Bath repair for West Compton homes

Different materials, different repairs

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

Composite and resin

Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid, and frequently freestanding. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, just like other baths.

Bath repair at your home in West Compton

We repair just the damaged spot and colour-match it to the bath, which is far cheaper than replacing a fitted bath and the tiles around it. Most baths can be used again the following day. Whether it’s damage beneath the taps and rust by the waste and overflow, we can help.

A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

We understand the appeal of fixing it 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.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

Work for landlords and builders

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

How to care for the repair

Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:

  • Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
  • Check that an acrylic bath doesn’t move when you stand in it
  • Don’t leave razors or cans standing in the bath
  • Do not leave a fresh chip for long

Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy items on the repaired area. Deal with new chips early, before rust sets in.

Tape over a fresh chip or crack until it’s repaired, to keep water out. Remove it before the repair.

West Compton questions

Is a bath repair permanent?

It should, as long as the bath is firm and the area was prepared well. It’s covered by our one-year guarantee.

What happens if you find more damage?

If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.

Can landlords book you?

Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

What information do you need?

Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we’ll take it from there.

Is the work guaranteed?

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.

Do you cover the entire of Somerset?

The whole UK, including all of Somerset. Just include your postcode and we’ll confirm dates.

Does someone need to be in?

We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.

When can you do it?

That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.

Honest limits

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair won’t do:

  • Wear across the entire surface, which needs re-enamelling
  • Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
  • Acrylic cracks with no access behind them

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

Materials we repair

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

Do you need bath repair in West Compton?

Most bath damage comes from something dropped: a shampoo bottle, a shower head, a tile or a tool during a refit. On steel and cast iron baths, any chip down to the metal will start to rust.

You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:

  • A failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting
  • Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
  • A hole punched through by something heavy
  • A cracked acrylic bath

10 questions to ask before booking

How the visit works

Once we are through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes a few hours, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
  2. The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased, 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.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Clear the area around the damage

Advice

Should you replace it?

A new bath brings a chain of other jobs: the tiles sitting on the rim tend to break, a new panel is often needed, and the plumbing has to be disconnected and refitted. A repair skips all of it. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for West Compton. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

What you get with us

  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • Normally one visit, start to finish
  • Same prices wherever you are
