Bath repair for Churcham homes

Looking after it afterwards

Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:

  • Don’t leave a fresh chip for long
  • Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
  • Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
  • Check that an acrylic bath doesn’t move when you stand in it

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 water can get through to the floor below.

Bath repair in Churcham without replacing anything

It pays to repair bath damage while it’s small. On steel and cast iron, exposed metal starts to rust, while cracks in acrylic grow each time the bath moves. Repairing it stops the damage getting worse. We regularly repair roll-top & freestanding, cast iron enamel and pressed steel enamel, and people most frequently call us about deep scratches in acrylic and a chipped rim or side.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re covered after the visit.

How we price bath repair

Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Churcham. What changes the price is:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • The material and finish
  • The type of damage
  • How many items we do on one visit

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Getting a price from pictures

The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • A picture taken from further back
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • What it’s made of, if you know

Send us a picture of the damage and one of the entire item, with your GL2 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

When we would advise against a repair

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
  • Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we can’t get to from below
  • Metal that has corroded all the way through

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before booking.

Materials we repair

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

  • One-year guarantee on every repair

FAQs for Churcham

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

Of course, and it normally saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and you’ll get one combined price.

Will the repair show?

The goal is a repair that blends in. How well it disappears depends on the condition of the rest of the bath.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We will tell you when the room can be used again.

What happens if you find more damage?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

Do you cover the entire of Gloucestershire?

Everywhere in the UK, Churcham included. There is no extra charge for travel.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Normally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.

Are you a vetted contractor?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

Repairs by material

Composite and resin

Composite baths are dense and solid, and often freestanding. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, just like other baths.

Pressed steel

Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.

What happens on the day

We begin by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we’re doing. After that, protection goes down around the work area and the work begins. Allow a morning or an afternoon, and we’ll tell you if anything changes.

  1. First, we check the damage against your photos and agree the plan.
  2. Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
  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. The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.

How to prepare

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

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

Keep an eye out for any of the following:

  • Chips caused by builders
  • Impact holes in acrylic
  • A cracked acrylic bath
  • A kit repair that didn’t last

Questions to ask before you book

  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • How to look after the finish
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT

How to compare quotes

DIY repairs versus a professional job

We understand the appeal of fixing it 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.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
