Bath repair in Little Staughton without replacing anything

Most of our bath repairs take a few hours, and the bath is back in use the day after. You will not need a plumber or tiler, because nothing is disconnected. Whether it’s hairline or through cracks in acrylic and a chipped rim or side, we can typically put it right, whatever the material.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are covered after the visit.

How we price bath repair

Repairs from £95. We price every job individually, from your photos. The main factors are:

  • How many areas need work
  • The colour and finish to match
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • What kind of damage it is

Set against the cost of replacement, repairing generally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

How to get a fixed price

When you take your photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • The material, if you know it
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

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

What we cannot put right

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we can’t get to from below
  • Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
  • A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Materials we work on in Little Staughton

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

Aftercare tips

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:

  • If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
  • Put a towel in the bath if you are working above it
  • Don’t scrub with anything abrasive
  • Don’t leave a fresh chip for long

A repaired bath needs no special treatment. Skip bleach and gritty creams and rinse after use.

Rust under enamel spreads surprisingly quickly. 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.

What your bath is made of matters

Acrylic

An acrylic bath is a moulded sheet strengthened from below. They do not rust, but they can crack, scratch or be holed, and a crack only stays repaired if it’s supported underneath.

Pressed steel

Steel baths are lighter than cast iron, but have a similar enamel surface. Chips rust quickly on steel, particularly by the plughole, so repair chips early.

Little Staughton questions

Can you quote from pictures?

Yes, almost always. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.

Are you accredited?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

Can a cracked acrylic bath be fixed?

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

Is it safe with children and pets around?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.

Do you come to Little Staughton?

Yes. We cover the whole UK and come to Little Staughton. Send pictures and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • Chips on the rim or sides
  • Rust by the waste and overflow
  • Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
  • Impact holes in acrylic

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.

How it works

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, do the job and clear up. Plan for a few hours. Before we go, we’ll explain when it can be used and how to care for it.

  1. Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
  2. The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased, 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, generally the following day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Let us know about parking or access

Getting a price

You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.
