When we’d advise against a repair

Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits too:

  • Wear across the entire surface, which needs re-enamelling
  • A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
  • Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath

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

Materials we repair

  • Cast iron enamel
  • Roll-top & freestanding

Bath repair in West Marden, done in place

A typical bath repair is a few hours’ work, and the bath is back in use the day after. There’s no need to book a plumber or tiler, because the bath does not move. Whether it’s a chip where the taps sit and rusty patches near the plughole, we can help, on acrylic, cast iron enamel and whirlpool & spa baths alike.

You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we will come back.

What we’re called out for in West Marden

The usual cause is something heavy dropped into the bath, and building work is a common culprit. Cracks in acrylic have a different cause: the bath is not properly supported, so it flexes under weight.

Get in touch if you’ve noticed any of these:

  • Snagging damage from a refit
  • A chip where the taps sit
  • Rusty patches near the plughole
  • Cracks in an acrylic bath

What your quote should include

  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • How your room will be protected
  • What prep work is covered
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers

The process

You don’t need to empty the room. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and get going once we’ve agreed what we’re doing. It typically takes a morning or an afternoon, and you can get on with other things while we are there.

  1. Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
  2. The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased.
  3. Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
  4. Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
  5. We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, typically the day after.

Preparing for the visit

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

Can I fix it myself?

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, a professional repair is worth it.

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

Common questions in West Marden

Does someone need to be in?

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

Do you cover West Marden?

We do. We send a technician to West Marden for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Is a cracked acrylic bath repairable?

In most cases. We reinforce the crack from behind, then fill and refinish the front, so access behind the panel is important.

What happens next?

We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.

How soon can you come?

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

Can you repair a chip on a coloured bath?

Yes, we match coloured baths too. The colour is tinted by hand on the day.

Is it messy?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.

Is repairing better than replacing?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

How we price bath repair

Prices start from £95. We price every job individually. The main factors are:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • The colour and finish to match
  • How many areas need work
  • Whether we combine several jobs

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.

Send pictures for a quote

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A photo taken from further back

For a price in West Marden, pictures are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

Work for landlords and builders

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in West Marden as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it normally costs far less than a refit.

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

Repairs by material

Pressed steel

Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. 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 don’t rust, but they can crack, scratch or be holed, and cracks need support from behind to stay fixed.

Aftercare tips

Aftercare is simple:

  • Have new chips seen to early
  • Put a towel in the bath if you’re working above it
  • Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
  • Check that an acrylic bath doesn’t move when you stand in it

Give the repair the full curing time we recommend before using the bath. After that, gentle cleaning keeps it looking good.

Until we visit, a strip of waterproof tape over the damage helps, so water can’t get in. Remove it before the repair.
