Bath repair for Little Stanmore homes

Common problems we fix in Little Stanmore

The usual cause is something heavy dropped into the bath, and building work is a common culprit. Cracks in acrylic have a different cause: the bath is not properly supported, so it flexes under weight.

These are the problems we are asked about most:

  • Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
  • Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
  • Rust by the waste and overflow
  • Impact holes in acrylic

Before booking anyone

  • If travel is included in the price
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • What kind of damage it is
  • The material and finish

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.

Quotes from your pictures

Phone photos are fine. Ensure they show:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • One picture of the whole bath

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

Little Stanmore questions

Is there a call-out fee?

No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Is a cracked acrylic bath repairable?

Most of the time. We reinforce the crack from behind, then fill and refinish the front, so we need access under the bath.

Can you match an avocado or pink bath?

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

Are you a vetted contractor?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

Do the materials smell?

A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.

Is the work guaranteed?

All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.

Something went through my bath. Can it be fixed?

Typically. Photos of the hole and the underside help us check.

Landlord and trade work in Little Stanmore

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we will handle the rest.

Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

What we can’t put right

It helps to know what we can’t do:

  • Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
  • A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
  • Cracks in acrylic we cannot reach from underneath

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

What we work on

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

How to look after the repair

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

  • Don’t scrub with anything abrasive
  • Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
  • Check that an acrylic bath does not move when you stand in it
  • Store metal items away from the bath

Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and try not to drop heavy bottles on the repair. Deal with new chips early, before rust can start.

Tape over a fresh chip or crack until it’s repaired, so water can’t get in. Take it off before we arrive.

How it works

You don’t need to empty the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we’ve agreed what we’re doing. Most jobs take a few hours, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.

  1. We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
  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. The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.

Preparing for the visit

  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Let us know about parking or access

DIY kit or professional repair?

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 risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

Repairs by material

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are thick and very strong, finished with fired enamel. A chip down to the iron can rust, but the body of the bath lasts a very long time, so it’s always worth repairing.

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
