Bath repair near Townwell

Common questions in Townwell

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before and we’ll plan for it.

Can you price it without visiting?

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

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

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

Do the materials smell?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.

What areas do you cover?

The whole UK, including all of Gloucestershire. Send your postcode with your pictures and we’ll offer you dates.

Can a cracked acrylic bath be fixed?

In most cases. The back of the crack is strengthened before the front is filled and refinished, so we need access under the bath.

Bath repair in Townwell without replacing anything

We repair enamelled steel, cast iron and acrylic baths. The method changes with the material: metal baths need any rust dealt with first, and acrylic cracks need support from behind. If you are dealing with a chipped rim or side and rust by the waste and overflow, we can normally put it right, on roll-top & freestanding, acrylic and pressed steel enamel alike.

Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

How to care for the repair

So the finish stays in good condition:

  • Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
  • Do not leave razors or cans standing in the bath
  • Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
  • Give the bath a quick rinse after use

A repaired bath needs no special treatment, just sensible cleaning. Skip bleach and gritty creams.

Until we visit, a strip of waterproof tape over the damage helps, so water cannot get in. Take it off before we arrive.

When a repair isn’t the answer

A repair isn’t right for every job, for example:

  • A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
  • Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we cannot get to from below
  • Metal that has corroded all the way through

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

The process

From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes a few hours, depending on the damage, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. First, we check the damage against your photos and agree the plan.
  2. Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
  3. The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
  4. We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
  5. Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.

Before we arrive

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated

Related advice

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

Why repair rather than replace?

When the bath is otherwise sound, repairing beats replacing. It’s quicker, cheaper and far less disruptive, and you keep the bath you chose. If the entire surface is worn, re-enamelling may make more sense, and we will tell you. Prices start from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

What you get with us

  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor

How we price bath repair

Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • The material
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Whether we combine several jobs

A repair generally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

How to get a fixed quote

We price nearly every job from photos. This is what we need:

  • Any details about the material
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and no obligation.

Different materials, different repairs

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.

Acrylic

An acrylic bath is a moulded sheet strengthened from below. They do not rust, but they can crack, scratch or be holed, and cracks need support from behind to stay fixed.
