Book bath repair in Compton Greenfield

How it works

The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can stay at home while we’re there. We protect the area first, then the work takes two to three hours for most chips. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to look after it.

  1. Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
  2. The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased, and any rust is treated.
  3. Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
  4. Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
  5. We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the next day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Advice

How we handle bath repair in Compton Greenfield

Small damage on a bath is worth repairing early. On steel and cast iron, exposed metal starts to rust, and on acrylic, a crack keeps spreading while the bath flexes. Repairing it stops the damage getting worse. We work on whirlpool & spa baths, pressed steel enamel and cast iron enamel, and people most often call us about rust by the waste and overflow and scuffs and scratches in the surface.

Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

Repair or replace: which is better?

People frequently assume a cracked or chipped bath has to come out. In most cases it doesn’t: a repair keeps the bath in service for years, and costs far less than the disruption of a replacement. Prices start from £95. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before you book.

What you get with us

  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • One visit for most repairs
  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures

How we price bath repair

Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • How much damage there is
  • Access to the area

What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.

Quotes from your pictures

When you take your pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • The material, if you know it
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A wider photo showing the entire bath

Send us a photo of the damage and one of the whole item, with your BS35 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

What a repair cannot fix

Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits:

  • A whole bath that is dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
  • Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
  • Acrylic cracks with no access behind them

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

What your bath is made of matters

Pressed steel

Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.

Acrylic

An acrylic bath is a moulded sheet strengthened from below. There is no rust, but cracks, holes and scratches happen, and a crack only stays repaired if it’s supported underneath.

How to care for the repair

Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:

  • Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
  • Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
  • Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
  • Have new chips seen to early

Give the repair the full curing time we recommend before using the bath. After that, gentle cleaning keeps it looking good.

Small chips are quick to repair. Leave them and they collect dirt, stain and, on metal baths, rust, so it’s worth getting them done early.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, 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 won’t last.

Landlord and trade work in Compton Greenfield

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
