Repairs by material

Pressed steel

Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.

Cast iron

A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that is the part we put right.

Bath repair at your home in Kingswood

We have repaired just about every kind of bath damage: dropped-bottle chips, plughole rust, acrylic cracks and impact holes. All of it is repaired where the bath stands. Common call-outs are for hairline or through cracks in acrylic and a chipped rim or side, in pressed steel enamel, cast iron enamel and acrylic.

Every repair is covered by our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Shropshire.

Can I fix it myself?

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

Keeping it looking good

A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:

  • Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
  • Have new chips seen to early
  • Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
  • Clean with warm water and a mild detergent

For the first few days, keep heavy bottles off the repaired spot. After that, clean it as you would the rest of the bath without abrasive products.

Stop using the bath if a crack lets water through. Leaks under a bath can damage floors and ceilings.

Your questions about bath repair in Kingswood

Can you price it without visiting?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.

What areas do you cover?

Across the UK, so Kingswood is covered. Our prices are the same everywhere.

How much does bath repair cost in Kingswood?

Prices start from £95. Every job gets a fixed price based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your WV7 postcode.

Will the repair last?

Done properly, a repair lasts for years, and ours come with a one-year guarantee. Gentle cleaning helps.

Do you cover Kingswood?

Yes. We cover the entire UK and travel to Kingswood. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Do you hold any accreditations?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

What happens next?

We review the photos and send a fixed quote.

Can you fix rust around the plughole?

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

For landlords and businesses

Letting agents frequently send us pictures 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.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

What bath repair costs

Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We look at:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • The material
  • How much damage there is

Compared with replacing, repairing usually costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Quotes from your photos

Before you send pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

We price from photos so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.

Common problems we fix in Kingswood

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.

Send us a picture if you notice any of these:

  • Chips under the taps
  • An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
  • Deep scratches in acrylic
  • Rusty patches near the plughole

What to look for in a quote

  • Whether the price covers travel
  • How to care for the finish
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included

Our hiring checklist

Should you replace it?

Many people think a damaged bath means a new one. In most cases it does not: a proper repair gives it years more use, and costs far less than the disruption of a replacement. Our bath repair starts from £95. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You will see the full price before booking.

What we do, step by step

The work is clean and fairly quiet. Protection goes down first, then the work takes a few hours. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. We protect the bath and the floor around it.
  2. The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased.
  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.

How to prepare

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Clear the area around the damage

Getting a price

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. There is no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.
