Repairing versus replacing in Tickshill

Many people think a damaged bath means a new one. Normally it doesn’t: a repair keeps the bath in service for years, without the cost and upheaval of replacing it. Prices start from £95. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.

Why book with us

  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • Colour-matched on site
  • Repair technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • Most jobs done in one visit

Read our prices page and resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.

What your bath is made of matters

Pressed steel

Steel baths are lighter than cast iron, but have a similar enamel surface. Chips rust quickly on steel, especially around the waste, so repair chips early.

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.

When to call us in Tickshill

Acrylic baths that crack nearly always have a support problem. Loose legs, no proper cradle or a floor that gives let the bath move.

Contact us if you’ve noticed any of these:

  • Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
  • A hole punched through by something heavy
  • Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
  • Rusty patches near the plughole

Questions to ask before you book

  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • How soon you can use it again
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show

Work for landlords and builders

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Questions from Tickshill

Can you quote from photos?

Normally, yes. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.

How much does bath repair cost in Tickshill?

Repairs from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Can you match an avocado or pink bath?

Yes, coloured baths are no problem. We tint the finish to your bath on site.

Is a repair better than a new one?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.

What areas do you cover?

The whole UK, including all of Gloucestershire. Send your postcode with your photos and we will offer you dates.

Will the repair last?

Done properly, a repair lasts for years, and ours come with a one-year guarantee. Gentle cleaning helps.

Do you hold any accreditations?

We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

Will I be able to see the repair?

The goal is a repair that blends in. How well it disappears depends on the condition of the rest of the bath, and we’ll tell you what to expect.

What affects the price in Tickshill

Repairs from £95. There is no charge for travel to Tickshill. The price depends on:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The material and finish
  • What kind of damage it is

There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Getting a price from photos

Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • The material, if you know it
  • One picture of the entire bath
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

We price from pictures so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

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 then the old filler has to be removed first.

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, a professional repair is worth it.

Honest limits

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:

  • Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
  • A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
  • Metal that has corroded all the way through

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.

Materials we work on in Tickshill

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

What we do, step by step

Here’s how a visit generally runs: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and clear up. Plan for a few hours, depending on the damage. Before we go, we’ll explain how long to leave it and how to look after it.

  1. We start by cleaning the damage and taking out loose enamel and rust.
  2. Next we fill the damage and sand it smooth and level.
  3. We tint the finish on the day to suit your bath’s shade of white or colour.
  4. We apply the finish coats and polish the repair so it blends in.
  5. The repair is left to cure, and most baths can be used the next day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Getting a price

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole bath, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
