Bath repair in Shurton

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. Repairing it leaves it where it is. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Why book with us

  • One visit for most repairs
  • Colour-matched on site
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor

What affects the price in Shurton

Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from photos. This is what makes a difference:

  • How much damage there is
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How many items we do on one visit

We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Shurton. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Quotes from your photos

Two or three clear photos are typically enough. It helps if you send:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A wider photo showing the whole bath

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos using our quote form or call us. We’ll say straight away if a repair is the right fix.

Common questions in Shurton

Can you repair a hole in a bath?

In most cases. Photos of the hole and the underside help us check.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.

Can you repair a failed DIY repair?

Yes. We remove the old filler and start again. Tell us about it when you send pictures.

Is a bath repair permanent?

Done properly, a repair lasts for years, and it’s guaranteed for a year. Gentle cleaning helps.

What happens after I send pictures?

We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.

Do you repair coloured baths?

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

Do I have to be there?

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

What your bath is made of matters

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

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 what we repair.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

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.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

When to call us in Shurton

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.

Most people get in touch after spotting something like this:

  • Snagging damage from a refit
  • A kit repair that didn’t last
  • Chips under the taps
  • Deep scratches in acrylic

Before booking anyone

  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • How the colour is matched
  • What aftercare is recommended

Our hiring checklist

Landlords, agents and businesses in Shurton

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Honest limits

We will not take on work that won’t last, so these are the limits:

  • A whole bath that is dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
  • Cracks in acrylic we can’t reach from underneath
  • Metal that has corroded all the way through

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before booking.

Materials we work on in Shurton

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

The process

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and get going once we’ve agreed what we are doing. It generally takes two to three hours for most chips, and you can get on with other things while we are there.

  1. We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
  2. Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
  3. We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
  4. We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
  5. The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.

Before we arrive

  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

How to get a price

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.
