Bath repair in Cucklington, done in place

You don’t need a new bath because of a chip. Our repair technicians fill, shape and refinish the damage, with the colour mixed on site so the repair is hard to spot. We regularly repair acrylic, roll-top & freestanding and cast iron enamel, and common reasons people contact us are deep scratches in acrylic and chips under the taps.

You’re covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before booking.

When we’d advise against a repair

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

  • Metal that has corroded all the way through
  • Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we can’t get to from below
  • Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath

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

What we work on

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

Can I fix it myself?

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

Aftercare tips

A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:

  • Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
  • If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
  • Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
  • Don’t leave razors or cans standing in the bath

Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy items on the repaired area. Deal with new chips early, before rust sets in.

A small chip is a quick job. Left alone, they stain and can rust, so it’s worth getting them done early.

When to call us in Cucklington

Baths take more knocks than people expect: everyday items get dropped into it all the time, and taps and wastes are tightened against the surface. Over time, chips and rust spots are almost inevitable.

If you can see any of these, send us a picture:

  • A hole punched through by something heavy
  • Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
  • Rust by the waste and overflow
  • Deep scratches in acrylic

Questions to ask before you book

  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • How the room is protected while they work
  • When it can be used again
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match

Choosing a repair company

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. There’s no area surcharge for Cucklington. The price reflects:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • The colour and finish to match
  • How much damage there is
  • Doing more than one item at once

Set against the cost of replacement, repairing typically costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

How to get a fixed price

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Any details about the material
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire bath, we can price the job without visiting.

The process

We turn up at the time we agreed with you and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. The work itself takes a morning or an afternoon, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
  2. Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
  3. We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
  4. We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
  5. Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.

Before we arrive

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

Ask for a price

Email us a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your BA9 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

Repairs by material

Pressed steel

Pressed steel is thinner and lighter, with an enamel finish like cast iron. Exposed steel rusts fast, particularly by the plughole, so early repairs matter.

Composite and resin

Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour matched, just like other baths.

Landlord and trade work in Cucklington

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
