Bath repair near Summerleaze

Bath repair in Summerleaze, done in place

You don’t need a new bath because of a chip. We fill the damage, shape it to the curve of the bath and refinish it, with the colour mixed on site so the repair is hard to spot. Common call-outs are for a cracked acrylic bath and rust spots around the plughole, on pressed steel enamel, acrylic and roll-top & freestanding.

Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

  • Impact holes in acrylic
  • Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
  • Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
  • An old repair that has yellowed or come loose

Choosing a repair company

Why repair rather than replace?

Cast iron baths in particular are worth repairing: they’re very heavy to remove, especially upstairs, and replacing like for like is not cheap. A repair keeps it in place. Our bath repair starts from £95. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Why us?

  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface

Landlord and trade work in Summerleaze

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Summerleaze as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

Looking after it afterwards

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
  • Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
  • Don’t leave razors or cans standing in the bath
  • Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth

Keep metal objects like razors and cans off the surface, because they can mark the enamel. And fix dripping taps promptly.

Avoid standing in a cracked acrylic bath until it’s fixed. Every use opens the crack a little more, and water can get through to the floor below.

What affects the price in Summerleaze

Repairs from £95. We price every job individually. The main factors are:

  • The material and finish
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The size and number of damaged areas

Compared with replacing, repairing typically costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Getting a price from photos

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

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • A wider photo showing the whole bath

No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.

Your questions about bath repair in Summerleaze

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.

I tried a repair kit. Can you fix it?

Yes. We remove the old filler and start again. Tell us about it when you send photos.

How invisible is a bath repair?

The goal is a repair that blends in. The rest of the bath’s condition makes a difference, and we will tell you what to expect.

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

You’ll get a fixed quote back, usually with dates to choose from. You are under no obligation.

How long before I can use the bath?

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

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

When can you do it?

We’ll give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

When a repair is not the answer

To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair will not fix:

  • Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
  • A whole bath that is dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
  • Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we can’t get to from below

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

Materials we repair

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

What happens on the day

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 morning or an afternoon, tidy-up included.

  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. The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.

Preparing for the visit

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Let us know about parking or access

Should I try a DIY kit first?

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
