Prices and what affects them

- How many items we do on one visit
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How many areas need work
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.

How the visit works
Here’s how a visit normally runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and tidy away. Allow two to three hours for most chips from start to finish. Before we go, we will explain how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased, and any rust is treated.
- We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
- We match both the colour and the shine.
- We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, usually the following day.
Before we arrive
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Clear the area around the damage
Ask for a price
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.
Related advice
Do you need bath repair in Prestleigh?
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. Sooner or later, most baths pick up a chip.
Send us a picture if you notice any of these:
- Chips caused by builders
- A chipped rim or side
- A hole punched through by something heavy
- Cracks in an acrylic bath
What to look for in a quote
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- If travel is included in the price
- Who turns up on the day
- What happens if they find more damage
Looking after it afterwards
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- Do not scrub with anything abrasive
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
Leave the repair to cure for as long as we say before running a bath. After that, gentle cleaning keeps it looking good.
Until we visit, a strip of waterproof tape over the damage helps, to keep water out. Remove it before the repair.
Repair or replace in Prestleigh?
For damage in one or two places, a repair is the obvious choice. It costs far less than a new bath plus fitting, it’s done in one visit, and nothing else in the room changes. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Prestleigh. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Questions from Prestleigh
Do I have to be there?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
Is a cracked acrylic bath repairable?
Most of the time. The back of the crack is strengthened before the front is filled and refinished, so we need access under the bath.
Do you work in Prestleigh?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Prestleigh for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Can you fix rust around the plughole?
Yes, very frequently. We take it back to sound metal, seal it, fill it and match the colour.
How soon can you come?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
Can landlords book you?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
What areas do you cover?
We cover the whole UK, including Prestleigh and the rest of Somerset. Just include your postcode and we’ll offer you dates.
DIY kit or professional repair?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually 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.
