Bath repair at your home in East Cranmore
It pays to repair bath damage while it’s small. 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. Typical jobs include an old repair that has yellowed or come loose and snagging damage from a refit, in acrylic, cast iron enamel and pressed steel enamel.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months in East Cranmore and everywhere else. We return to put right any problem with the work.

What else we do in East Cranmore
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, in much the same way.
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
What we can’t put right
A repair is not always the answer, and we will tell you before we start. Repairs won’t solve:
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
- A whole bath that’s dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

East Cranmore: your questions answered
Will it make a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
Can you repair a failed DIY repair?
Yes. We remove the old filler and start again. Mention it when you send pictures.
Are you accredited?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
How long does the repair take to cure?
Most baths can be used the following day. We confirm the time before we leave.
Can you quote from photos?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.
How do I get a price for bath repair in East Cranmore?
Repairs from £95. Every job gets a fixed price from your photos. Send a close-up and a picture of the entire item with your BA4 postcode.
What happens next?
We review the pictures and send a fixed quote and the next dates we have.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Landlords, agents and businesses in East Cranmore
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
For anyone letting property in or around East Cranmore, we will quote for several properties at once. Just send pictures for each address and we’ll come back with a combined price.
How it works
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we’ve agreed what we are doing. Most jobs take a few hours, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- We clean, key and degrease the damage, and any rust is treated.
- Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
- Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
- We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, typically the next day.
Preparing for the visit
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Point us to the nearest place to park
Ask for a price
To get a price, send two or three photos through our quote form or call us. We’ll say straight away whether it can be repaired.
Related advice
What affects the price in East Cranmore
Repairs from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How many areas need work
- How many items we do on one visit
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Getting a price from pictures
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To make it quick:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Details of any past repairs
- What it’s made of, if you know
For a price in East Cranmore, the easiest route is photos: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
Can I fix it myself?
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
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.
Why repair rather than replace?
When the bath is otherwise sound, repairing beats replacing. It costs less, takes less time and causes far less upheaval, and the bathroom stays as it is. Where the entire surface is tired, we may suggest re-enamelling instead. Our bath repair starts from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before you book.

Looking after it afterwards
It’s all simple stuff:
- Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
A repaired bath needs no special treatment. Avoid bleach-based and gritty cleaners and rinse after use.
Don’t leave a chip on a steel or cast iron bath. Once water reaches the metal, rust begins, turning a quick repair into a bigger one.
