  • Rust by the waste and overflow
  • Deep scratches in acrylic
  • A chip where the taps sit

Choosing a repair company

What affects the price in Rangeworthy

Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. The main factors are:

  • The material
  • Access to the area
  • Unusual colours or finishes

The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:

  • Something in shot to show the size

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed price.

Questions from Rangeworthy

Do you come to Rangeworthy?

We do. Repair technicians travel to Rangeworthy from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Is it messy?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.

Is a cracked acrylic bath repairable?

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

Will I be able to see the repair?

The goal is a repair that blends in. How well it disappears depends on the condition of the rest of the bath.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

Is a repair better than a new one?

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

Which areas do you work in?

We cover the entire UK, including Rangeworthy and the rest of South Gloucestershire. Send your postcode with your photos and we’ll offer you dates.

What we can’t put right

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

  • Metal that has corroded all the way through
  • Cracks in acrylic we cannot reach from underneath
  • A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before booking.

What we work on

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

How the visit works

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and clear up. Allow two to three hours for most chips from start to finish. Before we go, we’ll explain when it can be used and how to look after it.

  1. Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
  2. The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased.
  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, typically the day after.

How to prepare

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Composite and resin

Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid, and often freestanding. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, in much the same way.

Acrylic

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

Repair or replace: which is better?

Swapping a damaged bath for a new one normally involves a plumber, lifting out the old bath, re-tiling and a new panel and getting rid of the old bath. A repair fixes just the damaged area in one visit. Prices start from £95. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Work for landlords and builders

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Rangeworthy use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it generally costs far less than a refit.

Looking after it afterwards

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Don’t scrub with anything abrasive
  • Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
  • Don’t leave a fresh chip for long
  • Give the bath a quick rinse after use

Give the repair the full curing time we recommend before running a bath. After that, gentle cleaning keeps it looking good.

Avoid standing in a cracked acrylic bath until it’s fixed. Every use opens the crack a little more, and water can get through to the floor below.
