Bath repair for Bridstow homes

About our bath repair in Bridstow

It pays to repair bath damage while it’s small. Exposed metal on enamelled baths soon rusts, while cracks in acrylic grow each time the bath moves. Repairing it stops the damage getting worse. Typical jobs include a hole punched through by something heavy and chips on the rim or sides, on roll-top & freestanding, whirlpool & spa baths and acrylic.

You’re covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before booking.

Choosing a repair company

How to look after the repair

Looking after the surface is easy:

  • Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
  • If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
  • A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
  • Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath

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

Until we visit, a strip of waterproof tape over the damage helps, so water cannot get in. Take it off before we arrive.

FAQs for Bridstow

Is there a guarantee?

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Are you a vetted contractor?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

How long before I can use the bath?

Most baths can be used the next day. We confirm the time before we leave.

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders.

Can you repair a hole in a bath?

Typically, yes, if we can reach behind it. The hole is backed, filled and refinished to match.

Can you match an avocado or pink bath?

Yes. The colour is mixed on site to suit your bath, including older coloured suites.

Which areas do you work in?

Everywhere in the UK, Bridstow included. Travel is included in the price.

Can you repair a crack in an acrylic bath?

Usually, yes, if we can reach the underside to reinforce it. Take off the bath panel and check, or send us a photo.

The process

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you are not left guessing. Once we’re there, the work takes two to three hours for most chips in most cases. The room is left tidy and you will know when it can be used.

  1. We start by cleaning the damage and taking out loose enamel and rust.
  2. We fill the damage and sand it flush with the surrounding surface.
  3. We mix the colour on the day to match your bath’s exact shade.
  4. Finish coats go on, then the repair is polished to blend in.
  5. The repair is left to cure, and most baths can be used the day after.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

Getting a price

Should I try a DIY kit first?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

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, it’s worth having it done properly.

What we cannot put right

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

  • Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
  • Metal that has corroded all the way through
  • Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet

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

What we work on

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

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. The main factors are:

  • How much damage there is
  • What kind of damage it is
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.

Quotes from your photos

Phone photos are fine. Just ensure we can see:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • The material, if you know it
  • Where you are, by postcode

For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

What your bath is made of matters

Pressed steel

Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.

Cast iron

Cast iron is heavy and rigid, finished with fired enamel. A chip down to the iron can rust, but the body of the bath lasts a very long time, which makes it well worth repairing.
