Bath repair for Yondercott homes

How we price bath repair

Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • How many areas need work
  • The type of damage
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Getting a price from photos

Before you send pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A photo taken from further back

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

Bath repair in Yondercott, done in place

We repair just the damaged spot and colour-match it to the bath, which costs far less than replacing a fitted bath and the tiles around it. You can typically use the bath the following day. We are often asked to fix chips caused by builders and chips under the taps, across acrylic, cast iron enamel and whirlpool & spa baths.

You are covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before you book.

FAQs for Yondercott

Is there a call-out fee?

There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.

Do you cover Yondercott?

Yes, we do. We send a technician to Yondercott for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

I tried a repair kit. Can you fix it?

Yes, we do this often. We strip it out, deal with any rust and repair it again.

When can you do it?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Is a holed acrylic bath repairable?

Frequently, if there’s access underneath. The hole is backed, filled and refinished to match.

Is there any odour?

A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.

Is a bath repair permanent?

It should, as long as the bath is firm and the area was prepared well. It’s covered by our one-year guarantee.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.

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. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

When a repair is not the answer

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • A steel bath rusted through
  • A whole bath that’s dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
  • Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

Surfaces we repair

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

Aftercare tips

How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
  • Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
  • Check that an acrylic bath doesn’t move when you stand in it
  • Get a dripping tap fixed promptly

Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy items on the repaired area. Deal with new chips early, before rust sets in.

Tape over a fresh chip or crack until it’s repaired, so water cannot get in. Remove it before the repair.

How it works

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and clear up. Allow two to three hours for most chips. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and how to look after it.

  1. First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
  2. The chip or crack is filled, then sanded level with the bath.
  3. The colour is mixed on the spot to match your bath.
  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 next day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

Ask for a price

Send us a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your EX15 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

Related advice

Repair or replace: which is better?

People often assume a cracked or chipped bath has to come out. Typically 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. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Why Yondercott clients choose us

  • No extra charge for your area
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • Everything repaired in place
  • Colour mixed on the day to match

What your bath is made of matters

Composite and resin

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

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

Common problems we fix in Yondercott

Rust usually starts where water sits, around the waste, under the taps or in an old chip. Water on bare metal causes rust that creeps under the surrounding enamel.

Most people contact us when they notice something like this:

  • Chips along the edge of the bath
  • A chip where the taps sit
  • Rust by the waste and overflow
  • Scuffs and scratches in the surface

Questions to ask before you book

  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • What preparation is included
  • Whether the price covers travel
  • How the colour is matched
