What your bath is made of matters

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

Cast iron

A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that is what we repair.

Do you need bath repair in Street?

A bath gets knocked about more than you’d think: bottles, shower heads and razors are dropped every day, and taps and wastes are tightened against the surface. Over time, chips and rust spots are almost inevitable.

The most common problems we’re called about are:

  • Rust spots around the plughole
  • Impact holes in acrylic
  • A chip where the taps sit
  • Scratches you can feel with a fingernail

Before booking anyone

  • Who turns up on the day
  • What aftercare is recommended
  • What happens if they find more damage
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?

Our hiring checklist

What a repair can’t fix

We’d rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:

  • A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
  • Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
  • Cracks in acrylic we can’t reach from underneath

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before booking.

Materials we repair

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

Your questions about bath repair in Street

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

Can you quote from pictures?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.

Do you charge for travel?

There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

How do I get a price for bath repair in Street?

Repairs from £95. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You’ll get a fixed figure before you book.

What information do you need?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

Is my repair covered?

All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.

Do the materials smell?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.

Work for landlords and builders

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Street as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it usually costs far less than a refit.

How it works

There’s not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we will take it from there. Most visits take a few hours, depending on the damage, including clearing up.

  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. The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
  4. The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
  5. The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.

Before we arrive

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

Getting a price

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Street. The price depends on:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • What the surface is made of

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book, with nothing added on the day.

How to get a fixed quote

Most quotes are done from photos alone. To help us price it:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • Any details about the material
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A wider photo showing the whole bath

To get a price, send a couple of photos using our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

Why repair rather than replace?

Cast iron baths in particular are worth repairing: 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. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.

What you get with us

  • One visit for most repairs
  • Colour-matched on site
  • We leave the room as we found it
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job

DIY repairs versus a professional job

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
