Bath repair in Pittville

About our bath repair in Pittville

We see every kind of bath damage: dropped-bottle chips, plughole rust, acrylic cracks and impact holes. All of it is repaired where the bath stands. If you’re dealing with damage done while the bathroom was being fitted and damage beneath the taps, we can help.

We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

What bath repair costs

Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. This is what makes a difference:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • How many areas need work
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Quotes from your photos

Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Try to send:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • A wider photo showing the whole bath

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, include your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

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, and the work is guaranteed.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

Work for landlords and builders

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Gloucestershire and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

If you manage property in Pittville, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Send pictures for each one and we’ll come back with a combined price.

What we do, step by step

We begin by going over the job with you. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and the work begins. You can expect it to take two to three hours for most chips, and we’ll tell you if anything changes.

  1. Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
  2. We clean, key and degrease the damage, and any rust is treated.
  3. We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
  4. Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
  5. We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, usually the next day.

How to prepare

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Common questions in Pittville

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

We look at the photos and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.

Is there any odour?

There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.

Is a bath repair permanent?

A properly prepared repair should last a long time, and ours come with a one-year guarantee. Gentle cleaning helps.

Can you price it without visiting?

In nearly every case. If photos do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.

Can you repair a chip on a coloured bath?

Yes, coloured baths are no problem. The colour is tinted by hand on the day.

How quickly can you book me in?

That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted.

Will it make a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.

Looking after it afterwards

Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:

  • Do not scrub with anything abrasive
  • Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
  • Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
  • Get any new chip repaired before it rusts

Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy items on the repaired area. Deal with new chips early, before rust sets in.

Stop using the bath if a crack lets water through until it’s repaired. Leaks under a bath can damage floors and ceilings.

Repair or replace: which is better?

A new bath brings a chain of other jobs: tiles along the rim usually crack when it comes out, the panel may not fit the new one, and a plumber has to disconnect and reconnect everything. Repairing the damage avoids all of that. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Why book with us

  • No need to remove anything
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish

What we are called out for in Pittville

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.

Signs it’s time to call us include:

  • A chip where the taps sit
  • Holes from dropped items
  • Snagging damage from a refit
  • Chips along the edge of the bath

Before booking anyone

  • What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
  • How the colour is matched
  • What aftercare is recommended
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers

Choosing a repair company

Different materials, different repairs

Pressed steel

Pressed steel is thinner and lighter, with an enamel finish like cast iron. Exposed steel rusts fast, especially around the waste, so repair chips early.

Acrylic

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