Our bath repair service in BA4

We see every kind of bath damage: dropped-bottle chips, plughole rust, acrylic cracks and impact holes. Each is repaired in place. We work on pressed steel enamel, acrylic and cast iron enamel, and people most frequently call us about chips caused by builders and chips along the edge of the bath.

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and clear up. Allow a morning or an afternoon. Before we go, we will explain how long to leave it and how to care for it.

Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
We clean, key and degrease the damage, and any rust is treated.
Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, usually the following day.

Cost

Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing usually costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

How we price bath repair

Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. These are the things that affect it:

Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
Unusual colours or finishes
What the surface is made of
The size and number of damaged areas

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

Send pictures for a quote

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Try to send:

What it’s made of, if you know
Something in shot to show the size
Any earlier repairs or coatings
Where you are, by postcode

For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Work for landlords and builders

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, pictures and access details and we will handle the rest.

For anyone letting property in or around BA4, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Send pictures for each one and we’ll price them together.

Should you replace it?

For damage in one or two places, a repair is the obvious choice. It costs far less than a new bath plus fitting, it’s done in one visit, and nothing else in the room changes.

Questions to ask before booking

Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
What protection goes down before work starts
Whether they match the colour on site
Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price

When we would advise against a repair

We will not take on work that will not last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:

Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we cannot get to from below
Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
Wear across the whole surface, which needs re-enamelling

Aftercare tips

So the finish stays in good condition for years:

Don’t leave razors or cans standing in the bath
If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
Get any new chip repaired before it rusts

Keep metal objects like razors and cans off the surface, because they can mark the enamel. And fix dripping taps promptly.

Do not leave a chip on a steel or cast iron bath. Water gets to the metal and rust starts, and a rust spot is a bigger repair than a clean chip.

Questions from BA4

When can I have a bath again?

Normally by the following day, though it depends on what we’ve done.

What about rust by the waste?

Yes. We take out the rust and any loose enamel, fill the area, then colour-match the finish.

Do you charge for travel?

We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.

Is a holed acrylic bath repairable?

Normally, yes, if we can reach behind it. The hole is backed, filled and refinished to match.

Is a cracked acrylic bath repairable?

Often, yes, as long as we can get to the back of the crack to support it. Take off the bath panel and check, or send us a picture.

Do you hold any accreditations?

We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

Will you leave a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
