Bath repair in Wotton

Repair or replace in Wotton?

Swapping a damaged bath for a new one usually means a plumber, lifting out the old bath, making good the tiles and panel and disposing of the old one. A repair deals only with the damage in a single visit. Prices start from £95. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.

How we handle bath repair in Wotton

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 fixed without removing the bath, normally in one visit. Typical jobs include rust spots around the plughole and holes from dropped items, in pressed steel enamel, acrylic and roll-top & freestanding.

Every repair is covered by a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Gloucestershire.

Aftercare tips

A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:

  • Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
  • Have new chips seen to early
  • Store metal items away from the bath
  • Put a towel in the bath if you are working above it

In the first few days, avoid putting weight or bottles on the repair. After that, clean it as you would the rest of the bath without abrasive products.

Small chips are quick to repair. Leave them and they collect dirt, stain and, on metal baths, rust, so it’s worth getting them done early.

Can I fix it myself?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.

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.

Your questions about bath repair in Wotton

Is a holed acrylic bath repairable?

Usually. Send us a picture of the hole and one from under the bath if you can.

What information do you need?

Photos of the damage, a photo of the entire bath and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.

Is there a guarantee?

All our work carries a one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.

Do you repair coloured baths?

Yes. The colour is mixed on site to suit your bath, including pastel and older colours.

What areas do you cover?

We cover the entire UK, including Wotton and the rest of Gloucestershire. Send your postcode with your photos and we will offer you dates.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.

Is a cracked acrylic bath repairable?

Most of the time. The back of the crack is strengthened before the front is filled and refinished, so we need access under the bath.

Different materials, different repairs

Pressed steel

Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are thick and very strong, with a fused enamel surface. A chip down to the iron can rust, but the bath itself lasts for generations, which makes it well worth repairing.

What we do, step by step

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you’re not left guessing. Once we are there, the work takes a morning or an afternoon for most jobs. The room is left tidy and you’ll know when it can be used.

  1. Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
  2. The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased, and any rust is treated.
  3. We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
  4. Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
  5. We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, normally the next day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

How we price bath repair

Repairs from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:

  • The material and finish
  • Access to the area
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Whether we combine several jobs

A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Quotes from your photos

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

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A picture taken from further back

Most clients in Wotton get their price from pictures. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Common problems we fix in Wotton

The usual cause is something heavy dropped into the bath, and a lot happen during bathroom refits. Cracks in acrylic have a different cause: poor support underneath, so the bath flexes when it’s full.

Look out for these signs:

  • Chips caused by builders
  • Damage beneath the taps
  • An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
  • Rust spots around the plughole

What to look for in a quote

  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • Who turns up on the day
  • How your room will be protected
