Materials and what they mean for the repair

Composite and resin

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

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

How we handle bath repair in Chitterne

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. Typical jobs include chips on the rim or sides and cracks in an acrylic bath, in cast iron enamel, roll-top & freestanding and pressed steel enamel.

Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee.

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

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. This is what makes a difference:

  • The type of damage
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Access to the area

No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Send photos for a quote

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:

  • The material, if you know it
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

Most customers in Chitterne get their price from pictures. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Chitterne: your questions answered

How long before I can use the bath?

Normally by the following day, depending on the repair.

Do you work in Chitterne?

Yes. We work across the UK and come to Chitterne and the rest of Wiltshire. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Do you charge for travel?

We don’t add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.

How soon can you come?

That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.

Is a cracked acrylic bath repairable?

Generally, yes, as long as we can get to the back of the crack to support it. Check under the bath panel, or send us a photo.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Typically, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Which areas do you work in?

We work UK-wide, so Chitterne is covered. Our prices are the same everywhere.

What does bath repair cost?

Repairs from £95. Every job gets a fixed price based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your BA12 postcode.

Looking after it afterwards

Looking after the surface is easy:

  • Store metal items away from the bath
  • If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
  • Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
  • Cover the bath during DIY or decorating

Keep metal objects like razors and cans off the surface, because they can mark the enamel. And fix dripping taps promptly.

If an acrylic bath has a crack, stop showering in it until it’s repaired. Each time it flexes, the crack grows, and it can start to leak underneath.

Why repair rather than replace?

Cast iron baths in particular are worth repairing: getting one out, particularly from an upstairs bathroom, is a big job, and a like-for-like replacement can be expensive. Repairing it leaves it where it is. Prices start from £95. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking.

How the visit works

On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take a morning or an afternoon. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
  2. We fill the damage and sand it flush with the surrounding surface.
  3. The colour is mixed on the spot to match your bath.
  4. Finish coats go on, then the repair is polished to blend in.
  5. We leave it to cure; you can generally use the bath the day after.

How to prepare

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Open a window if you can
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

Advice

What we are called out for in Chitterne

Heavy toiletries are the biggest single cause of chips, closely followed by shower heads. Taps and wastes cause problems too: water sits around them, and any chip there soon rusts.

You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:

  • Rust by the waste and overflow
  • Chips caused by builders
  • Scuffs and scratches in the surface
  • A kit repair that didn’t last

What to look for in a quote

  • Whether the price covers travel
  • What happens if they find more damage
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • Who turns up on the day
