Keeping it looking good

To keep it looking its best:

  • Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
  • Do not leave razors or cans standing in the bath
  • Put a towel in the bath if you are working above it
  • A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early

There is nothing special to do after a repair. Avoid bleach-based and gritty cleaners and give it a rinse after each bath.

Tape over a fresh chip or crack until it’s repaired, so water can’t get in. Take it off before we arrive.

Different materials, different repairs

Composite and resin

Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, just like other baths.

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

What bath repair costs

Prices start from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How easy the damage is to reach

Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

How to get a fixed quote

When you take your pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • Any details about the material
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A wider photo showing the entire bath
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job without visiting.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

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.

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

Stretcholt: your questions answered

When can you do it?

We’ll give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.

Is there a call-out fee?

There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.

What does bath repair cost?

Repairs from £95. Every job gets a fixed quote from your pictures. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your TA6 postcode.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you will get one combined price.

Can you repair a failed DIY repair?

Regularly. We strip it out, deal with any rust and repair it again.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We will tell you when the room can be used again.

What information do you need?

Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we will do the rest.

How invisible is a bath repair?

On a glossy bath, you will struggle to find it. On worn enamel, it can look shinier than the rest.

What a repair can’t fix

A repair isn’t always the answer, and we will tell you before we start. We can’t fix:

  • Cracks in acrylic we cannot reach from underneath
  • Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
  • Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet

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

Surfaces we repair

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

Landlord and trade work in Stretcholt

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Stretcholt as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Somerset and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

What happens on the day

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, do the job and clear up. Plan for a few hours, depending on the damage from start to finish. Before we go, we will explain how long to leave it and how to look after it.

  1. We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
  2. Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
  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. The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

How to get a price

For a price in Stretcholt, pictures are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
