Bath repair at your home in Fengate

A damaged bath does not have to mean a new bathroom. Our technicians fill, shape and refinish the damage, with the colour mixed on site. If you’re dealing with rust by the waste and overflow and damage done while the bathroom was being fitted, we can generally put it right.

You’re covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

The process

Once we are through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes a few hours, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. First, we check the damage against your pictures and agree the plan.
  2. Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
  3. The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
  4. The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
  5. Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.

How to prepare

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

Do you need bath repair in Fengate?

Dropped items cause the majority of chips, and building work is a common culprit. Acrylic baths crack for a different reason: the bath is not properly supported, so it flexes under weight.

Common reasons people in Fengate contact us include:

  • Chips along the edge of the bath
  • Impact holes in acrylic
  • Rust spots around the plughole
  • Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted

How to compare quotes

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. There is no area surcharge for Fengate. The price reflects:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • How many areas need work
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

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

Quotes from your photos

Before you send photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A wider photo showing the entire bath
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

Upload pictures of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you’re in Fengate, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

Repair or replace in Fengate?

A new bath costs more than the bath itself: removal and disposal, plumbing, a new panel, tiling and decorating. With a repair, it’s one visit and one price. Prices start from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Why book with us

  • One visit for most repairs
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • We leave the room as we found it

Should I try a DIY kit first?

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, then guarantee it for a year.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

What a repair cannot fix

It helps to know what we cannot do too:

  • Metal that has corroded all the way through
  • Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
  • Acrylic cracks with no access behind them

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

What we work on

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

Different materials, different repairs

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.

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are thick and very strong, with a fused enamel surface. Chips can rust if left, but the body of the bath lasts a very long time, so it’s always worth repairing.

FAQs for Fengate

Can you price it without visiting?

In nearly every case. If pictures don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

What do you need from me?

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

Can you redo an old repair?

Regularly. We strip it out, deal with any rust and repair it again.

Is it messy?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.

Do you hold any accreditations?

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

Do you repair coloured baths?

Yes, coloured baths are no problem. The colour is tinted by hand on the day.

Can you repair a hole in a bath?

In most cases. Send us a photo of the hole and one from under the bath if you can.

Will I be able to see the repair?

We aim for a repair you cannot easily find. The rest of the bath’s condition makes a difference, and we’ll tell you what to expect.

Keeping it looking good

Aftercare is simple:

  • Don’t leave razors or cans standing in the bath
  • Don’t leave a fresh chip for long
  • Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
  • Cover the bath during DIY or decorating

Treat the repaired area like the rest of the bath: a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs. Keep scouring pads and gritty cleaners away from it.

If an acrylic bath has a crack, stop showering in it until it’s repaired. Each time it flexes, the crack grows, and it can start to leak underneath.
