Should you replace it?

When the bath is otherwise sound, repairing beats replacing. It costs less, takes less time and causes far less upheaval, and the bathroom stays as it is. If the entire surface is worn, re-enamelling may make more sense, and we’ll tell you. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

How the visit works

You do not need to empty the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and start once you’re happy with the plan. It generally takes two to three hours for most chips, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
  2. We clean, key and degrease the damage, and any rust is treated.
  3. We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
  4. We match both the colour and the shine.
  5. We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, normally the next day.

How to prepare

  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

Getting a price

There is no need for us to visit first. 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.

Advice

What we cannot put right

Not everything can be repaired, and we’ll tell you before we start. We cannot fix:

  • Cracks in acrylic we can’t reach from underneath
  • Metal that has corroded all the way through
  • Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.

What we work on

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

What bath repair costs

Prices start from £95. There is no charge for travel to Great Staughton. The price comes down to:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The size and number of damaged areas

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

How to get a fixed price

Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • One picture of the whole bath
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

Email us a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you’re in Great Staughton, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

Great Staughton questions

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

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

Yes, we do. Technicians travel to Great Staughton from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.

Is my repair covered?

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

Do you repair coloured baths?

Yes, coloured baths are no problem. We tint the finish to your bath on site.

Can tenants book a repair?

We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

What areas do you cover?

Can rust on a bath be repaired?

Yes, very frequently. The rust is cut back to clean metal and sealed before we fill and finish it.

Different materials, different repairs

Pressed steel

Steel baths are lighter than cast iron, but have a similar enamel surface. Chips rust quickly on steel, especially around the waste, so early repairs matter.

Composite and resin

Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour-matched, in much the same way.

Do you need bath repair in Great Staughton?

Rust generally 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.

The things customers normally mention when they call are:

  • Chips caused by builders
  • Chips along the edge of the bath
  • Holes from dropped items
  • A chip where the taps sit

What to look for in a quote

  • How to care for the finish
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • If travel is included in the price

Our hiring checklist

Aftercare tips

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Rinse it down after each bath
  • A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
  • Store metal items away from the bath
  • Do not scrub with anything abrasive

Leave the repair to cure for as long as we say before using the bath. After that, gentle cleaning keeps it looking good.

Rust spreads under enamel faster than most people expect. A chip the size of a fingernail can become a much larger patch if it’s left for months, so early repair keeps the cost down.
