Bath repair for Little Witcombe homes

Bath repair at your home in Little Witcombe

A repair fixes just the damaged area and blends it into the rest of the bath, which costs far less than replacing a fitted bath. Most baths can be used again the following day. Typical jobs include holes from dropped items and a kit repair that didn’t last, on roll-top & freestanding, acrylic and pressed steel enamel.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. You will know the full cost before you book. We take into account:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • How easy the damage is to reach

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Getting a price from photos

When you take your pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.

The process

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a few hours, depending on the damage. If anything looks different from your photos, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.

  1. We protect the bath and the floor around it.
  2. We clean, key and degrease the damage.
  3. We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
  4. We match both the colour and the shine.
  5. We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, normally the next day.

How to prepare

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

Getting a price

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole bath, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

Common questions in Little Witcombe

What information do you need?

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

Can rust on a bath be repaired?

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

What happens after I send pictures?

You get a fixed price and available dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.

Do you charge for travel?

No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Will there be a smell?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.

How quickly can you book me in?

We will give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.

Will the price change on the day?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.

Will I be able to see the repair?

We aim for a repair you cannot easily find. The rest of the bath’s condition makes a difference.

For landlords and businesses

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.

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, photos and access details and we will handle the rest.

Can I fix it myself?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

Do you need bath repair in Little Witcombe?

Damage during fitting is very common. Tradespeople drop tools and tiles into the bath, frequently before anyone notices. Snagging repairs like these are a regular job for us.

These are the problems we are asked about most:

  • A kit repair that didn’t last
  • Rust by the waste and overflow
  • Holes from dropped items
  • Deep scratches in acrylic

Questions to ask before booking

  • Who turns up on the day
  • How your room will be protected
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers

10 questions to ask before booking

When we would advise against a repair

In fairness, there are a few things a repair will not fix:

  • Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
  • A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
  • A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed

Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

Surfaces we repair

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

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are thick and very strong, with a fused enamel surface. A chip down to the iron can rust, but the bath itself lasts for generations, which makes it well worth repairing.

Composite and resin

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

Repair or replace: which is better?

A new bath brings a chain of other jobs: the tiles sitting on the rim tend to break, the panel may not fit the new one, and a plumber has to disconnect and reconnect everything. Repairing the damage avoids all of that. Prices start from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.

Why book with us

  • No need to remove anything
  • No extra charge for your area
  • One visit for most repairs
  • Work done at your home or business
