Bath repair near Old Stratford

Bath repair in Old Stratford, done in place

A damaged bath does not have to mean a new bathroom. Our technicians fill, shape and refinish the damage, mixing the colour on the day. Our repair technicians work on roll-top & freestanding, pressed steel enamel and whirlpool & spa baths, and the jobs we see most are rust by the waste and overflow and snagging damage from a refit.

You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Old Stratford as everywhere else we work.

Old Stratford: your questions answered

Can you redo an old repair?

Regularly. We strip it out, deal with any rust and repair it again.

How do I get a price for bath repair in Old Stratford?

Prices start from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

How long before I can use the bath?

Typically within a day, depending on the repair.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Will the repair show?

We aim for a repair you cannot easily find. The rest of the bath’s condition makes a difference, and we will tell you what to expect.

Will it make a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.

How soon can you come?

Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Are you accredited?

We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Old Stratford. The price reflects:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • The size and number of damaged areas

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 combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Getting a price from pictures

We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what we need:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire bath, add your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Old Stratford

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access.

For anyone letting property in or around Old Stratford, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send photos for each one and we will price them together.

Should you replace it?

A new bath costs more than the bath itself: removal and disposal, plumbing, a new panel, tiling and decorating. With a repair, it’s one visit and one price. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

What you get with us

  • We leave the room as we found it
  • Everything repaired in place
  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • One-year guarantee on every repair

The process

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and clear up. Allow a few hours. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and how to care for it.

  1. We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
  2. Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
  3. We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to 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.

Before we arrive

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Open a window if you can
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

Send us photos of the damage and one of the whole item, with your MK19 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

Advice

Signs you need bath repair in Old Stratford

Nearly all the chips we see start with something being dropped: bottles, shower heads, tiles and tools. On steel and cast iron baths, a chip that reaches the metal lets water in, and rust follows.

The things customers normally mention when they call are:

  • Holes from dropped items
  • Scuffs and scratches in the surface
  • Rust by the waste and overflow
  • Hairline or through cracks in acrylic

What to look for in a quote

  • What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • When it can be used again
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT

How to compare quotes

Aftercare tips

To keep it looking its best:

  • Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
  • Give the bath a quick rinse after use
  • Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
  • Keep metal cans and razors off the surface

Give the repair the full curing time we recommend before using the bath. From then on, mild cleaning is all it needs.

Small chips are quick to repair. Left alone, they stain and can rust, so it’s worth getting them done early.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Cast iron

Cast iron is heavy and rigid, finished with fired enamel. Chips can rust if left, but the body of the bath lasts a very long time, so it’s always worth repairing.

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
