When a repair is not the answer

A repair is not right for every job, for example:

  • A whole bath that’s dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
  • Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
  • Cracks in acrylic we can’t reach from underneath

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

Bath repair at your home in Purton

We repair just the damaged spot and colour-match it to the bath, which is far cheaper than replacing a fitted bath. You can usually use the bath the following day. Whether it’s hairline or through cracks in acrylic and chips on the rim or sides, we can usually put it right.

You are covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before booking.

How the visit works

Arrival times are agreed in advance. Once we are there, the work takes a few hours in most cases. The room is left tidy and ready to use once it has cured.

  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, typically the following day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Ensure the area is dry

Advice

How we price bath repair

Work for landlords and builders

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

Repair or replace: which is better?

When the bath is otherwise sound, repairing beats replacing. It’s quicker, cheaper and far less disruptive, and the bathroom stays as it is. If the whole surface is worn, re-enamelling may make more sense, and we’ll tell you. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book.

Common problems we fix in Purton

Dropped items cause the majority of chips, and a lot happen during bathroom refits. Acrylic baths crack for a different reason: poor support underneath, so the bath flexes when it’s full.

Clients normally contact us about:

  • Impact holes in acrylic
  • An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
  • Chips on the rim or sides
  • Deep scratches in acrylic

  • A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
  • How soon you can use it again

How to compare quotes

What your bath is made of matters

Composite and resin

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

Acrylic

An acrylic bath is a moulded sheet strengthened from below. There is no rust, but cracks, holes and scratches happen, and a crack only stays repaired if it’s supported underneath.

Your questions about bath repair in Purton

Do the materials smell?

There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

How invisible is a bath repair?

The goal is a repair that blends in. How well it disappears depends on the condition of the rest of the bath, and we will tell you what to expect.

What do you need from me?

Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787.

When can I have a bath again?

Normally within a day, depending on the repair.

Can landlords book you?

Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Can a cracked acrylic bath be fixed?

In most cases. We reinforce the crack from behind, then fill and refinish the front, so we need access under the bath.

Do you hold any accreditations?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

Looking after it afterwards

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Have new chips seen to early
  • Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
  • If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
  • Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas

There is nothing special to do after a repair, just sensible cleaning. Skip bleach and gritty creams.

Rust spreads under enamel faster than most people expect. A chip the size of a fingernail can become a much larger patch if it’s left for months, so early repair keeps the cost down.
