Common problems we fix in Speckington

Many chips happen while the bathroom is being fitted. Tools, tiles and fittings get dropped into the bath, and the damage is not always spotted until later. Snagging repairs like these are a regular job for us.

These are the problems we are asked about most:

  • A failed DIY repair that is discoloured or lifting
  • Deep scratches in acrylic
  • Rust by the waste and overflow
  • Chips under the taps

Our hiring checklist

How we handle bath repair in Speckington

Whatever the damage, the aim is the same: a smooth, solid repair that blends in. We prepare the area properly, fill and shape it, then match the colour and gloss so it’s level with the surrounding surface. If you’re dealing with scratches you can feel with a fingernail and a chipped rim or side, we can typically put it right, whatever the material.

You are covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before booking.

How the visit works

On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we will take it from there. The job generally runs to a morning or an afternoon, tidy-up included.

  1. We protect the bath and the floor around it.
  2. We clean, key and degrease the damage.
  3. Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
  4. We match both the colour and the shine.
  5. We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, generally the next day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Clear the area around the damage

Ask for a price

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, include your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Speckington

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

If you manage property in Speckington, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send pictures for each one and we’ll come back with a combined price.

How to care for the repair

Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:

  • Put a towel in the bath if you are working above it
  • Don’t leave a fresh chip for long
  • Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
  • A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early

There is nothing special to do after a repair, just sensible cleaning. Avoid bleach-based and gritty cleaners and rinse after use.

Tape over a fresh chip or crack until it’s repaired, so water cannot get in. Remove it before the repair.

What we can’t put right

Not everything can be repaired, and we’ll tell you before we start. Repairs will not solve:

  • Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
  • Wear across the entire surface, which needs re-enamelling
  • Acrylic cracks with no access behind them

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

Speckington: your questions answered

Is there any odour?

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

How long does the repair take to cure?

Most baths can be used the next day. We’ll tell you the exact curing time when we finish.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across Somerset.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Yes, we frequently do. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.

Are you a vetted contractor?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

Is there a guarantee?

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

When can you do it?

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

Is a bath repair durable?

A properly prepared repair should last a long time, and it’s guaranteed for a year. Gentle cleaning helps.

How we price bath repair

Prices start from £95. We price every job individually, from your photos. The main factors are:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Access to the area
  • How much damage there is
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

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

Quotes from your photos

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Try to send:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

Most clients in Speckington get their price from pictures. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

What your bath is made of matters

Composite and resin

Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour matched, in much the same way.

Pressed steel

Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.

Can I fix it myself?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
