Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed price from pictures. These are the things that affect it:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • How many areas need work
  • The material and finish
  • How many items we do on one visit

What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.

How to get a fixed price

When you take your pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • The material, if you know it
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job the same day in most cases.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

What happens on the day

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 photos, 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. Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
  4. We match both the colour and the shine.
  5. We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the following day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

Advice

What we are called out for in Watchet

The usual cause is something heavy dropped into the bath, and a lot happen during bathroom refits. Acrylic baths crack for a different reason: poor support underneath, so the bath flexes when it’s full.

Signs it’s time to call us include:

  • A cracked acrylic bath
  • A kit repair that didn’t last
  • Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
  • A chip where the taps sit

Before you book anyone

  • Who will actually do the work
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • What happens if they find more damage
  • Whether the price covers travel

Choosing a repair company

Your questions about bath repair in Watchet

Is there a call-out fee?

No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.

What about rust by the waste?

Yes. We remove the rust and loose enamel, fill the area, then colour-match the finish.

Do you work in Watchet?

Yes. We work across the UK and come to Watchet and the rest of Somerset. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Usually, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Generally, yes. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send pictures.

Will it make a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Watchet

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Watchet as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

When a repair isn’t the answer

Some jobs are not right for a repair, for example:

  • A steel bath rusted through
  • Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
  • Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet

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

Materials we work on in Watchet

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

Repair or replace: which is better?

Many people think a damaged bath means a new one. Typically it doesn’t: a repair keeps the bath in service for years, and costs far less than the disruption of a replacement. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.

Why us?

  • Work done at your home or business
  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • One visit for most repairs
  • One price list for the whole UK

How to look after the repair

Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:

  • Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
  • Don’t leave razors or cans standing in the bath
  • Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
  • Do not leave a fresh chip for long

Leave the repair to cure for as long as we say before using the bath. After that, gentle cleaning keeps it looking good.

Avoid standing in a cracked acrylic bath until it’s fixed. Each time it flexes, the crack grows, and water can get through to the floor below.
