Materials and what they mean for the repair

Cast iron

A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that is the part we put right.

Pressed steel

Steel baths are lighter than cast iron, but have a similar enamel surface. Exposed steel rusts fast, especially around the waste, so repair chips early.

About our bath repair in Great Somerford

Chips, cracks, rust spots and small holes is repaired in place. Nothing is unplumbed, your tiles stay as they are, and the finish is matched to the rest of the bath. If you are dealing with a hole punched through by something heavy and damage beneath the taps, we can help, on roll-top & freestanding, acrylic and cast iron enamel alike.

Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Wiltshire and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

What a repair cannot fix

To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:

  • Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
  • Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
  • Wear across the entire surface, which needs re-enamelling

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.

What we work on

Do you need bath repair in Great Somerford?

A bath gets knocked about more than you’d think: bottles, shower heads and razors are dropped every day, and fittings press hard against the enamel. Sooner or later, most baths pick up a chip.

Send us a photo if you notice any of these:

  • A chip where the taps sit
  • A failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting
  • Chips on the rim or sides
  • Snagging damage from a refit

Our hiring checklist

What happens on the day

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and start once you are happy with the plan. It usually takes two to three hours for most chips, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.

  1. We protect the bath and the floor around it.
  2. The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased, and any rust is treated.
  3. We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
  4. We match both the colour and the shine.
  5. We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, generally the next day.

Before we arrive

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

Common questions in Great Somerford

Is repairing better than replacing?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

Are there extra charges for Great Somerford?

There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.

What information do you need?

Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we’ll take it from there.

Is a cracked acrylic bath repairable?

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

How long does the repair take to cure?

Usually the following day. We confirm the time before we leave.

Will I be able to see the repair?

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

Can you fix rust around the plughole?

Yes. We remove the rust and loose enamel, fill the area, then colour-match the finish.

How do I get a price for bath repair in Great Somerford?

Repairs from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You will get a fixed figure before you book.

Keeping it looking good

How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
  • If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
  • Store metal items away from the bath
  • Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning

Give the repair the full curing time we recommend before using the bath. From then on, mild cleaning is all it needs.

Rust spreads under enamel faster than most people expect. Left for months, a small chip can grow into a large rust patch, so it pays to deal with it early.
