How we price bath repair

Repairs from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The material
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • How much damage there is

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

How to get a fixed quote

Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • One picture of the entire bath
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Details of any past repairs

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures through our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

FAQs for Rhode

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners across Somerset.

Do you cover Rhode?

Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Rhode and the rest of Somerset. Send photos and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Can you quote from photos?

Normally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.

When can you do it?

That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.

Is the work guaranteed?

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

Will the repair show?

We aim for a repair you cannot easily find. How well it disappears depends on the condition of the rest of the bath, and we’ll tell you what to expect.

Different materials, different repairs

Acrylic

Acrylic baths are moulded sheet reinforced underneath. There is no rust, but cracks, holes and scratches happen, and cracks need support from behind to stay fixed.

Composite and resin

Composite baths are dense and solid, and often freestanding. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour matched, in much the same way.

Aftercare tips

How the surface is treated afterwards matters:

  • Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
  • Do not leave razors or cans standing in the bath
  • Do not leave a fresh chip for long
  • Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning

Keep metal objects like razors and cans off the surface, as they can leave rust marks. A dripping tap should be fixed early, too.

If an acrylic bath has a crack, stop showering in it until it’s repaired. Each time it flexes, the crack grows, and it can start to leak underneath.

When to call us in Rhode

Heavy toiletries are the biggest single cause of chips, closely followed by shower heads. Taps and wastes cause problems too: water sits around them, and any chip there soon rusts.

Look out for these signs:

  • A hole punched through by something heavy
  • Chips caused by builders
  • Rusty patches near the plughole
  • Hairline or through cracks in acrylic

Before booking anyone

  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • Who will actually do the work
  • What aftercare is recommended

Choosing a repair company

What a repair cannot fix

Not everything can be repaired, and we will tell you before we start. Repairs won’t solve:

  • A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
  • Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
  • Acrylic cracks with no access behind them

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Surfaces we repair

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

Work for landlords and builders

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, pictures and access details and we’ll arrange it.

How the visit works

Here’s how a visit generally runs: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and tidy away. Allow two to three hours for most chips from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.

  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. We match both the colour and the shine.
  5. We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, normally the day after.

Before we arrive

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

How to get 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 will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

DIY kit or professional repair?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
