How we price bath repair

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

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Access to the area
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

Send pictures for a quote

Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:

  • A wider photo showing the entire bath
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Any details about the material

You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

Bath repair in Small Way, done in place

You don’t need a new bath because of a chip. We fill the damage, shape it to the curve of the bath and refinish it, mixing the colour on the day. Typical jobs include scuffs and scratches in the surface and chips caused by builders, across whirlpool & spa baths, pressed steel enamel and cast iron enamel.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Repairs by material

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

Pressed steel

Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.

How it works

Here’s how a visit normally runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, do the job and tidy away. Plan for a few hours, depending on the damage. Before we go, we’ll explain when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. We start by cleaning the damage and taking out loose enamel and rust.
  2. The chip or crack is filled, then sanded level with the bath.
  3. We tint the finish on the day to suit your bath’s shade of white or colour.
  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.

How to prepare

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Clear the area around the damage

How to get a price

Advice

Do you need bath repair in Small Way?

Dropped items cause the majority of chips, and a lot happen during bathroom refits. Acrylic baths crack for a different reason: the bath isn’t properly supported, so it flexes under weight.

Clients generally contact us about:

  • Damage beneath the taps
  • Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
  • Impact holes in acrylic
  • A failed DIY repair that is discoloured or lifting

FAQs for Small Way

What happens next?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote.

Is a holed acrylic bath repairable?

Generally. Send us a photo of the hole and one from under the bath if you can.

Will it make a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.

Do you cover Small Way?

Yes. We work across the UK and come to Small Way. Send pictures and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Will there be a smell?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.

What happens if you find more damage?

Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders across Somerset.

Can you repair a failed DIY repair?

Yes. We take out the old repair and do it properly. Tell us about it when you send photos.

Looking after it afterwards

A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:

  • Don’t leave a fresh chip for long
  • Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
  • Don’t leave razors or cans standing in the bath
  • Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners

Don’t leave razors, cans or hair grips in the bath, because they can mark the enamel. And fix dripping taps promptly.

Rust spreads under enamel faster than most people expect. Left for months, a small chip can grow into a large rust patch, so early repair keeps the cost down.

Repair or replace in Small Way?

Swapping a damaged bath for a new one typically means a plumber, lifting out the old bath, making good the tiles and panel and disposing of the old one. A repair fixes just the damaged area in one visit. Prices start from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Small Way. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it does not 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.

For landlords and businesses

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Small Way as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
