Bath repair for Winterbourne Bassett homes

Work for landlords and builders

For anyone letting property in or around Winterbourne Bassett, we will quote for several properties at once. Just send photos for each address and we will come back with a combined price.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

About our bath repair in Winterbourne Bassett

Repairing baths is what we do most. A chip by the taps, a crack in the base and a rust spot by the plughole are all repaired in place, normally in one visit. Our technicians work on roll-top & freestanding, acrylic and pressed steel enamel, and people most often call us about rust spots around the plughole and damage done while the bathroom was being fitted.

You’re covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

How it works

On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take a morning or an afternoon. We clean up when we are done and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
  2. We clean, key and degrease the damage.
  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 day after.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

How to get a price

Upload photos of the damage and one of the entire item, with your SN4 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

Common problems we fix in Winterbourne Bassett

Damage during fitting is very common. Tradespeople drop tools and tiles into the bath, and the damage isn’t always spotted until later. Snagging repairs like these are a regular job for us.

Common reasons people in Winterbourne Bassett contact us are:

  • Chips under the taps
  • Chips along the edge of the bath
  • Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
  • A failed DIY repair that is discoloured or lifting

Before booking anyone

  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • Whether the price covers travel
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • How changes to the job are handled

10 questions to ask before you book

Aftercare tips

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Put a towel in the bath if you’re working above it
  • Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
  • Don’t leave razors or cans standing in the bath
  • Don’t scrub with anything abrasive

Treat the repaired area like the rest of the bath: warm water, washing-up liquid and a soft cloth. Keep scouring pads and gritty cleaners away from it.

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

What we can’t put right

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
  • Wear across the whole surface, which needs re-enamelling
  • A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before booking.

Surfaces we repair

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

Why repair rather than replace?

If the rest of the bath is in good condition, a repair is almost always the better choice. It’s quicker, cheaper and far less disruptive, and you keep the bath you chose. Where the whole surface is tired, we may suggest re-enamelling instead. Our bath repair starts from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

What you get with us

  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • Work done at your home or business
  • No extra charge for your area

Your questions about bath repair in Winterbourne Bassett

Do you cover the entire of Swindon?

All of Swindon, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.

Can you repair several things at once?

Of course, and it usually saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we will quote them together.

Can pets and children be at home?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

Do you work in Winterbourne Bassett?

Yes. We cover the entire UK and come to Winterbourne Bassett and the rest of Swindon. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

What happens if you find more damage?

We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

Is there any odour?

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

Is a holed acrylic bath repairable?

In most cases. Photos of the hole and the underside help us check.

Is it messy?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.

How we price bath repair

Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • What kind of damage it is
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • How many items we do on one visit

Compared with replacing, repairing typically costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Send photos for a quote

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

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • One picture of the entire bath
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire bath, we can give you a fixed quote.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
