Bath repair for East Coker homes

What we do, step by step

You do not need to empty the room. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and get going once we have agreed what we are doing. Most jobs take a few hours, depending on the damage, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. We protect the bath and the floor around it.
  2. The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased, and any rust is treated.
  3. We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
  4. We match both the colour and the shine.
  5. We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, typically the next day.

How to prepare

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Bath repair at your home in East Coker

We repair just the damaged spot and colour-match it to the bath, which costs far less than replacing a fitted bath and the tiles around it. Most baths can be used again the day after. Whether it’s holes from dropped items and chips under the taps, we can generally put it right.

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

What bath repair costs

Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:

  • The material
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • The colour and finish to match
  • The size and number of damaged areas

The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.

Getting a price from photos

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

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A wider photo showing the entire bath
  • Any details about the material
  • Something in shot to show the size

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole bath, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

When to call us in East Coker

Many chips happen while the bathroom is being fitted. Tools, tiles and fittings get dropped into the bath, often before anyone notices. Snagging repairs like these are a regular job for us.

Keep an eye out for these signs:

  • Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
  • Chips along the edge of the bath
  • A cracked acrylic bath
  • An old repair that has yellowed or come loose

Choosing a repair company

DIY kit or professional repair?

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

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

Keeping it looking good

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Give the bath a quick rinse after use
  • Check that an acrylic bath doesn’t move when you stand in it
  • Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
  • A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early

Keep metal objects like razors and cans off the surface, as they can leave rust marks. A dripping tap should be fixed early, too.

A small chip is a quick job. Left alone, they stain and can rust, so early repair saves time and money.

Landlords, agents and businesses in East Coker

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in East Coker as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it generally costs far less than a refit.

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

Honest limits

We would rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so these are the limits:

  • Cracks in acrylic we can’t reach from underneath
  • Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
  • A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense

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

What we work on

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

Repair or replace in East Coker?

Cast iron baths especially are worth keeping: they’re very heavy to remove, especially upstairs, and replacing like for like is not cheap. A repair keeps it in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You will see the full price before you book.

Why us?

  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job

Common questions in East Coker

Can you repair a chip on a coloured bath?

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

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Normally, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.

Is it messy?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.

Do you charge for travel?

No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Are you a vetted contractor?

We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just ensure the landlord agrees.

Do I have to be there?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
