Bath repair in Long Ashton

Repairing versus replacing in Long Ashton

Replacing a bath rarely stops at the bath: tiles along the rim generally crack when it comes out, the panel may not fit the new one, and the plumbing has to be disconnected and refitted. Repairing the damage avoids all of that. Prices start from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Long Ashton. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Why book with us

  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • No need to remove anything
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
  • One price list for the entire UK

Bath repair in Long Ashton without replacing anything

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, normally in one visit. We’re frequently asked to fix damage beneath the taps and snagging damage from a refit, in pressed steel enamel, cast iron enamel and roll-top & freestanding.

You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there is a problem and we will come back.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Long Ashton

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.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in North Somerset and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

What bath repair costs

Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • How much damage there is
  • What kind of damage it is
  • The material and finish

What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Quotes from your pictures

Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To help us price it:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Any details about the material
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • One picture of the entire bath

There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

When a repair is not the answer

Not everything can be repaired, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:

  • Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
  • A steel bath rusted through
  • Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before you book.

What we work on

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

What we do, step by step

Once we are through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes a few hours, depending on the damage, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. We clean the area and remove any loose enamel or rust.
  2. The chip or crack is filled, then sanded level with the bath.
  3. The colour is mixed on the spot to match your bath.
  4. Finish coats go on, then the repair is polished to blend in.
  5. The repair is left to cure, and most baths can be used the next day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated

How to get a price

No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.

Keeping it looking good

Looking after the surface is easy:

  • Put a towel in the bath if you’re working above it
  • Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
  • Do not leave a fresh chip for long
  • Get a dripping tap fixed promptly

Leave the repair to cure for as long as we say before using the bath. After that, gentle cleaning keeps it looking good.

Stop using the bath if a crack lets water through. Water under the bath can damage the floor and the ceiling below.

What your bath is made of matters

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

Pressed steel

Steel baths are lighter than cast iron, but have a similar enamel surface. Exposed steel rusts fast, particularly by the plughole, so early repairs matter.
