Our bath repair service in SN99

Bath repair is our most common job. A chip by the taps, a crack in the base and a rust spot by the plughole are all fixed without removing the bath, generally in a single visit. Common call-outs are for deep scratches in acrylic and snagging damage from a refit, on pressed steel enamel, acrylic and roll-top & freestanding.

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and tidy away. Plan for a morning or an afternoon from start to finish. Before we go, we will explain how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.

First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
We fill the damage and sand it flush with the surrounding surface.
We mix the colour on the day to match your bath’s exact shade.
We build up the finish and polish it into the surrounding enamel.
The repair is left to cure, and most baths can be used the next day.

What it costs in SN99

Our bath repair starts from £95. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

What’s near Dorcan

Typical jobs here are in homes near Covingham Park Primary School, St Pauls Church Centre and Queens Park and the streets around them. Nearby too are The Stripey Badger pub (0.5 miles south-west) and The Dorcan Academy (less than half a mile north-west). The closest station to Dorcan is Swindon station, roughly 2.4 miles west. Other landmarks nearby include Great Western Hospital (1.3 miles south-west) and Rodbourne Cheney (2.7 miles west). Open spaces near Dorcan include Charlbury Hill.

For landlords and businesses

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Why repair rather than replace?

Cast iron baths especially are worth keeping: they’re very heavy to remove, especially upstairs, and replacing like for like isn’t cheap. A repair keeps it in place.

Questions to ask before booking

Whether the colour is mixed to match
Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
How changes to the job are handled
How soon you can use it again

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your pictures. The main factors are:

Access to the area
Doing more than one item at once
Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
Unusual colours or finishes

Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Quotes from your pictures

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:

Any earlier repairs or coatings
The material, if you know it
Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
Your postcode, so we can check dates

If you are in SN99 and want a price, photos are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Acrylic

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

Cast iron

Cast iron is heavy and rigid, finished with fired enamel. A chip down to the iron can rust, but the body of the bath lasts a very long time, which makes it well worth repairing.

How to look after the repair

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:

Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
Store metal items away from the bath
Do not leave a fresh chip for long
A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early

Keep metal objects like razors and cans off the surface, because they can mark the enamel. A dripping tap should be fixed early, too.

Rust under enamel spreads surprisingly quickly. Left for months, a small chip can grow into a large rust patch, so early repair keeps the cost down.
