Need bath repair in Theescombe?

Can I fix it myself?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. 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.

How we handle bath repair in Theescombe

A damaged bath doesn’t have to mean a new bathroom. 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. Whether it’s a failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting and damage done while the bathroom was being fitted, we can help, whatever the material.

We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Aftercare tips

Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:

  • Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
  • Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
  • Put a towel in the bath if you’re working above it
  • Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners

A repaired bath needs no special treatment, beyond gentle cleaning. Skip bleach and gritty creams and rinse after use.

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.

Theescombe questions

I tried a repair kit. Can you fix it?

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

Are you accredited?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

Is it messy?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.

How much does bath repair cost in Theescombe?

Prices start from £95. We give a fixed quote based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up and a photo of the whole item and your postcode.

Do I need to be at home?

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

Is there a guarantee?

Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.

Can landlords book you?

Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are thick and very strong, finished with fired enamel. A chip down to the iron can rust, but the bath itself lasts for generations, which makes it well worth repairing.

Acrylic

Acrylic baths are moulded sheet reinforced underneath. There’s no rust, but cracks, holes and scratches happen, and cracks need support from behind to stay fixed.

When to call us in Theescombe

Most bath damage comes from something dropped: a shampoo bottle, a shower head, a tile or a tool during a refit. On enamelled baths, any chip down to the metal will start to rust.

Send us a picture if you notice any of these:

  • Snagging damage from a refit
  • A failed DIY repair that is discoloured or lifting
  • Chips along the edge of the bath
  • A chip where the taps sit

Choosing a repair company

What we do, step by step

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a morning or an afternoon. If anything looks different from your pictures, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.

  1. Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
  2. We clean, key and degrease the damage, and any rust is treated.
  3. We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
  4. Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
  5. We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the day after.

Before we arrive

  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Make sure the area is dry

How to get a price

Send us a photo of the damage and one of the entire item, with your GL5 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

Repairing it fixes just the damaged area in one visit. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

Honest limits

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • A steel bath rusted through
  • A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
  • Cracks in acrylic we cannot reach from underneath

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before booking.
