Bath repair in Nastend without replacing anything

We repair just the damaged spot and colour-match it to the bath, which is far cheaper than replacing a fitted bath and the tiles around it. You can usually use the bath the next day. Our technicians work on acrylic, cast iron enamel and roll-top & freestanding, and people most often call us about holes from dropped items and a kit repair that didn’t last.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months in Nastend and everywhere else. We return to put right any problem with the work.

How we price bath repair

Repairs from £95. There is no area surcharge for Nastend. What changes the price is:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • How many areas need work
  • Unusual colours or finishes

Compared with replacing, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Send photos for a quote

You can take the photos on your phone. Just ensure we can see:

  • A wider photo showing the whole bath
  • Any details about the material
  • Details of any past repairs
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

For a price in Nastend, photos are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

Signs you need bath repair in Nastend

Glass and heavy bottles cause more chips than anything else. Fittings cause damage too: water collects there, so chips nearby rust quickly.

You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:

  • Deep scratches in acrylic
  • Damage beneath the taps
  • Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
  • A hole punched through by something heavy

Questions from Nastend

When can I have a bath again?

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

Do you cover the entire of Gloucestershire?

Across the UK. Prices don’t change with location.

How do I book?

Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send photos of everything you’d like done.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

Do you come to Nastend?

Yes, we do. We send a technician to Nastend for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

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, then guarantee it for a year.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Cast iron

A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that is the part we put right.

Acrylic

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

Repair or replace in Nastend?

Cast iron baths especially are worth keeping: they’re very heavy to remove, especially upstairs, and a like-for-like replacement can be expensive. Repairing it leaves it where it is. Prices start from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

How to care for the repair

So the finish stays in good condition:

  • Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
  • Don’t leave razors or cans standing in the bath
  • A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
  • Give the bath a quick rinse after use

Keep metal objects like razors and cans off the surface, because they can mark the enamel. And fix dripping taps promptly.

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.

What happens on the day

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you are not left guessing. On site, it takes a morning or an afternoon for most jobs. The room is left tidy.

  1. First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
  2. We fill the damage and sand it flush with the surrounding surface.
  3. We mix the colour on the day to match your bath’s exact shade.
  4. Finish coats go on, then the repair is polished to blend in.
  5. We leave it to cure; you can generally use the bath the next day.

Before we arrive

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
