  • Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we can’t get to from below
  • Wear across the whole surface, which needs re-enamelling

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

About our bath repair in Kingswood

Bath repair is our most common job. A chip by the taps, a crack in the base and a rust spot by the plughole are all fixed without removing the bath, usually in a single visit. Whether it’s chips caused by builders and rust by the waste and overflow, we can generally put it right.

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

FAQs for Kingswood

What do you need from me?

Photos of the damage, a photo of the entire bath and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

Is a cracked acrylic bath repairable?

Generally, 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 picture.

Do you charge for travel?

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

Will you leave a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.

Is my repair covered?

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.

Will I be able to see the repair?

The goal is a repair that blends in. How well it disappears depends on the condition of the rest of the bath, and we’ll tell you what to expect.

Do you repair coloured baths?

Yes. The colour is mixed on site to suit your bath, including pastel and older colours.

I tried a repair kit. Can you fix it?

Yes. We take out the old repair and do it properly. Mention it when you send photos.

What your bath is made of matters

Composite and resin

Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour matched, in much the same way.

Pressed steel

Steel baths are lighter than cast iron, but have a similar enamel surface. Chips rust quickly on steel, particularly by the plughole, so repair chips early.

Keeping it looking good

So the finish stays in good condition for years:

  • Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
  • Have new chips seen to early
  • Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
  • Cover the bath during DIY or decorating

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

If water is getting through a crack, stop using the bath. Leaks under a bath can damage floors and ceilings.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Kingswood

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Kingswood as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it generally costs far less than a refit.

If you manage property in Kingswood, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send photos for each one and we will come back with a combined price.

How it works

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, then carry out the work, which typically takes a few hours, depending on the damage. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.

  1. First, we check the damage against your photos and agree the plan.
  2. Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
  3. We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
  4. The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
  5. The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.

Before we arrive

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Advice

What we are called out for in Kingswood

Rust typically starts where water sits, by the plughole, beneath dripping taps or in an unrepaired chip. Water on bare metal causes rust that creeps under the surrounding enamel.

You may need us if you’ve spotted:

  • Rusty patches near the plughole
  • A chip where the taps sit
  • Chips caused by builders
  • Impact holes in acrylic

How to compare quotes

Repair or replace: which is better?

If the rest of the bath is in good condition, a repair is almost always the better choice. It’s quicker, cheaper and far less disruptive, and you keep the bath you chose. Where the entire surface is tired, we may suggest re-enamelling instead. Prices start from £95. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Why Kingswood customers choose us

  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface

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 does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
