How we handle bath repair in Southam

A repair fixes just the damaged area and blends it into the rest of the bath, which is far cheaper than replacing a fitted bath. Most baths can be used again the next day. We are frequently asked to fix a chipped rim or side and hairline or through cracks in acrylic, across whirlpool & spa baths, roll-top & freestanding and acrylic.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there is a problem and we’ll sort it.

For landlords and businesses

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

For anyone letting property in or around Southam, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we’ll come back with a combined price.

Do you need bath repair in Southam?

Baths take more knocks than people expect: bottles, shower heads and razors are dropped every day, and fittings press hard against the enamel. Sooner or later, most baths pick up a chip.

If you can see any of these, send us a photo:

  • A cracked acrylic bath
  • A hole punched through by something heavy
  • Snagging damage from a refit
  • A kit repair that didn’t last

Choosing a repair company

Looking after it afterwards

Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:

  • Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
  • Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
  • Ensure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
  • Cover the bath during DIY or decorating

For the first few days, keep heavy bottles off the repaired spot. After that, clean it as you would the rest of the bath without abrasive products.

Until we visit, a strip of waterproof tape over the damage helps, so water cannot get in. Take it off before we arrive.

What happens on the day

We turn up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. Most visits take a few hours, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
  2. Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
  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. Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.

How to prepare

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Ask for a price

You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

Advice

Southam questions

Is there a guarantee?

All our work carries a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Do you cover the entire of Gloucestershire?

Across the UK, and that includes Southam. Prices don’t change with location.

I tried a repair kit. Can you fix it?

Yes. We take out the old repair and do it properly. Mention it when you send pictures.

When can you do it?

Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Generally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in Southam.

Do you come to Southam?

Yes. We cover the whole UK and come to Southam. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

We review the photos and send a fixed quote with dates.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:

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

There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Getting a price from pictures

Before you send photos, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • A wider photo showing the whole bath
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

To get a price, send a couple of pictures through our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

Repairing versus replacing in Southam

Cast iron baths especially are worth keeping: getting one out, particularly from an upstairs bathroom, is a big job, and a like-for-like replacement can be expensive. A repair keeps it in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You will see the full price before booking, with nothing added on the day.

Why Southam customers choose us

  • Colour-matched on site
  • A fixed quote before booking
  • Work done at your home or business
  • No extra charge for your area

See our pricing and bath cost comparison.

Honest limits

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:

  • A steel bath rusted through
  • Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
  • A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.
