How we handle bath repair in Bunwell Bottom

Chips, cracks, rust spots and small holes can be repaired with the bath left exactly where it is. There is no plumbing to disconnect, the tiles are not touched, and the repaired area is colour-matched so it blends in. Our repair technicians work on roll-top & freestanding, cast iron enamel and acrylic, and the jobs we see most are rust spots around the plughole and a cracked acrylic bath.

Every repair is covered by our one-year guarantee.

Keeping it looking good

Nothing complicated is needed:

  • Do not leave a fresh chip for long
  • Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
  • Do not scrub with anything abrasive
  • Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning

For the first few days, keep heavy bottles off the repaired spot. After that, normal gentle cleaning is fine.

If water is getting through a crack, stop using the bath. Water under the bath can damage the floor and the ceiling below.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. We price every job individually, from your pictures. What matters most is:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The type of damage
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Send photos for a quote

Phone photos are fine. Just ensure we can see:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • The material, if you know it
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

Most clients in Bunwell Bottom get their price from photos. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Should you replace it?

A repair makes sense whenever the damage is localised. It costs far less than a new bath plus fitting, it takes one visit, and nothing else in the room changes. Prices start from £95. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.

Why Bunwell Bottom clients choose us

  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • Typically one visit, start to finish
  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • Colour mixed on the day to match

DIY repairs versus a professional job

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

For landlords and businesses

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, pictures and access details and we will arrange it.

For anyone letting property in or around Bunwell Bottom, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send photos for each address and we will price them together.

The process

Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. Most visits take two to three hours for most chips, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. First, we check the damage against your photos and agree the plan.
  2. Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
  3. We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
  4. The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
  5. The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

Getting a price

You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

Related advice

Bunwell Bottom: your questions answered

Will the repair show?

We aim for a repair you cannot easily find. The rest of the bath’s condition makes a difference, and we will tell you what to expect.

Can rust on a bath be repaired?

Yes, it’s one of the most common repairs we do. The rust is cut back to clean metal and sealed before we fill and finish it.

Do you work in Bunwell Bottom?

We do. Repair technicians travel to Bunwell Bottom from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Will you leave a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.

Will there be a smell?

Expect a mild smell while we’re working, which fades afterwards.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted.

Do I have to be there?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.

Is a bath repair durable?

Yes, if it’s prepared properly and the bath is sound. It’s covered by our one-year guarantee.

What your bath is made of matters

Composite and resin

Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour matched, in much the same way.

Pressed steel

Pressed steel is thinner and lighter, with an enamel finish like cast iron. Exposed steel rusts fast, particularly by the plughole, so early repairs matter.

Honest limits

We would rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:

  • Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
  • Wear across the whole surface, which needs re-enamelling
  • A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed

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