About our bath repair in Sots Hole

Whatever has happened to the bath, we aim for the same result: a smooth, solid repair that blends in. Proper preparation, careful filling and shaping, then colour and gloss matching so it sits flush with the rest of the bath. If you are dealing with a hole punched through by something heavy and deep scratches in acrylic, we can usually put it right, on cast iron enamel, roll-top & freestanding and acrylic alike.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months in Sots Hole and everywhere else. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Work for landlords and builders

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Sots Hole use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it normally costs far less than a refit.

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, photos and access details and we will handle the rest.

Different materials, different repairs

Composite and resin

Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid, and often freestanding. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, just like other baths.

Cast iron

A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that’s the part we put right.

What affects the price in Sots Hole

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

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • The material
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

How to get a fixed quote

Before you send pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • The material, if you know it
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. There is no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.

Repairing versus replacing in Sots Hole

Cast iron baths in particular are worth repairing: they’re very heavy to remove, especially upstairs, and a like-for-like replacement can be expensive. A repair keeps it in place. Our bath repair starts from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing usually costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Why book with us

  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures

How it works

You do not need to empty the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and get going once we have agreed what we’re doing. It typically takes two to three hours for most chips, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.

  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 mix the colour on the day to match your bath’s exact shade.
  4. We apply the finish coats and polish the repair so it blends in.
  5. Once it has cured, normally by the following day, the bath is ready to use.

Preparing for the visit

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Open a window if you can

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • Chips on the rim or sides
  • A failed DIY repair that is discoloured or lifting
  • Damage beneath the taps
  • Scratches you can feel with a fingernail

Sots Hole: your questions answered

Will the repair show?

We aim for a repair you can’t easily find. The rest of the bath’s condition makes a difference.

Can landlords book you?

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

Will you leave a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.

Is there any odour?

A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help.

What areas do you cover?

We work UK-wide, so Sots Hole is covered. Prices do not change with location.

Do you come to Sots Hole?

We do. Repair technicians travel to Sots Hole from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.

What happens next?

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

Will the repair last?

A properly prepared repair should last a long time, and ours come with a one-year guarantee. Gentle cleaning helps.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
