Need bath repair in Brighthampton?

Should you replace it?

A new bath costs more than the bath itself: taking out the old one, plumbing, tiling, a panel and redecorating. With a repair, it’s one visit and one price. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Why book with us

  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • Generally one visit, start to finish
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job

The process

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you’re not left guessing. Once we’re there, the work takes two to three hours for most chips. The room is left tidy.

  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. We build up the finish and polish it into the surrounding enamel.
  5. The repair is left to cure, and most baths can be used the next day.

Getting ready for the visit

When a repair is not the answer

We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair won’t do:

  • A whole bath that’s dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
  • Metal that has corroded all the way through
  • Leaking fittings, which need a plumber

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before booking.

What we work on

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

Brighthampton questions

Do you repair coloured baths?

Yes, coloured baths are no problem. We tint the finish to your bath on site.

I tried a repair kit. Can you fix it?

Regularly. We strip it out, deal with any rust and repair it again.

Aftercare tips

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:

  • Check that an acrylic bath doesn’t move when you stand in it
  • Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
  • Give the bath a quick rinse after use
  • Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners

Leave the repair to cure for as long as we say before running a bath. From then on, mild cleaning is all it needs.

A chip on a metal bath shouldn’t be left. Once water reaches the metal, rust begins, turning a quick repair into a bigger one.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

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.

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll 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.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Brighthampton. The price depends on:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • What the surface is made of
  • The size and number of damaged areas

Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Quotes from your pictures

Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • A photo taken from further back
  • The material, if you know it
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, include your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.

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.

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
