Bath repair near Mudford Sock

How we handle bath repair in Mudford Sock

A repair fixes just the damaged area and blends it into the rest of the bath, which is far cheaper than replacing a fitted bath. You can generally use the bath the following day. If you’re dealing with hairline or through cracks in acrylic and chips under the taps, we can generally put it right, whatever the material.

All our work comes with a one-year guarantee.

Questions from Mudford Sock

How invisible is a bath repair?

On a bath in good condition, a colour matched repair is very hard to spot. On older, dull enamel the repair can look glossier than the area around it.

Can you price it without visiting?

Nearly always. If pictures don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

Are you a vetted contractor?

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

What happens after I send pictures?

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

How do I book?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

How much does bath repair cost in Mudford Sock?

Repairs from £95. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You’ll get a fixed figure before booking.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

How it works

There is not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we will take it from there. The job generally runs to a few hours, depending on the damage.

  1. First, we check the damage against your pictures and agree the plan.
  2. Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
  3. We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
  4. The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
  5. The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.

Preparing for the visit

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Make sure the area is dry

Getting a price

You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

Related advice

What your bath is made of matters

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are thick and very strong, finished with fired enamel. Chips can rust if left, but the bath itself lasts for generations, which makes it well worth repairing.

Acrylic

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

Honest limits

We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:

  • Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we cannot get to from below
  • Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
  • Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before booking.

Surfaces we repair

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

Keeping it looking good

So the finish stays in good condition for years:

  • Check that an acrylic bath does not move when you stand in it
  • Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
  • Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
  • Rinse it down after each bath

There’s nothing special to do after a repair. Skip bleach and gritty creams and give it a rinse after each bath.

Rust under enamel spreads surprisingly quickly. Left for months, a small chip can grow into a large rust patch, so it pays to deal with it early.

For landlords and businesses

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Mudford Sock as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it normally costs far less than a refit.

Do you need bath repair in Mudford Sock?

Rust generally starts where water sits, around the waste, under the taps or in an old chip. Once water reaches the steel or iron, rust spreads under the enamel.

People generally call us when they notice something like this:

  • A chipped rim or side
  • Deep scratches in acrylic
  • Rusty patches near the plughole
  • Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted

How to compare quotes

What bath repair costs

Repairs from £95. We price every job individually. The main factors are:

  • How much damage there is
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • The material and finish

Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.

How to get a fixed quote

Photographing the damage takes a minute. Please include:

  • A wider photo showing the entire bath
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Something in shot to show the size

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos through our quote form or call us. We’ll say right away if a repair is the right fix.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

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

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
