Book bath repair in Vole

Keeping it looking good

So the finish stays in good condition for years:

  • Ensure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
  • Have new chips seen to early
  • Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
  • Do not leave razors or cans standing in the bath

Care for the repair the same way as the bath: warm water, washing-up liquid and a soft cloth. Keep scouring pads and gritty cleaners away from it.

If water is getting through a crack, stop using the bath. Water under the bath can damage the floor and the ceiling below.

Bath repair in Vole without replacing anything

Whatever has happened to the bath, we aim for the same result: a repair that is smooth, sound and hard to spot. Proper preparation, careful filling and shaping, then colour and gloss matching so it’s level with the surrounding surface. Common call-outs are for rust by the waste and overflow and a chip where the taps sit, on acrylic, roll-top & freestanding and pressed steel enamel.

Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee.

Common questions in Vole

Is the work guaranteed?

All our work carries a one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.

How quickly can you book me in?

We will give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Do you hold any accreditations?

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

Something went through my bath. Can it be fixed?

Usually, yes, if we can reach behind it. The hole is backed, filled and refinished to match.

What areas do you cover?

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

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.

Can you redo an old repair?

Yes, we do this frequently. The old material comes out, any rust is treated, then we repair it properly.

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

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

Do you need bath repair in Vole?

Dropped items cause the majority of chips, and building work is a common culprit. Cracks in acrylic have a different cause: poor support underneath, so the bath flexes when it’s full.

These are the problems we’re asked about most:

  • An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
  • Rusty patches near the plughole
  • Holes from dropped items
  • Scuffs and scratches in the surface

Comparing quotes

  • If travel is included in the price
  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT

Choosing a repair company

Repair or replace: which is better?

Many people think a damaged bath means a new one. In most cases it does not: a proper repair gives it years more use, and costs far less than the disruption of a replacement. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

What you get with us

  • Same prices wherever you are
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • Most jobs done in one visit

Repairs by material

Pressed steel

Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.

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.

Landlord and trade work in Vole

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Somerset and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, pictures and access details and we’ll handle the rest.

How it works

From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes a morning or an afternoon, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
  2. We clean, key and degrease the damage, and any rust is treated.
  3. Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
  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.

Getting ready for the visit

Related advice

DIY repairs versus a professional job

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

When a repair isn’t the answer

To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:

  • Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
  • A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
  • Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we can’t get to from below

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.
