Bath repair for Oldmixon homes

How to care for the repair

To keep it looking its best:

  • If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
  • Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
  • Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
  • Put a towel in the bath if you’re working above it

In the first few days, avoid putting weight or bottles on the repair. After that, clean it as you would the rest of the bath without abrasive products.

Tape over a fresh chip or crack until it’s repaired, so water can’t get in. Take it off before we arrive.

How we handle bath repair in Oldmixon

Bath repair is our most common job. Chips on the rim, rust around the waste and cracks in acrylic are all fixed without removing the bath, generally in a single visit. Our technicians work on whirlpool & spa baths, pressed steel enamel and roll-top & freestanding, and people most often call us about damage beneath the taps and a failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting.

You’re covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before you book.

Prices and what affects them

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

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • The type of damage

No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Getting a price from pictures

Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Repair or replace: which is better?

A new bath costs more than the bath itself: taking out the old one, plumbing, tiling, a panel and redecorating. A repair is one job, done in one visit. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Why us?

  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • Everything repaired in place

How the visit works

On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll get on with it. Most visits take a few hours, including clearing up.

  1. We protect the bath and the floor around it.
  2. We clean, key and degrease the damage.
  3. Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
  4. We match both the colour and the shine.
  5. We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, typically the day after.

Preparing for the visit

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

How to get a price

When to call us in Oldmixon

A bath gets knocked about more than you’d think: bottles, shower heads and razors are dropped every day, and fittings press hard against the enamel. Sooner or later, most baths pick up a chip.

Most people contact us after spotting something like this:

  • Deep scratches in acrylic
  • Chips under the taps
  • A hole punched through by something heavy
  • Chips along the edge of the bath

What to look for in a quote

  • What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
  • Who turns up on the day
  • Aftercare advice
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?

Our hiring checklist

When we would advise against a repair

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
  • A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
  • Acrylic cracks with no access behind them

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

What we work on

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

DIY repairs versus a professional job

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. 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 tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

Landlord and trade work in Oldmixon

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in North Somerset and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

FAQs for Oldmixon

How long before I can use the bath?

Generally the next day. We confirm the time before we leave.

Will you leave a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.

Can you repair a failed DIY repair?

Yes. We take out the old repair and do it properly. Mention it when you send pictures.

Will I be able to see the 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.

Is there a call-out fee?

Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Is a bath repair permanent?

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

Do you cover Oldmixon?

Yes. We cover the entire UK and come to Oldmixon and the rest of North Somerset. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Can I add another job to the visit?

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