Our bath repair service in BS26

Whatever has happened to the bath, we aim for the same result: a repair that is smooth, sound and hard to spot. Proper preparation, careful filling and shaping, then colour and gloss matching so it’s level with the surrounding surface. Common call-outs are for snagging damage from a refit and chips on the rim or sides, in roll-top & freestanding, pressed steel enamel and acrylic.

Once we’re through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes a morning or an afternoon, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. First, we check the damage against your photos and agree the plan.
  2. Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
  3. The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
  4. The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
  5. Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.

Common problems we fix in BS26

Baths take more knocks than people expect: bottles, shower heads and razors are dropped every day, and taps and wastes are tightened against the surface. Sooner or later, most baths pick up a chip.

Common reasons people in BS26 contact us include:

  • A kit repair that didn’t last
  • A chip where the taps sit
  • Cracks in an acrylic bath
  • A chipped rim or side

How we price bath repair

Prices start from £95. You will know the full cost before you book. We take into account:

  • What the surface is made of
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Access to the area
  • Unusual colours or finishes

There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Getting a price from photos

We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what to send:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Details of any past repairs
  • A picture taken from further back

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos through our quote form or call us. We will say straight away whether it can be repaired.

Repairs by material

Composite and resin

Composite baths are dense and solid, and often freestanding. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour-matched, just like other baths.

Acrylic

Acrylic baths are moulded sheet reinforced underneath. They don’t rust, but they can crack, scratch or be holed, and a crack only stays repaired if it’s supported underneath.

Looking after it afterwards

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:

  • Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
  • Have new chips seen to early
  • Don’t leave razors or cans standing in the bath
  • Clean with warm water and a mild detergent

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

If an acrylic bath has a crack, stop showering in it until it’s repaired. Every use opens the crack a little more, and water can get through to the floor below.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

FAQs for BS26

Can you quote from pictures?

In nearly every case. If pictures do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.

Can you fix rust around the plughole?

Yes, it’s one of the most common repairs we do. The rust is cut back to clean metal and sealed before we fill and finish it.

How quickly can you book me in?

Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

When can I have a bath again?

Most baths can be used the next day. We will tell you the exact curing time when we finish.

Will the price change on the day?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

Is there a guarantee?

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