How we handle bath repair in Itchington

You do not need a new bath because of a chip. We fill the damage, shape it to the curve of the bath and refinish it, with the colour mixed on site so the repair is hard to spot. Our repair technicians work on pressed steel enamel, roll-top & freestanding and acrylic, and the jobs we see most are chips along the edge of the bath and rust by the waste and overflow.

Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Itchington and across South Gloucestershire.

For landlords and businesses

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, pictures and access details.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Common problems we fix in Itchington

Acrylic baths that crack nearly always have a support problem. Legs that are not adjusted, a missing cradle or a soft floor let the bath move until the acrylic gives way.

Send us a picture if you notice any of these:

  • Impact holes in acrylic
  • A kit repair that didn’t last
  • Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
  • A chipped rim or side

Questions to ask before booking

  • How changes to the job are handled
  • Who will actually do the work
  • When it can be used again
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges

Aftercare tips

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

  • Make sure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
  • Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
  • A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
  • Give the bath a quick rinse after use

Treat the repaired area like the rest of the bath: a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs. Avoid scourers and gritty cream cleaners.

Tape over a fresh chip or crack until it’s repaired, to keep water out. Remove it before the repair.

When we would advise against a repair

We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair won’t do:

  • Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we cannot get to from below
  • Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
  • A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed

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

Itchington: your questions answered

Can you fix rust around the plughole?

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

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.

How long does the repair take to cure?

Usually the following day. We’ll tell you the exact curing time when we finish.

What do you need from me?

Photos of the damage, a picture of the whole bath and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.

How do I get a price for bath repair in Itchington?

Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You will get a fixed figure before you book.

Is a cracked acrylic bath repairable?

In most cases. We reinforce the crack from behind, then fill and refinish the front, so we need access under the bath.

Will you leave a mess?

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

Is my repair covered?

All our work carries our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

What we do, step by step

When we visit, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job generally takes a morning or an afternoon. We clean up when we’re done and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. We protect the bath and the floor around it.
  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. Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
  5. We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, usually the day after.

Preparing for the visit

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

Ask for a price

Advice

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Itchington. The price comes down to:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • The material
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • How much damage there is

There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Getting a price from pictures

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

We price from photos so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

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.

Composite and resin

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