Work for landlords and builders

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

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

Bath repair in Over Stratton, done in place

Most bath damage, from chips and cracks to rust spots and holes, is repaired in place. Nothing is unplumbed, your tiles stay as they are, and the repaired area is colour matched so it blends in. We work on acrylic, cast iron enamel and whirlpool & spa baths, and common reasons people get in touch are rusty patches near the plughole and hairline or through cracks in acrylic.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard.

What affects the price in Over Stratton

Repairs from £95. You will know the full cost before booking. We look at:

  • The material
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Access to the area

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking, with no extras added later.

Send photos for a quote

We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what to send:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A wider photo showing the whole bath
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.

What happens on the day

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we’ve agreed what we are doing. Most jobs take a few hours, depending on the damage, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  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. 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. Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.

Before we arrive

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Why repair rather than replace?

A new bath costs more than the bath itself: removal and disposal, plumbing, a new panel, tiling and decorating. A repair is one job, done in one visit. Prices start from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Why book with us

  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • Fixed prices from your photos
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited

Read our pricing and resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.

When a repair isn’t the answer

A repair isn’t always the answer, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:

  • Cracks in acrylic we can’t reach from underneath
  • A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
  • 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 before you book.

What we work on

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

Keeping it looking good

Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:

  • Rinse it down after each bath
  • Do not scrub with anything abrasive
  • Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
  • If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted

Use gentle, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy items on the repaired area. Deal with new chips early, before rust can start.

Rust under enamel spreads surprisingly quickly. Left for months, a small chip can grow into a large rust patch, so it pays to deal with it early.

Do you need bath repair in Over Stratton?

Acrylic baths that crack nearly always have a support problem. Legs that aren’t adjusted, a missing cradle or a soft floor let the bath move until the acrylic gives way.

Customers normally contact us about:

  • A hole punched through by something heavy
  • Chips on the rim or sides
  • Rust by the waste and overflow
  • Cracks in an acrylic bath

  • Whether the price covers travel
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long

Our hiring checklist

Your questions about bath repair in Over Stratton

Can I get a quote without a visit?

In nearly every case. If photos don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

Will you leave a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.

Are you a vetted contractor?

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

How do I book?

Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.

Do I have to be there?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Can a cracked acrylic bath be fixed?

Frequently, yes, if we can reach the underside to reinforce it. Take off the bath panel and check, or send us a photo.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.

Can rust on a bath be repaired?

Yes, it’s one of the most common repairs we do. We take it back to sound metal, seal it, fill it and match the colour.
