Bath repair near Crewkerne

Should you replace it?

People frequently assume a cracked or chipped bath has to come out. In most cases it does not: a proper repair gives it years more use, and costs far less than the disruption of a replacement. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. We do not add 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.

Why us?

  • Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish

Bath repair in Crewkerne, done in place

Whether your bath is steel, cast iron or acrylic, we can repair it. The method changes with the material: rust is treated on metal baths, while cracks in acrylic are reinforced from underneath. We’re frequently asked to fix scratches you can feel with a fingernail and chips on the rim or sides, in roll-top & freestanding, whirlpool & spa baths and acrylic.

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

Should I try a DIY kit first?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

How it works

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and clear up. Allow a few hours, depending on the damage from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and how to look after it.

  1. First, we check the damage against your photos and agree the plan.
  2. Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
  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

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

Advice

Aftercare tips

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

  • Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
  • Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
  • Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
  • Clean with warm water and a mild detergent

Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and try not to drop heavy bottles on the repair. Get any new chip seen to quickly, before rust can start.

Rust under enamel spreads surprisingly quickly. A chip the size of a fingernail can become a much larger patch if it’s left for months, so early repair keeps the cost down.

When to call us in Crewkerne

Baths take more knocks than people expect: bottles, shower heads and razors are dropped every day, and taps and wastes are tightened against the surface. Sooner or later, most baths pick up a chip.

Most people get in touch after spotting one of these:

  • A kit repair that didn’t last
  • Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
  • Deep scratches in acrylic
  • A cracked acrylic bath

What your bath is made of matters

Composite and resin

Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour matched, in much the same way.

Acrylic

Acrylic baths are moulded sheet reinforced underneath. There’s no rust, but cracks, holes and scratches happen, and a crack only stays repaired if it’s supported underneath.

For landlords and businesses

Letting agents often send us photos 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.

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

What affects the price in Crewkerne

Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We look at:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • The material and finish
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • The size and number of damaged areas

Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.

Quotes from your photos

Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To make it quick:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • The material, if you know it

To get a price, send two or three photos through our quote form or call us. We will say straight away whether it can be repaired.

Crewkerne questions

Is my repair covered?

Yes, for a year. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

How long before I can use the bath?

Normally by the following day, though it depends on what we’ve done.

What happens after I send pictures?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote and the next dates we have.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.

Can you repair a chip on a coloured bath?

Yes. The colour is mixed on site to suit your bath, including pastel and older colours.

Is there any odour?

There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.

Can you repair a crack in an acrylic bath?

Normally, yes, if we can reach the underside to reinforce it. Take off the bath panel and check, or send us a photo.

Do I have to be there?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.
