Aftercare tips

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:

  • Put a towel in the bath if you are working above it
  • Do not scrub with anything abrasive
  • Rinse it down after each bath
  • Get any new chip repaired before it rusts

Treat the repaired area like the rest of the bath: warm water, washing-up liquid and a soft cloth. Keep scouring pads and gritty cleaners away from it.

A small chip is a quick job. Left alone, they stain and can rust, so early repair saves time and money.

Bath repair in Priors Marston, done in place

A typical bath repair is a few hours’ work, and you can typically bathe again the day after. There is no need to book a plumber or tiler, because the bath doesn’t move. We work on acrylic, roll-top & freestanding and pressed steel enamel, and the jobs we see most are scratches you can feel with a fingernail and damage done while the bathroom was being fitted.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

What your bath is made of matters

Pressed steel

Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.

Composite and resin

Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour matched, in much the same way.

Repair or replace in Priors Marston?

Replacing a bath rarely stops at the bath: the tiles sitting on the rim tend to break, a new panel is frequently needed, and the plumbing has to be disconnected and refitted. Repairing the damage avoids all of that. Our bath repair starts from £95. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.

How we price bath repair

Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • The size and number of damaged areas

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

Getting a price from pictures

You can generally get a fixed quote without us visiting. To help us price it:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

For a price in Priors Marston, the easiest route is pictures: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

Your questions about bath repair in Priors Marston

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Can you quote from photos?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

When can I have a bath again?

Most baths can be used the day after. We confirm the time before we leave.

Will you leave a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.

Is a bath repair durable?

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

What do you need from me?

Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we’ll do the rest.

Will I be able to see the repair?

We aim for a repair you can’t easily find. The rest of the bath’s condition makes a difference.

What we do, step by step

Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so you know exactly what we’re doing. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. You can expect it to take a morning or an afternoon, and we’ll keep you posted as we go.

  1. We protect the bath and the floor around it.
  2. The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased, and any rust is treated.
  3. Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
  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 day after.

Preparing for the visit

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Open a window if you can
