About our bath repair in Thomastown

Most of our bath repairs take a few hours, and the bath is back in use the next day. You won’t need a plumber or tiler, because nothing is disconnected. Common call-outs are for cracks in an acrylic bath and a chipped rim or side, across whirlpool & spa baths, cast iron enamel and acrylic.

Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

What happens on the day

Here’s how a visit normally runs: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and clear up. Allow two to three hours for most chips. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. We protect the bath and the floor around it.
  2. We clean, key and degrease the damage.
  3. We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
  4. Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
  5. We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, typically the next day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Different materials, different repairs

Composite and resin

Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour matched, just like other baths.

Pressed steel

Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.

Can I fix it myself?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.

Signs you need bath repair in Thomastown

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.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
  • Holes from dropped items
  • A failed DIY repair that is discoloured or lifting
  • Scratches you can feel with a fingernail

Before you book anyone

  • How to care for the finish
  • How the room is protected while they work
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • When it can be used again

For landlords and businesses

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

How we price bath repair

Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:

  • What the surface is made of
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • How much damage there is

The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book.

Quotes from your pictures

You can normally get a fixed quote without us visiting. To make it quick:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

Send us a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you’re in Thomastown, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

Your questions about bath repair in Thomastown

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’ll tell you what to expect.

Do you charge for travel?

We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.

Are you accredited?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

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

Prices start from £95. Every job gets a fixed price from your photos. Send a close-up and a picture of the whole item and your postcode.

Do the materials smell?

A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.

Something went through my bath. Can it be fixed?

Typically. Photos of the hole and the underside help us check.

Which areas do you work in?

Across the UK. Prices do not change with location.

Is a repair better than a new one?

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

Repair or replace: which is better?

A new bath costs more than the bath itself: removal and disposal, plumbing, a new panel, tiling and decorating. A repair is one job, done in one visit. Prices start from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing usually costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Why us?

  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • One visit for most repairs

What we can’t put right

To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:

  • A whole bath that is dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
  • Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
  • Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet

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