Bath repair for Purton Stoke homes

How we handle bath repair in Purton Stoke

Small damage on a bath is worth repairing early. Exposed metal on enamelled baths soon rusts, while cracks in acrylic grow each time the bath moves. Repairing it stops the damage getting worse. We are often asked to fix snagging damage from a refit and a kit repair that didn’t last, on cast iron enamel, roll-top & freestanding and acrylic.

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee.

How it works

We begin by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we are doing. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and we start. You can expect it to take a morning or an afternoon, and we’ll keep you posted as we go.

  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. The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.

Preparing for the visit

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Open a window if you can
  • Clear the area around the damage

Getting a price

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire bath, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

For landlords and businesses

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

When we’d advise against a repair

Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, including:

  • Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
  • Wear across the whole surface, which needs re-enamelling
  • Cracks in acrylic we cannot reach from underneath

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

Surfaces we repair

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

  • Rusty patches near the plughole

Questions to ask before booking

10 questions to ask before booking

Questions from Purton Stoke

How long does the repair take to cure?

Most baths can be used the following day. We confirm the time before we leave.

What information do you need?

Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787.

Can you repair a chip on a coloured bath?

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

What about rust by the waste?

Yes, it’s one of the most common repairs we do. The rust is cut back to clean metal and sealed before we fill and finish it.

What happens next?

We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.

Can you price it without visiting?

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

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.

Will you leave a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.

Keeping it looking good

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

  • Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
  • Don’t scrub with anything abrasive
  • A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
  • Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas

Care for the repair the same way as the bath: warm water, washing-up liquid and a soft cloth. Keep scouring pads and gritty cleaners away from it.

Stop using the bath if a crack lets water through. Water under the bath can damage the floor and the ceiling below.

Repair or replace: which is better?

When the bath is otherwise sound, repairing beats replacing. It’s quicker, cheaper and far less disruptive, and you keep the bath you chose. Where the entire surface is tired, we may suggest re-enamelling instead. Prices start from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Purton Stoke. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Why us?

  • We leave the room as we found it
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • Work done at your home or business

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The material
  • The type of damage
  • Access to the area

The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book, with no extras added later.

How to get a fixed price

Before you send photos, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Any details about the material

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Composite and resin

Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid, and often freestanding. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, in much the same way.

Pressed steel

Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
