What we’re called out for in Yate

Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- Snagging damage from a refit
- An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
- Cracks in an acrylic bath
- Rust by the waste and overflow

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. This is what makes a difference:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- How much damage there is
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The material
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Getting a price from pictures
Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Please include:
- Any details about the material
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
Most customers in Yate get their price from photos. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.
Work for landlords and builders
We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, pictures and access details.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
Different materials, different repairs
Pressed steel
Steel baths are lighter than cast iron, but have a similar enamel surface. Exposed steel rusts fast, particularly by the plughole, so early repairs matter.
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 body of the bath lasts a very long time, so it’s always worth repairing.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
What happens on the day
We turn up at the time we agreed with you and checks the damage against your photos first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. Most visits take a morning or an afternoon, and we leave the room as we found it.
- We clean the area and remove any loose enamel or rust.
- The chip or crack is filled, then sanded level with the bath.
- The colour is mixed on the spot to match your bath.
- Finish coats go on, then the repair is polished to blend in.
- Once it has cured, usually by the following day, the bath is ready to use.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know about parking or access
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Related advice
Keeping it looking good
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
- Check that an acrylic bath doesn’t move when you stand in it
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
A repaired bath needs no special treatment. Skip bleach and gritty creams.
Rust under enamel spreads surprisingly quickly. A chip the size of a fingernail can become a much larger patch if it’s left for months, so it pays to deal with it early.
Should you replace it?
Many people think a damaged bath means a new one. In most cases it doesn’t: a repair keeps the bath in service for years, and costs far less than the disruption of a replacement. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Common questions in Yate
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Can you price it without visiting?
In nearly every case. If photos don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
What happens next?
We come back with a fixed quote. There’s no obligation to book.
Is there a guarantee?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Can landlords book you?
Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Is there a call-out fee?
We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
Is there any odour?
There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.
