Bath repair near Farley

Looking after it afterwards

A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:

  • If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
  • Store metal items away from the bath
  • Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
  • Put a towel in the bath if you’re working above it

There is nothing special to do after a repair. Avoid bleach-based and gritty cleaners and rinse after use.

If an acrylic bath has a crack, stop showering in it until it’s repaired. Every use opens the crack a little more, and water can get through to the floor below.

Bath repair at your home in Farley

Bath repair is our most common job. A chip by the taps, a crack in the base and a rust spot by the plughole are all fixed without removing the bath, normally in one visit. We work on pressed steel enamel, acrylic and roll-top & freestanding, and common reasons people get in touch are deep scratches in acrylic and a chipped rim or side.

Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before booking.

Repairing versus replacing in Farley

A repair makes sense whenever the damage is localised. It’s a fraction of the cost of a new bath and fitting, it’s done in one visit, and the bathroom stays exactly as it is. Our bath repair starts from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Why us?

  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • Work done at your home or business
  • Same prices wherever you are
  • We leave the room as we found it

Repairs by material

Pressed steel

Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.

Composite and resin

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

Farley questions

Will it make a mess?

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

Do you cover the whole of Wiltshire?

We work UK-wide, and that includes Farley. Prices do not change with location.

How do I book?

Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787.

Can a cracked acrylic bath be fixed?

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

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

What happens after I send photos?

You’ll get a fixed quote back, typically with dates to choose from. You are under no obligation.

Will the price change on the day?

If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.

Do the materials smell?

Expect a mild smell while we’re working, which fades afterwards.

For landlords and businesses

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

When a repair is not the answer

It helps to know what we cannot do:

  • A steel bath rusted through
  • Wear across the whole surface, which needs re-enamelling
  • Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

Materials we repair

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

When to call us in Farley

Many chips happen while the bathroom is being fitted. Tradespeople drop tools and tiles into the bath, frequently before anyone notices. We repair snagging damage like this regularly.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • A kit repair that didn’t last
  • Rust by the waste and overflow
  • Scuffs and scratches in the surface
  • Chips under the taps

Before you book anyone

  • What prep work is covered
  • How the room is protected while they work
  • When it can be used again
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show

How to compare quotes

What happens on the day

We turn up when we said we would, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. Most visits take a few hours, depending on the damage, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. First, we check the damage against your pictures and agree the plan.
  2. Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
  3. We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
  4. We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
  5. Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.

Preparing for the visit

  • Open a window if you can
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Ask for a price

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole bath, include your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
