Need bath repair in Keynsham?

Repairs by material

Composite and resin

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

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

Bath repair in Keynsham without replacing anything

A repair fixes just the damaged area and blends it into the rest of the bath, which is far cheaper than replacing a fitted bath. Most baths can be used again the next day. We regularly repair whirlpool & spa baths, pressed steel enamel and cast iron enamel, and people most often call us about deep scratches in acrylic and cracks in an acrylic bath.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re covered after the visit.

For landlords and businesses

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

Your questions about bath repair in Keynsham

Which areas do you work in?

Everywhere in the UK, Keynsham included. There is no extra charge for travel.

What happens if you find more damage?

Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

Can you repair several things at once?

Of course, and it typically saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you’ll get one combined price.

Can landlords book you?

Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Can you repair a hole in a bath?

Typically. Photos of the hole and the underside help us check.

Do the materials smell?

There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.

Can you repair a crack in an acrylic bath?

Most of the time. We reinforce the crack from behind, then fill and refinish the front, so access behind the panel is important.

How invisible is a bath repair?

On a bath in good condition, a colour matched repair is very hard to spot. On worn enamel, it can look shinier than the rest.

What a repair cannot fix

It helps to know what we can’t do too:

  • A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
  • Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
  • Cracks in acrylic we can’t reach from underneath

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before booking.

What we work on

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

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. There is no charge for travel to Keynsham. The price comes down to:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • The material
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How hard the colour is to match

We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Keynsham. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Send pictures for a quote

Two or three clear photos are typically enough. It helps if you send:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • One picture of the whole bath
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Details of any past repairs

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole bath, we can give you a fixed price.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.

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.

When to call us in Keynsham

Heavy toiletries are the biggest single cause of chips, closely followed by shower heads. Fittings cause damage too: water sits around them, and any chip there soon rusts.

Most people contact us when they notice one of these:

  • A kit repair that didn’t last
  • Deep scratches in acrylic
  • Impact holes in acrylic
  • Snagging damage from a refit

What your quote should include

  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • What happens if they find more damage
  • Whether a trained technician does the job

Choosing a repair company

Looking after it afterwards

Aftercare is simple:

  • Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
  • Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
  • Have new chips seen to early
  • Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale

Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy items on the repaired area. Deal with new chips early, before rust can start.

Do not leave a chip on a steel or cast iron bath. Water gets to the metal and rust starts, turning a quick repair into a bigger one.

How it works

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you are not left guessing. Once we are there, the work takes a few hours in most cases. We leave the room clean.

  1. Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
  2. We clean, key and degrease the damage.
  3. We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
  4. Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
  5. We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the day after.

Preparing for the visit

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Getting a price

You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.
