Aftercare tips

It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:

  • Give the bath a quick rinse after use
  • Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
  • Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
  • Have new chips seen to early

In the first few days, avoid putting weight or bottles on the repair. After that, normal gentle cleaning is fine without abrasive products.

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.

Bath repair in Great Stonar, done in place

We repair just the damaged spot and colour-match it to the bath, which is far cheaper than replacing a fitted bath and the tiles around it. Most baths can be used again the day after. We work on acrylic, cast iron enamel and pressed steel enamel, and common reasons people contact us are holes from dropped items and a failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are not left on your own once we have gone.

What a repair cannot fix

We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair won’t do:

  • A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
  • A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
  • Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

Surfaces we repair

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

Landlords, agents and businesses in Great Stonar

If you manage property in Great Stonar, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send pictures for each one and we will come back with a combined price.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Great Stonar use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

When to call us in Great Stonar

Nearly all the chips we see start with something being dropped: a shampoo bottle, a shower head, a tile or a tool during a refit. On steel and cast iron baths, a chip that reaches the metal lets water in, and rust follows.

If you can see any of these, send us a photo:

  • Scuffs and scratches in the surface
  • Holes from dropped items
  • A chip where the taps sit
  • Chips on the rim or sides

What to look for in a quote

  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • What happens if they find more damage
  • How your room will be protected
  • Aftercare advice

Our hiring checklist

Repair or replace: which is better?

A repair makes sense whenever the damage is localised. It’s a fraction of the cost of a new bath and fitting, it takes one visit, and the bathroom stays exactly as it is. Our bath repair starts from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing typically costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Why us?

  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • One visit for most repairs
  • Work done at your home or business
  • Fixed prices from your photos

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.

Pressed steel

Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.

What we do, step by step

Once we’re through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes a few hours, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
  2. We fill the damage and sand it flush with the surrounding surface.
  3. We tint the finish on the day to suit your bath’s shade of white or colour.
  4. We build up the finish and polish it into the surrounding enamel.
  5. The repair is left to cure, and most baths can be used the next day.

Before we arrive

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

What affects the price in Great Stonar

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

  • The material and finish
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Send photos for a quote

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A picture taken from further back
  • The material, if you know it

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. There’s no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.
