Bath repair for Rudgeway homes

Bath repair in Rudgeway, done in place

A typical bath repair is a few hours’ work, and you can normally bathe again the next day. There is no need to book a plumber or tiler, because the bath does not move. If you are dealing with rust by the waste and overflow and holes from dropped items, we can help.

We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Choosing a repair company

Repair or replace in Rudgeway?

A repair makes sense whenever the damage is localised. It’s a fraction of the cost of a new bath and fitting, it’s done in one visit, and the bathroom stays exactly as it is. Our bath repair starts 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. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.

Why Rudgeway clients choose us

  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • No extra charge for your area
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job

Read our prices page or bath cost comparison.

When we would advise against a repair

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
  • A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
  • Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.

Materials we repair

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

What happens on the day

Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so you know exactly what we are doing. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. It normally takes a few hours.

  1. We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
  2. Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
  3. The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
  4. The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
  5. Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.

How to prepare

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

How to get a price

Most customers in Rudgeway get their price from photos. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Advice

For landlords and businesses

If you manage property in Rudgeway, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Just send pictures for each address and we’ll price them together.

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access.

How we price bath repair

Repairs from £95. You will know the full cost before you book. We take into account:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • The material and finish
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • How hard the colour is to match

Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Quotes from your photos

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

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • One picture of the whole bath
  • Any details about the material
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and no obligation.

Aftercare tips

It’s all simple stuff:

  • Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
  • If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
  • Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
  • Don’t scrub with anything abrasive

Use gentle, non-abrasive cleaners and try not to drop heavy bottles on the repair. Get any new chip seen to quickly, before rust can start.

If water is getting through a crack, stop using the bath. Leaks under a bath can damage floors and ceilings.

Rudgeway questions

Is there a call-out fee?

We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.

Do you work in Rudgeway?

Yes. We cover the entire UK and come to Rudgeway and the rest of South Gloucestershire. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

What information do you need?

Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we will take it from there.

Can you repair a chip on a coloured bath?

Yes. The colour is mixed on site to suit your bath, including older coloured suites.

Can you price it without visiting?

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

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send photos.

Is it messy?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.

How do I get a price for bath repair in Rudgeway?

Prices start from £95. Every job gets a fixed quote from your pictures. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.

DIY kit or professional repair?

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
