Bath repair near Serrington

How the visit works

We work cleanly and quietly, so you can carry on at home. Protection goes down first, then the work takes two to three hours for most chips. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to look after it.

  1. We start by cleaning the damage and taking out loose enamel and rust.
  2. Next we fill the damage and sand it smooth and level.
  3. The colour is mixed on the spot to match your bath.
  4. We build up the finish and polish it into the surrounding enamel.
  5. We leave it to cure; you can usually use the bath the following day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

How we handle bath repair in Serrington

A typical bath repair is a few hours’ work, and you can usually bathe again the following day. There is no need to book a plumber or tiler, because nothing is disconnected. Common call-outs are for rusty patches near the plughole and holes from dropped items, across cast iron enamel, acrylic and roll-top & freestanding.

Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

Common problems we fix in Serrington

Rust tends to begin where water collects, around the waste, under the taps or in an old chip. Water on bare metal causes rust that creeps under the surrounding enamel.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • Chips along the edge of the bath
  • Rust spots around the plughole
  • Chips caused by builders
  • Impact holes in acrylic

Questions to ask before you book

  • How long it needs to cure
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • How the colour is matched

10 questions to ask before booking

Questions from Serrington

Do you cover the entire of Wiltshire?

The whole UK, including all of Wiltshire. Send your postcode with your pictures and we will confirm dates.

Do I have to be there?

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

What happens after I send photos?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote and the next dates we have.

Will the price change on the day?

We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

How soon can you come?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.

Is there any odour?

Expect a mild smell while we’re working, which fades afterwards.

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes, for a year. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

I tried a repair kit. Can you fix it?

Regularly. The old material comes out, any rust is treated, then we repair it properly.

When we would advise against a repair

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

  • Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
  • Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
  • Cracks in acrylic we cannot reach from underneath

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

What we work on

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

Repair or replace: which is better?

A repair makes sense whenever the damage is localised. It’s a fraction of the cost of a new bath and fitting, it takes one visit, and the bathroom stays exactly as it is. Prices start from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing generally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

What you get with us

  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
  • A fixed quote before booking
  • No need to remove anything

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:

  • How many areas need work
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • What kind of damage it is
  • How many items we do on one visit

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Send photos for a quote

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • One picture of the entire bath
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

Upload pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you are in Serrington, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

What your bath is made of matters

Acrylic

Acrylic baths are moulded sheet reinforced underneath. They do not rust, but they can crack, scratch or be holed, and a crack only stays repaired if it’s supported underneath.

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are thick and very strong, finished with fired enamel. Chips can rust if left, but the bath itself lasts for generations, which makes it well worth repairing.
