Bath repair in Wincombe, done in place

A damaged bath does not have to mean a new bathroom. We fill the damage, shape it to the curve of the bath and refinish it, with the colour mixed on site so the repair is hard to spot. Our repair technicians work on acrylic, roll-top & freestanding and pressed steel enamel, and common reasons people contact us are holes from dropped items and cracks in an acrylic bath.

Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

What your bath is made of matters

Composite and resin

Composite baths are dense and solid, and frequently freestanding. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour-matched, just like other baths.

Pressed steel

Pressed steel is thinner and lighter, with an enamel finish like cast iron. Chips rust quickly on steel, particularly by the plughole, so repair chips early.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

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.

Looking after it afterwards

So the finish stays in good condition for years:

  • Check that an acrylic bath doesn’t move when you stand in it
  • Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
  • Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
  • Get a dripping tap fixed promptly

Give the repair the full curing time we recommend before using the bath. From then on, mild cleaning is all it needs.

Until we visit, a strip of waterproof tape over the damage helps, to keep water out. Remove it before the repair.

Wincombe: your questions answered

Is a bath repair permanent?

A properly prepared repair should last a long time, and ours come with a one-year guarantee. Gentle cleaning helps.

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

We review the pictures and send a fixed quote and the next dates we have.

Is there any odour?

It depends on the job, but often a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.

Are there extra charges for Wincombe?

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

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

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

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.

Can you redo an old repair?

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

How it works

Your technician turns up when we said we would, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. The work itself takes a few hours, depending on the damage, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
  2. We fill the damage and sand it flush with the surrounding surface.
  3. We mix the colour on the day to match your bath’s exact shade.
  4. Finish coats go on, then the repair is polished to blend in.
  5. The repair is left to cure, and most baths can be used the day after.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Ask for a price

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.

How we price bath repair

Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • The material and finish

Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Send pictures for a quote

Two or three clear photos are usually enough. Try to include:

  • A picture taken from further back
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • The material, if you know it
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

When to call us in Wincombe

Rust tends to begin where water collects, around the waste, under the taps or in an old chip. Water on bare metal causes rust that creeps under the surrounding enamel.

The things customers typically mention when they call are:

  • Chips under the taps
  • Impact holes in acrylic
  • Cracks in an acrylic bath
  • Chips on the rim or sides

What to look for in a quote

  • Who will actually do the work
  • What happens if they find more damage
  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • Whether they match the colour on site

How to compare quotes

When a repair isn’t the answer

We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair won’t do:

  • Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
  • Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
  • Acrylic cracks with no access behind them

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.
