Bath repair in Easton

How we handle bath repair in Easton

A damaged bath doesn’t 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. If you are dealing with cracks in an acrylic bath and a chip where the taps sit, we can help, whatever the material.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re covered after the visit.

Honest limits

It helps to know what we cannot do too:

  • A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
  • Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
  • Metal that has corroded all the way through

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

What we work on

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

Aftercare tips

So the finish stays in good condition:

  • A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
  • Rinse it down after each bath
  • Don’t leave razors or cans standing in the bath
  • Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath

Give the repair the full curing time we recommend before running a bath. From then on, mild cleaning is all it needs.

If water is getting through a crack, stop using the bath until it’s repaired. Water under the bath can damage the floor and the ceiling below.

When to call us in Easton

Rust tends to begin where water collects, around the waste, under the taps or in an old chip. Water on bare metal causes rust that creeps under the surrounding enamel.

Look out for any of the following:

  • Deep scratches in acrylic
  • Chips caused by builders
  • A hole punched through by something heavy
  • Cracks in an acrylic bath

What your quote should include

  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • When it can be used again
  • Who turns up on the day
  • How the room is protected while they work

10 questions to ask before you book

Why repair rather than replace?

Swapping a damaged bath for a new one typically means a plumber, removing the old bath, re-tiling and a new panel and disposing of the old one. Repairing it deals only with the damage in one visit. Prices start from £95. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.

What you get with us

How it works

Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so there are no surprises. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and the work begins. It normally takes a few hours, depending on the damage, and we’ll keep you posted as we go.

  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 tint the finish on the day to suit your bath’s shade of white or colour.
  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.

How to prepare

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

How to get a price

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Access to the area

A repair generally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Send pictures for a quote

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Try to send:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • The material, if you know it
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

Send us a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you are in Easton, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

Your questions about bath repair in Easton

Is a cracked acrylic bath repairable?

Most of the time. The back of the crack is strengthened before the front is filled and refinished, so we need access under the bath.

Is my repair covered?

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Can you repair a chip on a coloured bath?

Yes. The colour is mixed on site to suit your bath, including pastel and older colours.

What do you need from me?

Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.

Is a holed acrylic bath repairable?

Usually. Photos of the hole and the underside help us check.

How much does bath repair cost in Easton?

Prices start from £95. Every job gets a fixed quote based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your RG20 postcode.

What happens next?

We come back with a fixed quote, plus dates. You are under no obligation.

Do you hold any accreditations?

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

Work for landlords and builders

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Pressed steel

Steel baths are lighter than cast iron, but have a similar enamel surface. Exposed steel rusts fast, particularly by the plughole, so early repairs matter.

Composite and resin

Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, just like other baths.
