Bath repair at your home in Roundbush

Repairing baths is what we do most. A chip by the taps, a crack in the base and a rust spot by the plughole are all repaired in place, generally in a single visit. We are frequently asked to fix a cracked acrylic bath and a kit repair that didn’t last, in acrylic, whirlpool & spa baths and pressed steel enamel.

Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. You’ll know the full cost before booking. We take into account:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • What kind of damage it is
  • The material and finish

Compared with replacing, repairing generally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

How to get a fixed price

You can normally get a fixed quote without us visiting. To help us price it:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Details of any past repairs
  • A photo taken from further back
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

To get a price, send a couple of pictures through our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing a bath rarely stops at the bath: tiles along the rim typically crack when it comes out, the panel may not fit the new one, and a plumber has to disconnect and reconnect everything. Repairing the damage avoids all of that. 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 combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Why us?

  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • No extra charge for your area
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • Work done at your home or business

How it works

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, do the job and tidy away. Allow a few hours from start to finish. Before we go, we will explain how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. We clean the area and remove any loose enamel or rust.
  2. Next we fill the damage and sand it smooth and level.
  3. We mix the colour on the day to match your bath’s exact shade.
  4. Finish coats go on, then the repair is polished to blend in.
  5. Once it has cured, generally by the next day, the bath is ready to use.

Before we arrive

  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

How to get a price

There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

When a repair is not the answer

Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits:

  • Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
  • Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
  • A steel bath rusted through

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

Materials we work on in Roundbush

Do you need bath repair in Roundbush?

Heavy toiletries are the biggest single cause of chips, with dropped shower heads close behind. Fittings cause damage too: water sits around them, and any chip there soon rusts.

Send us a picture if you notice any of these:

  • A cracked acrylic bath
  • Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
  • A failed DIY repair that is discoloured or lifting
  • A chip where the taps sit

Questions to ask before you book

  • What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • Whether a trained technician does the job

Choosing a repair company

Work for landlords and builders

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

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

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, a professional repair is worth it.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

Your questions about bath repair in Roundbush

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Most of the time. Let us know what was used before.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

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

Can I get a quote without a visit?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.

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.

Will the price change on the day?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.

Can landlords book you?

We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Are you accredited?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

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.

Repairs by material

Cast iron

A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that is the part we put right.

Composite and resin

Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, in much the same way.
