Bath repair near Taynton

Bath repair at your home in Taynton

Repairing baths is what we do most. Chips on the rim, rust around the waste and cracks in acrylic are all repaired in place, normally in one visit. Our technicians work on roll-top & freestanding, acrylic and pressed steel enamel, and common reasons people get in touch are chips caused by builders and a hole punched through by something heavy.

Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

For landlords and businesses

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 Taynton as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it typically costs far less than a refit.

How the visit works

We begin by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we are doing. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. Allow a few hours, and we’ll tell you if anything changes.

  1. Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
  2. The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased, and any rust is treated.
  3. Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
  4. We match both the colour and the shine.
  5. We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the following day.

Before we arrive

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

Honest limits

We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair won’t do:

  • Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
  • Cracks in acrylic we can’t reach from underneath
  • Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.

What we work on

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

Looking after it afterwards

Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:

  • Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
  • Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
  • Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
  • Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby

Do not leave razors, cans or hair grips in the bath, because they can mark the enamel. And fix dripping taps promptly.

Rust under enamel spreads surprisingly quickly. A chip the size of a fingernail can become a much larger patch if it’s left for months, so it pays to deal with it early.

DIY kit or professional repair?

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

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, then guarantee it for a year.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Taynton. The price comes down to:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • How much damage there is
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Unusual colours or finishes

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You will see the full price before you book, with nothing added on the day.

Send photos for a quote

Phone photos are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Just make sure we can see:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Any details about the material
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • A wider photo showing the whole bath

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.

Repairs by material

Acrylic

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

Cast iron

Cast iron is heavy and rigid, finished with fired enamel. A chip down to the iron can rust, but the bath itself lasts for generations, so it’s always worth repairing.

Repair or replace in Taynton?

A new bath brings a chain of other jobs: tiles along the rim generally crack when it comes out, the panel may not fit the new one, and a plumber has to disconnect and reconnect everything. Repairing the damage avoids all of that. Our bath repair starts from £95. A repair typically costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.

Why us?

  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
  • Fixed prices from your photos
  • No extra charge for your area
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface

Common questions in Taynton

Can a cracked acrylic bath be fixed?

Often, yes, if we can reach the underside to reinforce it. Check under the bath panel, or send us a picture.

Is there a guarantee?

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

How long does the repair take to cure?

Typically the day after. We’ll tell you the exact curing time when we finish.

Will the repair show?

On a bath in good condition, a colour-matched repair is very hard to spot. On older, dull enamel the repair can look glossier than the area around it.

Will it make a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.

Do you charge for travel?

No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.

What does bath repair cost?

Repairs from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You will get a fixed figure before booking.
