Need bath repair in Saul?

Should I try a DIY kit first?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

How we handle bath repair in Saul

Most of our bath repairs take a few hours, and you can normally bathe again the following day. There is no need to book a plumber or tiler, because the bath does not move. If you’re dealing with a hole punched through by something heavy and chips on the rim or sides, we can typically put it right, whatever the material.

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Gloucestershire.

For landlords and businesses

If you manage property in Saul, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send pictures for each address and we’ll price them together.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

How we price bath repair

Repairs from £95. There is no area surcharge for Saul. What changes the price is:

  • The material
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Doing more than one item at once

Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Saul. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Quotes from your photos

Phone photos are fine, there is no need for anything special. Just ensure we can see:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

We price from photos so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.

How the visit works

When we visit, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take a morning or an afternoon. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. We protect the bath and the floor around it.
  2. We clean, key and degrease the damage.
  3. We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
  4. We match both the colour and the shine.
  5. We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, normally the next day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Open a window if you can

Ask for a price

You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

How to look after the repair

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
  • Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
  • Put a towel in the bath if you’re working above it
  • Get any new chip repaired before it rusts

In the first few days, avoid putting weight or bottles on the repair. After that, clean it as you would the rest of the bath.

A small chip is a quick job. Leave them and they collect dirt, stain and, on metal baths, rust, so it’s worth getting them done early.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Swapping a damaged bath for a new one normally involves a plumber, removing the old bath, re-tiling and a new panel and disposing of the old one. A repair fixes just the damaged area in one visit. Prices start from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

What your bath is made of matters

Pressed steel

Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.

Composite and resin

Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour matched, in much the same way.

Saul: your questions answered

Do the materials smell?

Expect a mild smell while we are working.

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.

Will the repair last?

Yes, if it’s prepared properly and the bath is sound. It’s covered by our one-year guarantee.

Can rust on a bath be repaired?

Yes, very often. We take it back to sound metal, seal it, fill it and match the colour.

Can landlords book you?

We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

When can I have a bath again?

Normally by the following day, though it depends on what we have done.

What areas do you cover?

We cover the entire UK, including Saul and the rest of Gloucestershire. Send your postcode with your photos and we will confirm dates.

Will the repair show?

On a glossy bath, you’ll struggle to find it. On worn enamel, it can look shinier than the rest.

When to call us in Saul

A bath gets knocked about more than you’d think: everyday items get dropped into it all the time, and taps and wastes are tightened against the surface. Over time, chips and rust spots are almost inevitable.

Common reasons people in Saul contact us include:

  • Rusty patches near the plughole
  • A failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting
  • Chips along the edge of the bath
  • A cracked acrylic bath

Questions to ask before you book

  • How long it needs to cure
  • How the colour is matched
  • What happens if they find more damage
  • Whether the price covers travel
