Bath repair in Burton without replacing anything

A typical bath repair is a few hours’ work, and the bath is back in use the day after. There is no need to book a plumber or tiler, because the bath does not move. We’re frequently asked to fix impact holes in acrylic and a failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting, on roll-top & freestanding, pressed steel enamel and cast iron enamel.

All our work is covered by our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Somerset.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Burton. The price depends on:

  • The type of damage
  • The material and finish
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Getting a price from photos

Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • The material, if you know it
  • A photo taken from further back

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.

How to look after the repair

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:

  • Have new chips seen to early
  • A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
  • Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
  • Don’t scrub with anything abrasive

Care for the repair the same way as the bath: a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs. Avoid scourers and gritty cream cleaners.

Tape over a fresh chip or crack until it’s repaired, so water cannot get in. Remove it before the repair.

Burton questions

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.

Something went through my bath. Can it be fixed?

Generally. Send us a picture of the hole and one from under the bath if you can.

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.

What does bath repair cost?

Repairs from £95. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

How invisible is a bath repair?

On a glossy bath, you will struggle to find it. On older, dull enamel the repair can look glossier than the area around it.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. If there is more, we’ll tell you before starting.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.

Landlord and trade work in Burton

For anyone letting property in or around Burton, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Just send photos for each address and we’ll come back with a combined price.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

When to call us in Burton

A cracked acrylic bath usually wasn’t supported properly. Loose legs, no proper cradle or a floor that gives let the base flex until it cracks.

Look out for any of the following:

  • Damage beneath the taps
  • Rust by the waste and overflow
  • Cracks in an acrylic bath
  • Chips on the rim or sides

Comparing quotes

  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • When it can be used again
  • Aftercare advice
  • Whether a trained technician does the job

Choosing a repair company

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Composite and resin

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

Cast iron

A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that is what we repair.

How the visit works

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you are not left guessing. On site, it takes a morning or an afternoon. The room is left tidy and ready to use once it has cured.

  1. First, we check the damage against your photos and agree the plan.
  2. Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
  3. We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
  4. The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
  5. Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.

Before we arrive

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated

Getting a price

What we can’t put right

A repair is not right for every job, including:

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

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.

What we work on

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

Can I fix it myself?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
