Bath repair for Burraton Coombe homes

Repairing versus replacing in Burraton Coombe

Replacing a bath rarely stops at the bath: the tiles sitting on the rim tend to break, the panel may not fit the new one, and the plumbing has to be disconnected and refitted. Repairing the damage avoids all of that. Our bath repair starts from £95. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book, with nothing added on the day.

What you get with us

  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • Typically one visit, start to finish
  • One-year guarantee on every repair

Bath repair in Burraton Coombe, done in place

It pays to repair bath damage while it’s small. Exposed metal on enamelled baths soon rusts, and on acrylic, a crack keeps spreading while the bath flexes. A repair stops both. Our technicians work on acrylic, whirlpool & spa baths and pressed steel enamel, and the jobs we see most are a failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting and cracks in an acrylic bath.

Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

What bath repair costs

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

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How much damage there is

A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Send photos for a quote

Before you send pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • One picture of the whole bath
  • Details of any past repairs
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire bath, add your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

What your bath is made of matters

Pressed steel

Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.

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.

What we’re called out for in Burraton Coombe

Most bath damage comes from something dropped: bottles, shower heads, tiles and tools. On enamelled baths, a chip that reaches the metal lets water in, and rust follows.

Contact us if you’ve noticed:

  • An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
  • Impact holes in acrylic
  • A chipped rim or side
  • Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted

Questions to ask before booking

  • How the colour is matched
  • How long it needs to cure
  • How changes to the job are handled
  • If travel is included in the price

Not everything can be repaired, and we will tell you before we start. We cannot fix:

  • Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

Questions from Burraton Coombe

Can you quote from photos?

Normally, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.

How long before I can use the bath?

Normally the next day. We’ll tell you the exact curing time when we finish.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.

Do you repair coloured baths?

Yes, we match coloured baths too. The colour is tinted by hand on the day.

Will there be a smell?

Expect a mild smell while we’re working that clears as it cures.

Do I have to be there?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

Can rust on a bath be repaired?

Yes, very often. The rust is cut back to clean metal and sealed before we fill and finish it.

What we do, step by step

You don’t need to empty the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we have agreed what we’re doing. It usually takes a morning or an afternoon, and you can get on with other things while we are there.

  1. We protect the bath and the floor around it.
  2. The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased.
  3. Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
  4. We match both the colour and the shine.
  5. We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the following day.

How to prepare

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated

Advice

Can I fix it myself?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

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.
