one visit. We are often asked to fix a cracked acrylic bath and a chip where the taps sit, on whirlpool & spa baths, acrylic and roll-top & freestanding.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right, ring us and we will sort it.

Work for landlords and builders

If you manage property in Bridgefoot, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we will come back with a combined price.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access.

Honest limits

In fairness, there are a few things a repair will not fix:

  • Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
  • A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
  • A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.

Materials we repair

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

Should I try a DIY kit 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, it’s worth having it done properly.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

How we price bath repair

Prices start from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Bridgefoot. The price depends on:

  • How much damage there is
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • The material
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Send photos for a quote

Most quotes are done from photos alone. To make it quick:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

If you are in Bridgefoot and want a price, photos are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

What happens on the day

Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so you know exactly what we are doing. After that, protection goes down around the work area and the work begins. Allow two to three hours for most chips.

  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 tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, normally the day after.

How to prepare

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

How to get a price

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire bath, we can give you a fixed quote without visiting.

Why repair rather than replace?

For damage in one or two places, a repair is the obvious choice. It’s a fraction of the cost of a new bath and fitting, it takes one visit, and the bathroom stays exactly as it is. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Why book with us

  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures

Questions from Bridgefoot

Will there be a smell?

A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.

Do you charge for travel?

Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.

Will it make a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.

Can you repair a chip on a coloured bath?

Yes. We mix the colour on the day to match, including older coloured suites.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

The price is fixed for what the photos show. If there’s more, we will tell you before starting.

Will the repair show?

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

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

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

When to call us in Bridgefoot

A bath gets knocked about more than you’d think: bottles, shower heads and razors are dropped every day, and fittings press hard against the enamel. Over time, chips and rust spots are almost inevitable.

Clients normally contact us about:

  • Impact holes in acrylic
  • A failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting
  • Chips under the taps
  • Rust by the waste and overflow

Questions to ask before you book

  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • What preparation is included
  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?

How to compare quotes

Different materials, different repairs

Acrylic

Acrylic baths are moulded sheet reinforced underneath. They do not rust, but they can crack, scratch or be holed, and cracks need support from behind to stay fixed.

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that is what we repair.
