Bath repair in Chipley

About our bath repair in Chipley

A repair fixes just the damaged area and blends it into the rest of the bath, which is far cheaper than replacing a fitted bath. You can typically use the bath the day after. We regularly repair roll-top & freestanding, whirlpool & spa baths and pressed steel enamel, and people most frequently call us about chips on the rim or sides and rust spots around the plughole.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Looking after it afterwards

Looking after the surface is easy:

  • Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
  • Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
  • Do not scrub with anything abrasive
  • Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale

In the first few days, avoid putting weight or bottles on the repair. After that, clean it as you would the rest of the bath without abrasive products.

Tape over a fresh chip or crack until it’s repaired, to keep water out. Remove it before the repair.

Questions from Chipley

Is there a call-out fee?

Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Something went through my bath. Can it be fixed?

Usually, yes, if we can reach behind it. We back the hole, fill it and refinish the surface.

Are you accredited?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

How long before I can use the bath?

Usually the day after. We confirm the time before we leave.

Is a cracked acrylic bath repairable?

Generally, yes, as long as we can get to the back of the crack to support it. Take off the bath panel and check, or send us a photo.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before and we will plan for it.

Do you cover Chipley?

Yes. We cover the whole UK and travel to Chipley and the rest of Somerset. Send pictures and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

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 bath repair costs

Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We look at:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • How much damage there is
  • How many items we do on one visit

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.

How to get a fixed quote

Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • The material, if you know it
  • Details of any past repairs
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

If you are in Chipley and want a price, photos are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Chipley

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

Repairs by material

Cast iron

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

Pressed steel

Steel baths are lighter than cast iron, but have a similar enamel surface. Chips rust quickly on steel, particularly by the plughole, so early repairs matter.

Can I fix it myself?

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.

What a repair cannot fix

In fairness, some problems need a different fix:

  • Cracks in acrylic we can’t reach from underneath
  • A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
  • Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.

What we work on

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

Repairing versus replacing in Chipley

Replacing a bath rarely stops at the bath: the tiles sitting on the rim tend to break, a new panel is frequently needed, and a plumber has to disconnect and reconnect everything. A repair skips all of it. Prices start from £95. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.

What you get with us

  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK

Read our prices page or resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.

The process

We begin by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we’re doing. Then the area is sheeted and masked and we start. It normally takes a few hours, depending on the damage.

  1. We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
  2. Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
  3. The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of 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.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

Ask for a price

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