Bath repair at your home in Bullingstone

Most bath damage, from chips and cracks to rust spots and holes, can be repaired with the bath left exactly where it is. Nothing is unplumbed, your tiles stay as they are, and the finish is matched to the rest of the bath. Whether it’s an old repair that has yellowed or come loose and a chipped rim or side, we can usually put it right.

You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Bullingstone as everywhere else we work.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

Your questions about bath repair in Bullingstone

Is it safe with children and pets around?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.

Is a bath repair permanent?

It should, as long as the bath is firm and the area was prepared well. It carries our one-year guarantee.

Is my repair covered?

All our work carries our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.

When can I have a bath again?

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

What happens next?

We review the photos and send a fixed quote.

Can you repair a chip on a coloured bath?

Yes. We mix the colour on the day to match, including pastel and older colours.

I tried a repair kit. Can you fix it?

Yes. We remove the old filler and start again. Tell us about it when you send photos.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing a fitted bath normally involves a plumber, lifting out the old bath, re-tiling and a new panel and getting rid of the old bath. A repair deals only with the damage in a single visit. Our bath repair starts from £95. 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 make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

What you get with us

  • Work done at your home or business
  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited

How we price bath repair

Repairs from £95. We price every job individually. What matters most is:

  • How many areas need work
  • The material and finish
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The type of damage

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before you book, with no extras added later.

Getting a price from photos

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and no obligation.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Bullingstone

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we’ll handle the rest.

What your bath is made of matters

Pressed steel

Pressed steel is thinner and lighter, with an enamel finish like cast iron. Chips rust quickly on steel, particularly by the plughole, so early repairs matter.

Cast iron

Cast iron is heavy and rigid, finished with fired enamel. Chips can rust if left, but the bath itself lasts for generations, which makes it well worth repairing.

Looking after it afterwards

Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:

  • Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
  • Have new chips seen to early
  • Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
  • Check that an acrylic bath doesn’t move when you stand in it

A repaired bath needs no special treatment, just sensible cleaning. Avoid bleach-based and gritty cleaners.

Do not leave a chip on a steel or cast iron bath. Water gets to the metal and rust starts, and a rust spot is a bigger repair than a clean chip.

Signs you need bath repair in Bullingstone

A cracked acrylic bath typically wasn’t supported properly. Legs that are not adjusted, a missing cradle or a soft floor let the bath move.

The most common problems we’re called about are:

  • Impact holes in acrylic
  • Snagging damage from a refit
  • A failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting
  • Rust spots around the plughole

What your quote should include

  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • How soon you can use it again
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT

Choosing a repair company

What we do, step by step

Here’s how a visit generally runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, do the job and tidy away. Plan for a morning or an afternoon. Before we go, we’ll explain when it can be used and how to look after it.

  1. We protect the bath and the floor around it.
  2. We clean, key and degrease the damage.
  3. Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
  4. Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
  5. We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the next day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Open a window if you can
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
