Should I try a DIY kit first?

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.

Bath repair in Chipping Sodbury without replacing anything

We repair enamelled steel, cast iron and acrylic baths. The method changes with the material: metal baths need any rust dealt with first, and acrylic cracks need support from behind. Whether it’s rust spots around the plughole and snagging damage from a refit, we can normally put it right, on roll-top & freestanding, pressed steel enamel and cast iron enamel alike.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re not left on your own once we’ve gone.

Chipping Sodbury: your questions answered

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

In nearly every case. If pictures do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send photos of everything you’d like done.

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across South Gloucestershire.

When can I have a bath again?

Usually the following day. We will tell you the exact curing time when we finish.

Do you cover Chipping Sodbury?

Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Chipping Sodbury. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.

What areas do you cover?

We work UK-wide, and that includes Chipping Sodbury. Our prices are the same everywhere.

What a repair can’t fix

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:

  • Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
  • Metal that has corroded all the way through
  • Acrylic cracks with no access behind them

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before you book.

What we work on

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

Keeping it looking good

Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:

  • Give the bath a quick rinse after use
  • Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
  • Store metal items away from the bath
  • Clean with warm water and a mild detergent

Leave the repair to cure for as long as we say before running a bath. From then on, mild cleaning is all it needs.

Until we visit, a strip of waterproof tape over the damage helps, so water can’t get in. Remove it before the repair.

What happens on the day

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which normally takes two to three hours for most chips. If anything looks different from your photos, we will talk to you before going ahead.

  1. First, we check the damage against your pictures 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. We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
  5. Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Should you replace it?

People frequently assume a cracked or chipped bath has to come out. In most cases it does not: a repair keeps the bath in service for years, without the cost and upheaval of replacing it. Our bath repair starts from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Why us?

  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • Normally one visit, start to finish
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • Work done at your home or business

Take a look at our full price list and resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.

How we price bath repair

Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How much damage there is
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

A repair generally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Send photos for a quote

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • One picture of the whole bath
  • Details of any past repairs
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire bath, include your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

Work for landlords and builders

If you manage property in Chipping Sodbury, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send pictures for each address and we’ll price them together.

Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Different materials, different repairs

Composite and resin

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

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
