How we handle bath repair in Eastcombe

A damaged bath does not have to mean a new bathroom. We fill the damage, shape it to the curve of the bath and refinish it, mixing the colour on the day so the repair is hard to spot. Common call-outs are for damage beneath the taps and impact holes in acrylic, in acrylic, roll-top & freestanding and cast iron enamel.

Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

What happens on the day

When we visit, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take a morning or an afternoon. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
  2. Next we fill the damage and sand it smooth and level.
  3. We mix the colour on the day to match your bath’s exact shade.
  4. We apply the finish coats and polish the repair so it blends in.
  5. The repair is left to cure, and most baths can be used the following day.

Before we arrive

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

Advice

Aftercare tips

So the finish stays in good condition:

  • Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
  • Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
  • Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
  • Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth

Do not leave razors, cans or hair grips in the bath, as they can leave rust marks. And fix dripping taps promptly.

Avoid standing in a cracked acrylic bath until it’s fixed. Every use opens the crack a little more, and water can get through to the floor below.

Eastcombe: your questions answered

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.

How much does bath repair cost in Eastcombe?

Repairs from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Do the materials smell?

It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.

Is a bath repair durable?

Done properly, a repair lasts for years, and ours come with a one-year guarantee. Gentle cleaning helps.

Is the work guaranteed?

All our work carries a one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.

Will the repair show?

On a bath in good condition, a colour matched repair is very hard to spot. On worn enamel, it can look shinier than the rest.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Nearly always. If pictures do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just make sure the landlord agrees.

Do you need bath repair in Eastcombe?

The usual cause is something heavy dropped into the bath, and a lot happen during bathroom refits. Cracks in acrylic have a different cause: the bath isn’t properly supported, so it flexes under weight.

Send us a picture if you notice any of these:

  • Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
  • An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
  • A cracked acrylic bath
  • Rusty patches near the plughole

10 questions to ask before you book

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

For landlords and businesses

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Repairs by material

Cast iron

Cast iron is heavy and rigid, finished with fired enamel. A chip down to the iron can rust, but the bath itself lasts for generations, which makes it well worth repairing.

Composite and resin

Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid, and often freestanding. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, in much the same way.

When a repair isn’t the answer

A repair is not always the answer, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:

  • Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we can’t get to from below
  • A steel bath rusted through
  • A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)

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

What we work on

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

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:

  • The material
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Access to the area
  • How hard the colour is to match

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Getting a price from photos

Before you send photos, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • A wider photo showing the whole bath
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Details of any past repairs
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

We price from photos so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.
