Bath repair in Lower Clent, done in place

We see every kind of bath damage: chips from dropped bottles, rust round the plughole, cracks in acrylic and holes from falling tools. Each is repaired in place. Our technicians work on acrylic, whirlpool & spa baths and roll-top & freestanding, and common reasons people get in touch are damage done while the bathroom was being fitted and an old repair that has yellowed or come loose.

You are covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Prices and what affects them

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

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • The type of damage
  • The material
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Getting a price from pictures

Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Please include:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A photo taken from further back
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

Upload a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your DY9 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

Lower Clent: your questions answered

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

You get a fixed quote and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

Is a holed acrylic bath repairable?

Frequently, if there is access underneath. The hole is backed, filled and refinished to match.

Will I be able to see the repair?

We aim for a repair you can’t easily find. How well it disappears depends on the condition of the rest of the bath.

What information do you need?

Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we will take it from there.

Is there a call-out fee?

No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Is it messy?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.

Can I fix it myself?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

Looking after it afterwards

Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:

  • Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
  • Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
  • Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
  • Clean with warm water and a mild detergent

Care for the repair the same way as the bath: warm water, washing-up liquid and a soft cloth. Keep scouring pads and gritty cleaners away from it.

Stop using the bath if a crack lets water through until it’s repaired. Water under the bath can damage the floor and the ceiling below.

Honest limits

A repair isn’t always the answer, and we’ll tell you before we start. Repairs won’t solve:

  • A whole bath that’s dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
  • Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
  • Leaking fittings, which need a plumber

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

Materials we work on in Lower Clent

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

Repair or replace in Lower Clent?

Cast iron baths in particular are worth repairing: getting one out, particularly from an upstairs bathroom, is a big job, and replacing like for like is not cheap. A repair keeps it in place. Prices start from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book.

What you get with us

  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface

The process

Once we are through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes a few hours, depending on the damage, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
  2. Next we fill the damage and sand it smooth and level.
  3. We mix the colour on the day to match your bath’s exact shade.
  4. We build up the finish and polish it into the surrounding enamel.
  5. Once it has cured, normally by the following day, the bath is ready to use.

Before we arrive

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Getting a price

For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Signs you need bath repair in Lower Clent

Dropped items cause the majority of chips, and a lot happen during bathroom refits. Cracks in acrylic have a different cause: poor support underneath, so the bath flexes when it’s full.

These are the problems we’re asked about most:

  • A hole punched through by something heavy
  • Damage beneath the taps
  • Rusty patches near the plughole
  • A failed DIY repair that is discoloured or lifting

Comparing quotes

  • How soon you can use it again
  • What aftercare is recommended
  • Who turns up on the day
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers

10 questions to ask before booking

Different materials, different repairs

Acrylic

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

Composite and resin

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