Bath repair for Falfield homes

About our bath repair in Falfield

Whether your bath is steel, cast iron or acrylic, we can repair it. Each material is repaired a little differently: metal baths need any rust dealt with first, and acrylic cracks need support from behind. We work on whirlpool & spa baths, cast iron enamel and pressed steel enamel, and people most frequently call us about holes from dropped items and cracks in an acrylic bath.

All our work comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Gloucestershire.

DIY kit or professional repair?

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

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing a bath rarely stops at the bath: tiles along the rim usually crack when it comes out, a new panel is often needed, and a plumber has to disconnect and reconnect everything. A repair skips all of it. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A repair typically costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.

What happens on the day

Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so there are no surprises. After that, protection goes down around the work area and the work begins. Allow a few hours.

  1. Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
  2. We clean, key and degrease the damage, and any rust is treated.
  3. Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
  4. We match both the colour and the shine.
  5. We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the day after.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Advice

Looking after it afterwards

It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:

  • Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
  • Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
  • Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
  • Don’t scrub with anything abrasive

Look after the repair the same way as the bath: warm water, washing-up liquid and a soft cloth. Keep scouring pads and gritty cleaners away from it.

A small chip is a quick job. Leave them and they collect dirt, stain and, on metal baths, rust, so it’s worth getting them done early.

What affects the price in Falfield

Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • The type of damage
  • How many areas need work
  • Whether we combine several jobs

We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Falfield. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Quotes from your photos

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

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Any details about the material
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Where you are, by postcode

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. There’s no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.

What your bath is made of matters

Pressed steel

Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.

Acrylic

An acrylic bath is a moulded sheet strengthened from below. They don’t rust, but they can crack, scratch or be holed, and a crack only stays repaired if it’s supported underneath.

Falfield: your questions answered

Can you redo an old repair?

Regularly. The old material comes out, any rust is treated, then we repair it properly.
