Bath repair in Easton

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Cast iron

Cast iron is heavy and rigid, finished with fired enamel. Chips can rust if left, but the bath itself lasts for generations, so it’s always worth repairing.

Acrylic

Acrylic baths are moulded sheet reinforced underneath. They don’t rust, but they can crack, scratch or be holed, and a crack only stays repaired if it’s supported underneath.

Bath repair at your home in Easton

Bath repair is our most common job. Chips on the rim, rust around the waste and cracks in acrylic are all repaired in place, usually in a single visit. Whether it’s a chip where the taps sit and damage done while the bathroom was being fitted, we can generally put it right, on whirlpool & spa baths, cast iron enamel and pressed steel enamel alike.

We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

For landlords and businesses

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Easton use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it usually costs far less than a refit.

For anyone letting property in or around Easton, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Just send photos for each address and we’ll come back with a combined price.

Signs you need bath repair in Easton

Most bath damage comes from something dropped: a shampoo bottle, a shower head, a tile or a tool during a refit. On enamelled baths, a chip that reaches the metal will start to rust.

You may need us if you’ve spotted:

  • Rusty patches near the plughole
  • Damage beneath the taps
  • Scuffs and scratches in the surface
  • Hairline or through cracks in acrylic

Questions to ask before you book

  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • What aftercare is recommended
  • How your room will be protected
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges

10 questions to ask before booking

What we cannot put right

Some jobs are not right for a repair, for example:

  • A steel bath rusted through
  • 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 pictures and we’ll say what we think before booking.

How we price bath repair

Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • What the surface is made of
  • The colour and finish to match
  • What kind of damage it is

We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

How to get a fixed price

Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • Any details about the material
  • Details of any past repairs
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

Repairing versus replacing in Easton

A new bath brings a chain of other jobs: the tiles sitting on the rim tend to break, a new panel is often needed, and the plumbing has to be disconnected and refitted. A repair skips all of it. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Why book with us

  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • Repair technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • Colour-matched on site

FAQs for Easton

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

We review the photos and send a fixed quote.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

Your quote covers the damage in the photos. If there is more, we will tell you before starting.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

How much does bath repair cost in Easton?

Repairs from £95. Every job gets a fixed price from your pictures. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Typically, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Do I have to be there?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.

Can a cracked acrylic bath be fixed?

Generally, yes, if we can reach the underside to reinforce it. Check under the bath panel, or send us a photo.

Can you repair a failed DIY repair?

Yes, we do this often. The old material comes out, any rust is treated, then we repair it properly.

How the visit works

Once we are through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes a few hours, depending on the damage, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. We start by cleaning the damage and taking out loose enamel and rust.
  2. The chip or crack is filled, then sanded level with the bath.
  3. The colour is mixed on the spot to match your bath.
  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 next day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated

Can I fix it myself?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
