Bath repair near Lower Easton

Should I try a DIY kit first?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.

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.

How we handle bath repair in Lower Easton

Whether your bath is steel, cast iron or acrylic, we can repair it. The method changes with the material: rust is treated on metal baths, while cracks in acrylic are reinforced from underneath. Whether it’s rusty patches near the plughole and an old repair that has yellowed or come loose, we can usually put it right, on acrylic, cast iron enamel and roll-top & freestanding alike.

You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we’ll come back.

How it works

Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so there are no surprises. After that, protection goes down around the work area and the work begins. Allow a few hours, depending on the damage.

  1. Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
  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 clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the next day.

How to prepare

  • Open a window if you can
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Advice

Signs you need bath repair in Lower Easton

Rust usually starts where water sits, around the waste, under the taps or in an old chip. Water on bare metal causes rust that creeps under the surrounding enamel.

Most people contact us when they notice one of these:

  • Holes from dropped items
  • Cracks in an acrylic bath
  • Chips on the rim or sides
  • Rust by the waste and overflow

What your quote should include

  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • How to care for the finish
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • What prep work is covered

Our hiring checklist

Repairs by material

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

Pressed steel

Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.

Landlord and trade work in Lower Easton

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

For anyone letting property in or around Lower Easton, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Just send photos for each address and we’ll price them together.

When a repair is not the answer

We would rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so these are the limits:

  • A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
  • Cracks in acrylic we cannot reach from underneath
  • Leaking fittings, which need a plumber

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

Surfaces we repair

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

Keeping it looking good

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
  • Rinse it down after each bath
  • Put a towel in the bath if you’re working above it
  • Get a dripping tap fixed promptly

A repaired bath needs no special treatment. Avoid bleach-based and gritty cleaners and rinse after use.

If water is getting through a crack, stop using the bath until it’s repaired. Water under the bath can damage the floor and the ceiling below.

Should you replace it?

Replacing a bath rarely stops at the bath: tiles along the rim typically crack when it comes out, 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. 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.
