Bath repair near Puckrup

Different materials, different repairs

Composite and resin

Composite baths are dense and solid, and often freestanding. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, just like other baths.

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that is what we repair.

Bath repair in Puckrup without replacing anything

We repair just the damaged spot and colour-match it to the bath, which is far cheaper than replacing a fitted bath. You can generally use the bath the day after. We are often asked to fix a failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting and damage beneath the taps, in cast iron enamel, acrylic and pressed steel enamel.

You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there’s a problem and we’ll come back.

Questions from Puckrup

Is a repair better than a new one?

In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

Will the repair last?

Done properly, a repair lasts for years, and it’s guaranteed for a year. Gentle cleaning helps.

What does bath repair cost?

Prices start from £95. Every job gets a fixed price from your pictures. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.

Are there extra charges for Puckrup?

We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed quote includes everything.

Can rust on a bath be repaired?

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

How do I book?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

Can you repair a failed DIY repair?

Regularly. We strip it out, deal with any rust and repair it again.

Which areas do you work in?

All of Gloucestershire, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.

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. With a repair, it’s one visit and one price. Our bath repair starts from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Why us?

  • Work done at your home or business
  • Normally one visit, start to finish
  • A fixed quote before you book
  • A year’s guarantee on all work

What we are called out for in Puckrup

Most bath damage comes from something dropped: a shampoo bottle, a shower head, a tile or a tool during a refit. On steel and cast iron baths, a chip that reaches the metal lets water in, and rust follows.

Look out for these signs:

  • An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
  • Scuffs and scratches in the surface
  • Rust by the waste and overflow
  • A chipped rim or side

Questions to ask before booking

  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers

Choosing a repair company

Honest limits

We won’t take on work that will not last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:

  • Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we cannot get to from below
  • Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
  • Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.

What we work on

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

What happens on the day

Your technician turns up when we said we would and checks the damage against your pictures first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. Most visits take a few hours, depending on the damage, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. First, we check the damage against your photos and agree the plan.
  2. Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
  3. We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
  4. The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
  5. The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.

Preparing for the visit

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated

Advice

Aftercare tips

It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:

  • Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
  • Check that an acrylic bath doesn’t move when you stand in it
  • Store metal items away from the bath
  • Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas

Leave the repair to cure for as long as we say before using the bath. After that, gentle cleaning keeps it looking good.

A small chip is a quick job. Leave them and they collect dirt, stain and, on metal baths, rust, so it’s worth getting them done early.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

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 generally cheaper.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:

  • How many areas need work
  • The material
  • Access to the area
  • Unusual colours or finishes

Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Getting a price from pictures

Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To make it quick:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.
