About our bath repair in Winstone

A repair fixes just the damaged area and blends it into the rest of the bath, which costs far less than replacing a fitted bath. You can normally use the bath the day after. Whether it’s damage done while the bathroom was being fitted and a chip where the taps sit, we can help.

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

When a repair isn’t the answer

We won’t take on work that will not last, so these are the limits:

  • A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
  • A steel bath rusted through
  • A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before you book.

Materials we work on in Winstone

  • Cast iron enamel

When to call us in Winstone

Rust usually starts where water sits, by the plughole, beneath dripping taps or in an unrepaired chip. Water on bare metal causes rust that creeps under the surrounding enamel.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
  • Chips on the rim or sides
  • Chips caused by builders
  • Rust spots around the plughole

Before you book anyone

  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • Aftercare advice

How to compare quotes

How the visit works

We turn up when we said we would and checks the damage against your pictures first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. Most visits take a few hours, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. We start by cleaning the damage and taking out loose enamel and rust.
  2. Next we fill the damage and sand it smooth and level.
  3. The colour is mixed on the spot to match your bath.
  4. We apply the finish coats and polish the repair so it blends in.
  5. The repair is left to cure, and most baths can be used the following day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

Advice

Prices and what affects them

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

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • The type of damage

Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.

How to get a fixed price

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

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • A wider photo showing the whole bath

There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Repairs by material

Acrylic

Acrylic baths are moulded sheet reinforced underneath. They don’t rust, but they can crack, scratch or be holed, and a crack only stays repaired if it’s supported underneath.

Composite and resin

Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid, and often freestanding. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, in much the same way.

For landlords and businesses

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Winstone use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit.

Keeping it looking good

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:

  • Store metal items away from the bath
  • Put a towel in the bath if you’re working above it
  • Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
  • Get a dripping tap fixed promptly

Use gentle, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy items on the repaired area. Get any new chip seen to quickly, before rust sets in.

If water is getting through a crack, stop using the bath until it’s repaired. Leaks under a bath can damage floors and ceilings.

FAQs for Winstone

Is a bath repair durable?

Done properly, a repair lasts for years, and it’s guaranteed for a year. Gentle cleaning helps it last.

When can you do it?

That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.

Will you leave a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.

Can you match an avocado or pink bath?

Yes. We mix the colour on the day to match, including pastel and older colours.

Can a cracked acrylic bath be fixed?

Often, yes, if we can reach the underside to reinforce it. Check under the bath panel, or send us a picture.

Will the repair show?

The goal is a repair that blends in. How well it disappears depends on the condition of the rest of the bath, and we’ll tell you what to expect.

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

Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
