Need bath repair in Minehead?

Looking after it afterwards

Aftercare is simple:

  • Check that an acrylic bath does not move when you stand in it
  • Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
  • A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
  • Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth

Leave the repair to cure for as long as we say before using the bath. From then on, mild cleaning is all it needs.

Small chips are quick to repair. Leave them and they collect dirt, stain and, on metal baths, rust, so it’s worth getting them done early.

How we handle bath repair in Minehead

Whether your bath is steel, cast iron or acrylic, we can repair it. The method changes with the material: metal baths need any rust dealt with first, and acrylic cracks need support from behind. If you’re dealing with a hole punched through by something heavy and chips along the edge of the bath, we can help, on acrylic, pressed steel enamel and whirlpool & spa baths alike.

Every job is backed for twelve months in Minehead and everywhere else. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Different materials, different repairs

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that’s what we repair.

Composite and resin

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

Landlord and trade work in Minehead

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.

Minehead questions

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. If there is more, we’ll tell you before starting.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.

Will you leave a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.

Do you repair coloured baths?

Yes, we match coloured baths too. We tint the finish to your bath on site.

Will the repair last?

It should, as long as the bath is firm and the area was prepared well. It carries our one-year guarantee.

Can pets and children be at home?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.

Is there a guarantee?

Yes: twelve months. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

When to call us in Minehead

Heavy toiletries are the biggest single cause of chips, with dropped shower heads close behind. Taps and wastes cause problems too: water sits around them, and any chip there soon rusts.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

  • Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
  • Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
  • An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
  • A chip where the taps sit

What your quote should include

  • How to care for the finish
  • Who turns up on the day
  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
  • How changes to the job are handled

10 questions to ask before you book

Repairing versus replacing in Minehead

Cast iron baths especially are worth keeping: getting one out, particularly from an upstairs bathroom, is a big job, and replacing like for like isn’t cheap. A repair keeps it in place. Our bath repair starts from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You will see the full price before booking.

Why us?

  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures

The process

Your technician turns up when we said we would, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. Most visits take two to three hours for most chips, and we leave the room as we found it.

  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. The colour is mixed on the spot to match your bath.
  4. We apply the finish coats and polish the repair so it blends in.
  5. We leave it to cure; you can generally use the bath the day after.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Clear the area around the damage
