Bath repair for Clandown homes

What happens on the day

On the day, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job typically takes a morning or an afternoon. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.

  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. We build up the finish and polish it into the surrounding enamel.
  5. We leave it to cure; you can normally use the bath the day after.

Before we arrive

  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

Advice

Bath repair in Clandown, done in place

A typical bath repair is a few hours’ work, and you can normally bathe again the next day. You will not need a plumber or tiler, because nothing is disconnected. Common call-outs are for cracks in an acrylic bath and rust by the waste and overflow, in cast iron enamel, pressed steel enamel and acrylic.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Clandown questions

Will there be a smell?

It depends on the job, but often a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders across Somerset.

What happens after I send pictures?

We come back with a fixed quote. You’re under no obligation.

I tried a repair kit. Can you fix it?

Yes. We remove the old filler and start again. Tell us about it when you send photos.

Can a cracked acrylic bath be fixed?

Most of the time. The back of the crack is strengthened before the front is filled and refinished, so we need access under the bath.

Can you repair a chip on a coloured bath?

Yes. We mix the colour on the day to match, including older coloured suites.

Will the repair last?

Yes, if it’s prepared properly and the bath is sound. It’s covered by our one-year guarantee.

Do you cover the entire of Somerset?

The entire UK, including all of Somerset. Send your postcode with your photos and we’ll confirm dates.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

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.

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.

Landlord and trade work in Clandown

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

If you manage property in Clandown, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Just send pictures for each address and we will price them together.

Should you replace it?

Swapping a damaged bath for a new one typically means a plumber, lifting out the old bath, re-tiling and a new panel and getting rid of the old bath. A repair deals only with the damage in a single visit. Our bath repair starts from £95. There are no surprise 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.

Aftercare tips

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
  • Ensure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
  • Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
  • Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath

There’s nothing special to do after a repair. Avoid bleach-based and gritty cleaners and rinse after use.

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

How we price bath repair

Prices start from £95. You’ll know the full cost before you book. We look at:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The size and number of damaged areas

What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.

Send pictures for a quote

Before you send photos, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Details of any past repairs
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Any details about the material

For a price in Clandown, the easiest route is pictures: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

When a repair isn’t the answer

Some jobs are not right for a repair, for example:

  • A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
  • Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
  • Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

Surfaces we repair

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

Should I try a DIY kit first?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
