Bath repair for Stowey homes

How we price bath repair

Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:

  • How much damage there is
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

Set against the cost of replacement, repairing usually costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Send pictures for a quote

You can take the photos on your phone. Ensure they show:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • The material, if you know it
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed quote the same day in most cases.

Bath repair in Stowey without replacing anything

A typical bath repair is a few hours’ work, and you can typically bathe again the following day. You won’t need a plumber or tiler, because nothing is disconnected. Common call-outs are for a chip where the taps sit and cracks in an acrylic bath, on cast iron enamel, acrylic and pressed steel enamel.

You are covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Aftercare tips

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:

  • A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
  • Do not scrub with anything abrasive
  • Give the bath a quick rinse after use
  • Keep metal cans and razors off the surface

Use gentle, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy items on the repaired area. Deal with new chips early, before rust sets in.

Do not leave a chip on a steel or cast iron bath. Once water reaches the metal, rust begins, turning a quick repair into a bigger one.

Does someone need to be in?

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

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day.

How much does bath repair cost in Stowey?

Prices start from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Do you cover the whole of Bath and North East Somerset?

We work UK-wide, and that includes Stowey. Our prices are the same everywhere.

Will the repair last?

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

Can you match an avocado or pink bath?

Yes, coloured baths are no problem. We tint the finish to your bath on site.

Do you charge for travel?

Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Landlord and trade work in Stowey

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

If you manage property in Stowey, we will quote for several properties at once. Send pictures for each one and we’ll come back with a combined price.

DIY kit or professional repair?

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

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.

How the visit works

The work is clean and fairly quiet. Protection goes down first, then the work takes two to three hours for most chips. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
  2. We clean, key and degrease the damage.
  3. We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
  4. Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
  5. We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, normally the next day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Ask for a price

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture 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 no obligation.

Advice

When a repair isn’t the answer

Not everything can be repaired, and we will tell you before we start. We cannot fix:

  • Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
  • A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
  • Cracks in acrylic we can’t reach from underneath

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

Surfaces we repair

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

Common problems we fix in Stowey

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.

These are the problems we’re asked about most:

  • Impact holes in acrylic
  • Rust spots around the plughole
  • A cracked acrylic bath
  • Snagging damage from a refit

Before booking anyone

  • Aftercare advice
  • How the colour is matched
  • How your room will be protected
  • What preparation is included

How to compare quotes

Should you replace it?

People frequently assume a cracked or chipped bath has to come out. Usually it does not: a proper repair gives it years more use, without the cost and upheaval of replacing it. Our bath repair starts from £95. A repair normally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.

  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • Typically one visit, start to finish
