How we handle bath repair in East Stoke

Whatever the damage, the aim is the same: 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. If you are dealing with rust spots around the plughole and an old repair that has yellowed or come loose, we can typically put it right.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee.

Keeping it looking good

Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:

  • Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
  • Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
  • Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
  • Make sure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot

There’s nothing special to do after a repair. Avoid bleach-based and gritty cleaners.

Small chips are quick to repair. Left alone, they stain and can rust, so early repair saves time and money.

Can I fix it myself?

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.

FAQs for East Stoke

Do you charge for travel?

Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Do you repair coloured baths?

Yes, we match coloured baths too. The colour is tinted by hand on the day.

Will the price change on the day?

The price is fixed for what the photos show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

Is a cracked acrylic bath repairable?

Typically, yes, if we can reach the underside to reinforce it. Check under the bath panel, or send us a photo.

Can landlords book you?

We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Can you repair a failed DIY repair?

Regularly. The old material comes out, any rust is treated, then we repair it properly.

How long does the repair take to cure?

Normally by the following day, depending on the repair.

How do I book?

Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.

Repairing versus replacing in East Stoke

Cast iron baths especially are worth keeping: they’re very heavy to remove, especially upstairs, and a like-for-like replacement can be expensive. Repairing it leaves it where it is. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

What you get with us

  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • Usually one visit, start to finish

See our full price list or resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.

What your bath is made of matters

Acrylic

Acrylic baths are moulded sheet reinforced underneath. There is no rust, but cracks, holes and scratches happen, and cracks need support from behind to stay fixed.

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.

Signs you need bath repair in East Stoke

A bath gets knocked about more than you’d think: everyday items get dropped into it all the time, and fittings press hard against the enamel. Over time, chips and rust spots are almost inevitable.

You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:

  • A failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting
  • Deep scratches in acrylic
  • Impact holes in acrylic
  • Chips on the rim or sides

  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • What prep work is covered

Choosing a repair company

What we do, step by step

On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll get on with it. Most visits take a few hours, depending on the damage, including clearing up.

  1. First, we check the damage against your pictures and agree the plan.
  2. Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
  3. We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
  4. We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
  5. Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Clear the area around the damage

Getting a price

You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

Prices and what affects them

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

  • The type of damage
  • Access to the area
  • The material and finish
  • Whether we combine several jobs

The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.

How to get a fixed price

Before you send pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • A wider photo showing the whole bath
  • The material, if you know it
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.
