Bath repair for Nether Kellet homes

Aftercare tips

Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:

  • Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
  • Do not scrub with anything abrasive
  • Do not leave a fresh chip for long
  • Clean with warm water and a mild detergent

For the first few days, keep heavy bottles off the repaired spot. After that, clean it as you would the rest of the bath without abrasive products.

If water is getting through a crack, stop using the bath until it’s repaired. Leaks under a bath can damage floors and ceilings.

The process

You do not need to empty the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we’ve agreed what we’re doing. Most jobs take two to three hours for most chips, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  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. Finish coats go on, then the repair is polished to blend in.
  5. Once it has cured, generally by the following day, the bath is ready to use.

How to prepare

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Open a window if you can

What affects the price in Nether Kellet

Repairs from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Nether Kellet. The price comes down to:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • How much damage there is
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The material

We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Nether Kellet. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Quotes from your pictures

Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Any details about the material

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures through our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

Repairing versus replacing in Nether Kellet

A repair makes sense whenever the damage is localised. It costs far less than a new bath plus fitting, it takes one visit, and the bathroom stays exactly as it is. Prices start from £95. Compared with replacing, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Why us?

  • A fixed quote before you book
  • Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • No need to remove anything

When we would advise against a repair

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

  • Metal that has corroded all the way through
  • A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
  • Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

Materials we repair

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

Nether Kellet: your questions answered

Can landlords book you?

We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

What happens after I send photos?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote with dates.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Typically, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

How quickly can you book me in?

We’ll give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.

Is there a guarantee?

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send photos.

Can rust on a bath be repaired?

Yes, very often. The rust is cut back to clean metal and sealed before we fill and finish it.

Do you come to Nether Kellet?

We do. We send a technician to Nether Kellet for every job, with no extra charge for travel.

When to call us in Nether Kellet

Baths take more knocks than people expect: 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.

You may need us if you’ve spotted:

  • A chipped rim or side
  • Deep scratches in acrylic
  • Rust spots around the plughole
  • Snagging damage from a refit

What your quote should include

  • How long it needs to cure
  • What prep work is covered
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • Whether a trained technician does the job

How to compare quotes

What your bath is made of matters

Composite and resin

Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid, and often freestanding. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour matched, just like other baths.

Acrylic

An acrylic bath is a moulded sheet strengthened from below. They do not rust, but they can crack, scratch or be holed, and cracks need support from behind to stay fixed.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Nether Kellet

For anyone letting property in or around Nether Kellet, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send pictures for each one and we’ll come back with a combined price.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
