Bath repair for Lower Apperley homes

Can I fix it myself?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

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, then guarantee it for a year.

Bath repair at your home in Lower Apperley

Most bath damage, from chips and cracks to rust spots and holes, is repaired in place. Nothing is unplumbed, your tiles stay as they are, and the finish is matched to the rest of the bath. We regularly repair roll-top & freestanding, whirlpool & spa baths and pressed steel enamel, and the jobs we see most are hairline or through cracks in acrylic and chips on the rim or sides.

All our work is covered by a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Gloucestershire.

Work for landlords and builders

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

Repair or replace: which is better?

A new bath brings a chain of other jobs: tiles along the rim generally crack when it comes out, a new panel is frequently needed, and a plumber has to disconnect and reconnect everything. Repairing the damage avoids all of that. Our bath repair starts from £95. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before booking.

What you get with us

  • Same prices wherever you are
  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • We leave the room as we found it
  • One-year guarantee on every repair

FAQs for Lower Apperley

Is my repair covered?

All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.

Will the repair show?

We aim for a repair you can’t easily find. The rest of the bath’s condition makes a difference, and we will tell you what to expect.

Can you repair a crack in an acrylic bath?

Frequently, yes, if we can reach the underside to reinforce it. Take off the bath panel and check, or send us a photo.

Is a bath repair durable?

Yes, if it’s prepared properly and the bath is sound. It carries our one-year guarantee.

Will the price change on the day?

We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

Something went through my bath. Can it be fixed?

Usually, yes, if we can reach behind it. We back the hole, fill it and refinish the surface.

Can you redo an old repair?

Yes, we do this frequently. The old material comes out, any rust is treated, then we repair it properly.

Will it make a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.

How we price bath repair

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

  • Access to the area
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • How much damage there is
  • What kind of damage it is

A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Quotes from your pictures

You can take the pictures on your phone, there is no need for anything special. Just ensure we can see:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

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

Looking after it afterwards

Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:

  • A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
  • Ensure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
  • Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
  • Have new chips seen to early

There’s nothing special to do after a repair. Skip bleach and gritty creams.

Small chips are quick to repair. Leave them and they collect dirt, stain and, on metal baths, rust, so early repair saves time and money.

How the visit works

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you know when to expect us. On site, it takes a few hours, depending on the damage in most cases. We leave the room clean and you’ll know when it can be used.

  1. First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
  2. We fill the damage and sand it flush with the surrounding surface.
  3. We tint the finish on the day to suit your bath’s shade of white or colour.
  4. We apply the finish coats and polish the repair so it blends in.
  5. Once it has cured, generally by the day after, the bath is ready to use.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

Advice

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.

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
