Bath repair near Highworth

What we do, step by step

When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job generally takes a morning or an afternoon. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. We start by cleaning the damage and taking out loose enamel and rust.
  2. Next we fill the damage and sand it smooth and level.
  3. We mix the colour on the day to match your bath’s exact shade.
  4. Finish coats go on, then the repair is polished to blend in.
  5. The repair is left to cure, and most baths can be used the next day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

Bath repair at your home in Highworth

Whether your bath is steel, cast iron or acrylic, we can repair it. The method changes with the material: rust is treated on metal baths, while cracks in acrylic are reinforced from underneath. Common call-outs are for damage beneath the taps and deep scratches in acrylic, across acrylic, cast iron enamel and pressed steel enamel.

You’re covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Acrylic

Acrylic baths are moulded sheet reinforced underneath. There’s no rust, but cracks, holes and scratches happen, and a crack only stays repaired if it’s supported underneath.

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.

Do you need bath repair in Highworth?

Baths take more knocks than people expect: everyday items get dropped into it all the time, and taps and wastes are tightened against the surface. Over time, chips and rust spots are almost inevitable.

Contact us if you’ve noticed:

  • A chip where the taps sit
  • Impact holes in acrylic
  • A kit repair that didn’t last
  • Chips along the edge of the bath

Before booking anyone

Landlords, agents and businesses in Highworth

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

Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

How we price bath repair

Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Highworth. What changes the price is:

  • The type of damage
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • The material and finish
  • Whether we combine several jobs

A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Send photos for a quote

You can typically get a fixed quote without us visiting. To make it quick:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • One picture of the whole bath
  • The material, if you know it
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

Upload a picture of the damage and one of the whole item, with your SN6 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

Should you replace it?

When the bath is otherwise sound, repairing beats replacing. It’s quicker, cheaper and far less disruptive, and you keep the bath you chose. If the entire surface is worn, re-enamelling may make more sense, and we will tell you. Our bath repair starts from £95. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Looking after it afterwards

To keep it looking its best for years:

  • Do not leave razors or cans standing in the bath
  • Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
  • Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
  • Cover the bath during DIY or decorating

Use gentle, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy items on the repaired area. Deal with new chips early, before rust sets in.

A small chip is a quick job. Left alone, they stain and can rust, so it’s worth getting them done early.

Honest limits

In fairness, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:

  • A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
  • Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
  • Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

Your questions about bath repair in Highworth

Can you repair a hole in a bath?

Frequently, if there is access underneath. We back the hole, fill it and refinish the surface.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

Do I have to be there?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

Is it messy?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.

Are you accredited?

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

Can you repair a crack in an acrylic bath?

Often, yes, as long as we can get to the back of the crack to support it. Take off the bath panel and check, or send us a photo.

Is a repair better than a new one?

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