Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • The type of damage
  • Access to the area
  • How much damage there is

A repair generally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Getting a price from pictures

When you take your pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • A picture taken from further back
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Any details about the material

There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

About our bath repair in Broadwell

We repair just the damaged spot and colour-match it to the bath, which is far cheaper than replacing a fitted bath. You can generally use the bath the next day. Our technicians work on acrylic, pressed steel enamel and cast iron enamel, and people most frequently call us about chips along the edge of the bath and hairline or through cracks in acrylic.

Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Broadwell and across Gloucestershire.

Before and after: a chipped, rust-stained bath around the plughole

Looking after it afterwards

How the surface is treated afterwards matters:

  • Don’t leave razors or cans standing in the bath
  • Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
  • Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
  • Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth

Keep metal objects like razors and cans off the surface, as they can leave rust marks. A dripping tap should be fixed early, too.

Stop using the bath if a crack lets water through until it’s repaired. Water under the bath can damage the floor and the ceiling below.

Landlord and trade work in Broadwell

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

What we are called out for in Broadwell

Baths take more knocks than people expect: everyday items get dropped into it all the time, and taps and wastes are tightened against the surface. Sooner or later, most baths pick up a chip.

If you can see any of these, send us a photo:

  • Scuffs and scratches in the surface
  • Rust spots around the plughole
  • Snagging damage from a refit
  • A cracked acrylic bath

What your quote should include

  • How soon you can use it again
  • If travel is included in the price
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • What happens if they find more damage

Choosing a repair company

What a repair cannot fix

It helps to know what we cannot do too:

  • 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)
  • Leaking fittings, which need a plumber

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

What we work on

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

How it works

You do not need to empty the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and start once you’re happy with the plan. It generally takes a few hours, depending on the damage, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.

  1. We protect the bath and the floor around it.
  2. The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased.
  3. We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
  4. Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
  5. We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, normally the day after.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Advice

DIY kit or professional repair?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.

Questions from Broadwell

Will the repair show?

The goal is a repair that blends in. The rest of the bath’s condition makes a difference, and we will tell you what to expect.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.

Is a cracked acrylic bath repairable?

In most cases. The back of the crack is strengthened before the front is filled and refinished, so we need access under the bath.

Can you repair a hole in a bath?

Normally. Photos of the hole and the underside help us check.

Do you repair coloured baths?

Yes, we match coloured baths too. We tint the finish to your bath on site.

Is there any odour?

Expect a mild smell while we’re working.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.

Can you price it without visiting?

Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.

Repairs by material

Composite and resin

Composite baths are dense and solid, and often freestanding. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, in much the same way.

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.
