Bath repair in Eastville

Your questions about bath repair in Eastville

Are you accredited?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

What happens after I send photos?

We come back with a fixed quote, plus dates. There’s no obligation to book.

What do you need from me?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.

Will it make a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.

Can you quote from pictures?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.

Is a bath repair durable?

It should, as long as the bath is firm and the area was prepared well. It’s covered by our one-year guarantee.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

Bath repair in Eastville, done in place

Bath repair is our most common job. Chips on the rim, rust around the waste and cracks in acrylic are all fixed without removing the bath, normally in one visit. If you are dealing with damage done while the bathroom was being fitted and scratches you can feel with a fingernail, we can help, on whirlpool & spa baths, acrylic and cast iron enamel alike.

Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Eastville and across Bristol.

Landlord and trade work in Eastville

Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

What a repair can’t fix

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
  • Metal that has corroded all the way through
  • Wear across the entire surface, which needs re-enamelling

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

Materials we work on in Eastville

  • Cast iron enamel
  • Whirlpool & spa baths

How the visit works

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, and get on with the job, which typically takes two to three hours for most chips. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.

  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. We leave it to cure; you can usually use the bath the following day.

How to prepare

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Ask for a price

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures through our quote form or ring us. We’ll say straight away whether it can be repaired.

How we price bath repair

Repairs from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • The type of damage
  • How much damage there is
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Eastville. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Getting a price from photos

We price nearly every job from photos. This is what to send:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

Email us pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your BS5 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

Repairs by material

Composite and resin

Composite baths are dense and solid, and frequently freestanding. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour matched, in much the same way.

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

Can I fix it myself?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

Repairing versus replacing in Eastville

Cast iron baths especially are worth keeping: getting one out, particularly from an upstairs bathroom, is a big job, and a like-for-like replacement can be expensive. Repairing it leaves it where it is. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Compared with replacing, repairing normally costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

What you get with us

  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • Repair technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • A year’s guarantee on all work

What we’re called out for in Eastville

A bath gets knocked about more than you’d think: everyday items get dropped into it all the time, and taps and wastes are tightened against the surface. Over time, chips and rust spots are almost inevitable.

Contact us if you’ve noticed any of these:

  • A chipped rim or side
  • An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
  • Rust by the waste and overflow
  • Damage beneath the taps
