Work for landlords and builders
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip.
Bath repair in Robeston Wathen, done in place
A typical bath repair is a few hours’ work, and you can typically bathe again the next day. There’s no need to book a plumber or tiler, because the bath doesn’t move. Our repair technicians work on roll-top & freestanding, whirlpool & spa baths and acrylic, and people most often call us about damage beneath the taps and a chipped rim or side.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Robeston Wathen: your questions answered
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.
Do you come to Robeston Wathen?
Yes. We cover the entire UK and come to Robeston Wathen. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Can you repair a failed DIY repair?
Yes. We remove the old filler and start again. Mention it when you send photos.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
How long before I can use the bath?
Normally within a day, depending on the repair.
What happens after I send photos?
We review the pictures and send a fixed quote and the next dates we have.
Are you accredited?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
What a repair cannot fix
Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits too:
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
- Wear across the whole surface, which needs re-enamelling
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before you book.
Surfaces we repair
- Cast iron enamel
- Pressed steel enamel
- Acrylic
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Whirlpool & spa baths
How the visit works
You do not need to empty the room. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and start once you are happy with the plan. Most jobs take a few hours, depending on the damage, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
- The chip or crack is filled, then sanded level with the bath.
- We mix the colour on the day to match your bath’s exact shade.
- We apply the finish coats and polish the repair so it blends in.
- Once it has cured, usually by the day after, the bath is ready to use.
Before we arrive
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, add your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.

Why repair rather than replace?
Cast iron baths in particular are worth repairing: getting one out, particularly from an upstairs bathroom, is a big job, and replacing like for like isn’t cheap. A repair keeps it in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:
- What kind of damage it is
- The material
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Doing more than one item at once
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Quotes from your photos
When you take your pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- The material, if you know it
- Natural light rather than flash
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
Aftercare tips
So the finish stays in good condition:
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
- Have new chips seen to early
- Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
Do not leave razors, cans or hair grips in the bath, as they can leave rust marks. And fix dripping taps promptly.
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 it pays to deal with it early.
Signs you need bath repair in Robeston Wathen
The usual cause is something heavy dropped into the bath, and building work is a common culprit. Acrylic baths crack for a different reason: poor support underneath, so the bath flexes when it’s full.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- A hole punched through by something heavy
- Deep scratches in acrylic
- Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
- Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
Questions to ask before you book
