Bath repair in Kingswood

For landlords and businesses

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

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

How we handle bath repair in Kingswood

Whatever has happened to the bath, we aim for the same result: a smooth, solid repair that blends in. Proper preparation, careful filling and shaping, then colour and gloss matching so it’s level with the surrounding surface. If you’re dealing with a chipped rim or side and scuffs and scratches in the surface, we can generally put it right, on cast iron enamel, acrylic and roll-top & freestanding alike.

Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

How it works

You don’t need to empty the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we have agreed what we are doing. Most jobs take a few hours, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
  2. We clean, key and degrease the damage.
  3. Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
  4. Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
  5. We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the following day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Let us know about parking or access

Aftercare tips

To keep it looking its best:

  • Give the bath a quick rinse after use
  • Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
  • Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
  • Keep metal cans and razors off the surface

Give the repair the full curing time we recommend before running a bath. After that, gentle cleaning keeps it looking good.

If an acrylic bath has a crack, stop showering in it until it’s repaired. Each time it flexes, the crack grows, and water can get through to the floor below.

How we price bath repair

Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • What kind of damage it is
  • What the surface is made of

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

Quotes from your pictures

We price nearly every job from photos. This is what we need:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • A picture taken from further back
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole bath, we can price the job the same day in most cases.

DIY kit or professional repair?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

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 typically the cheaper route.

Common questions in Kingswood

What do you need from me?

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

Is it messy?

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

How invisible is a bath repair?

On a glossy bath, you’ll struggle to find it. On older, dull enamel the repair can look glossier than the area around it.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.

Do you repair coloured baths?

Yes. We mix the colour on the day to match, including pastel and older colours.

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

You’ll get a fixed quote back. You’re under no obligation.

Can rust on a bath be repaired?

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

When we’d advise against a repair

Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits:

  • Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
  • A steel bath rusted through
  • Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.

What we work on

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

Common problems we fix in Kingswood

Baths take more knocks than people expect: everyday items get dropped into it all the time, and fittings press hard against the enamel. Sooner or later, most baths pick up a chip.

The most common problems we’re called about are:

  • Holes from dropped items
  • Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
  • An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
  • Rust by the waste and overflow

Choosing a repair company

Different materials, different repairs

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that’s what we repair.

Composite and resin

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