Bath repair in Lyng

When to call us in Lyng

A bath gets knocked about more than you’d think: bottles, shower heads and razors are dropped every day, and taps and wastes are tightened against the surface. Over time, chips and rust spots are almost inevitable.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • Rusty patches near the plughole
  • Cracks in an acrylic bath
  • Snagging damage from a refit
  • Chips under the taps

What to look for in a quote

  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • How the colour is matched
  • Who turns up on the day
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT

Choosing a repair company

Bath repair in Lyng, done in place

A typical bath repair is a few hours’ work, and you can typically bathe again the following day. There’s no need to book a plumber or tiler, because the bath doesn’t move. Common call-outs are for damage beneath the taps and a chipped rim or side, in whirlpool & spa baths, cast iron enamel and roll-top & freestanding.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Keeping it looking good

Aftercare is simple:

  • Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
  • Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
  • Check that an acrylic bath does not move when you stand in it
  • Don’t scrub with anything abrasive

Use gentle, non-abrasive cleaners and try not to drop heavy bottles on the repair. Deal with new chips early, before rust can start.

Until we visit, a strip of waterproof tape over the damage helps, to keep water out. Take it off before we arrive.

When we would advise against a repair

A repair is not right for every job, for example:

  • A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
  • Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
  • Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we cannot get to from below

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.

What we work on

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

What affects the price in Lyng

Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:

  • The material
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Access to the area
  • How hard the colour is to match

Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Lyng. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Send pictures for a quote

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A wider photo showing the entire bath
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job without visiting.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

It’s natural to want to try a repair 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.

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

FAQs for Lyng

What happens after I send photos?

We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.

Do you cover the whole of Somerset?

We cover the whole UK, including Lyng and the rest of Somerset. Send your postcode with your pictures and we will confirm dates.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Do I have to be there?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Will the price change on the day?

If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.

Are you accredited?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

Is the work guaranteed?

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

When can I have a bath again?

Normally by the following day, though it depends on what we have done.

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing a bath rarely stops at the bath: tiles along the rim usually crack when it comes out, a new panel is often needed, and a plumber has to disconnect and reconnect everything. A repair skips all of it. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.

What happens on the day

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you are not left guessing. On site, it takes two to three hours for most chips for most jobs. We leave the room clean and you will know when it can be used.

  1. First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
  2. The chip or crack is filled, then sanded level with the bath.
  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. We leave it to cure; you can normally use the bath the next day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Open a window if you can

Ask for a price

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
