Trusted bath repair in Escott

What bath repair costs

Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:

  • The material
  • The type of damage
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

A repair usually costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Quotes from your pictures

You can take the photos on your phone, there is no need for anything special. Ensure they show:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Any details about the material
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

Email us a picture of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you’re in Escott, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

Bath repair in Escott without replacing anything

We repair enamelled steel, cast iron and acrylic baths. The method changes with the material: rust is treated on metal baths, while cracks in acrylic are reinforced from underneath. We work on whirlpool & spa baths, pressed steel enamel and acrylic, and common reasons people contact us are scuffs and scratches in the surface and chips under the taps.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months in Escott and everywhere else. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Pressed steel

Pressed steel is thinner and lighter, with an enamel finish like cast iron. Chips rust quickly on steel, particularly by the plughole, so early repairs matter.

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that is what we repair.

When a repair isn’t the answer

To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:

  • Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
  • Metal that has corroded all the way through
  • A whole bath that is dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.

Do you need bath repair in Escott?

Most bath damage comes from something dropped: bottles, shower heads, tiles and tools. On steel and cast iron baths, any chip down to the metal will start to rust.

Look out for these signs:

  • Chips caused by builders
  • Cracks in an acrylic bath
  • Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
  • A hole punched through by something heavy

Before booking anyone

  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • How the room is protected while they work
  • What prep work is covered

Choosing a repair company

What we do, step by step

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you are not left guessing. On site, it takes two to three hours for most chips for most jobs. We leave the room clean and ready to use once it has cured.

  1. We start by cleaning the damage and taking out loose enamel and rust.
  2. We fill the damage and sand it flush with the surrounding surface.
  3. We tint the finish on the day to suit your bath’s shade of white or colour.
  4. We build up the finish and polish it into the surrounding enamel.
  5. The repair is left to cure, and most baths can be used the following day.

Before we arrive

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Open a window if you can

Related advice

Should I try a DIY kit first?

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. 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.

Common questions in Escott

How do I book?

Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.

Will the repair last?

Yes, if it’s prepared properly and the bath is sound. It’s covered by our one-year guarantee.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Do you cover the whole of Somerset?

We cover the entire UK, including Escott and the rest of Somerset. Just include your postcode and we will offer you dates.

Can you match an avocado or pink bath?

Yes, coloured baths are no problem. We tint the finish to your bath on site.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

The price is fixed for what the photos show. If there is more, we’ll tell you before starting.

Will the repair show?

On a bath in good condition, a colour matched repair is very hard to spot. On older, dull enamel the repair can look glossier than the area around it.

Do you do work for letting agents?

We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Escott

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Somerset and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Keeping it looking good

Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:

  • Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
  • Don’t leave a fresh chip for long
  • Put a towel in the bath if you are working above it
  • Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath

Do not leave razors, cans or hair grips in the bath, because they can mark the enamel. And fix dripping taps promptly.

If water is getting through a crack, stop using the bath until it’s repaired. Leaks under a bath can damage floors and ceilings.
