About our bath repair in Wickwar

Most of our bath repairs take a few hours, and the bath is back in use the following day. You will not need a plumber or tiler, because nothing is disconnected. Our technicians work on acrylic, whirlpool & spa baths and roll-top & freestanding, and the jobs we see most are chips under the taps and a cracked acrylic bath.

All our work is covered by our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Gloucestershire.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Composite and resin

Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour matched, in much the same way.

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

The process

Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. The work itself takes a few hours, depending on the damage, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
  2. Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
  3. We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
  4. We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
  5. The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Advice

Common questions in Wickwar

Is a holed acrylic bath repairable?

Typically, yes, if we can reach behind it. We back the hole, fill it and refinish the surface.

Is a cracked acrylic bath repairable?

Usually, yes, as long as we can get to the back of the crack to support it. Take off the bath panel and check, or send us a picture.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

In most cases. The old repair comes out first.

Is there a call-out fee?

Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Generally, 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.

Is a bath repair permanent?

Done properly, a repair lasts for years, and ours come with a one-year guarantee. Gentle cleaning helps.

Do you do work for letting agents?

We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

How invisible is a bath repair?

On a bath in good condition, a colour matched repair is very hard to spot. On worn enamel, it can look shinier than the rest.

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, then guarantee it for a year.

For a hairline mark somewhere you will 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.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Wickwar. What changes the price is:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The type of damage
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

A repair typically costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Quotes from your photos

Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Please include:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • One picture of the entire bath

No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.

Work for landlords and builders

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Gloucestershire and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

For anyone letting property in or around Wickwar, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send photos for each one and we will price them together.

Common problems we fix in Wickwar

Heavy toiletries are the biggest single cause of chips. Taps and wastes cause problems too: water sits around them, and any chip there soon rusts.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
  • Cracks in an acrylic bath
  • Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
  • Scratches you can feel with a fingernail

What to look for in a quote

Aftercare tips

To keep it looking its best for years:

  • Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
  • Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
  • Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
  • Store metal items away from the bath

Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and try not to drop heavy bottles on the repair. Deal with new chips early, before rust can start.

Stop using the bath if a crack lets water through until it’s repaired. Leaks under a bath can damage floors and ceilings.
