Bath repair in Red Street, done in place

We repair just the damaged spot and colour-match it to the bath, which is far cheaper than replacing a fitted bath. Most baths can be used again the following day. Typical jobs include deep scratches in acrylic and rust by the waste and overflow, across acrylic, roll-top & freestanding and pressed steel enamel.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right, ring us and we’ll come back.

When a repair is not the answer

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

  • A steel bath rusted through
  • Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we can’t get to from below
  • A whole bath that is dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.

What we work on

  • Cast iron enamel
  • Roll-top & freestanding

  • Pressed steel enamel

Landlord and trade work in Red Street

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

For anyone letting property in or around Red Street, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Just send photos for each address and we’ll price them together.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • What the surface is made of
  • How much damage there is
  • What kind of damage it is

The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Send photos for a quote

Phone pictures are fine. Just ensure we can see:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

Looking after it afterwards

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

  • Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
  • Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
  • Have new chips seen to early
  • Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby

In the first few days, avoid putting weight or bottles on the repair. After that, normal gentle cleaning is fine.

Small chips are quick to repair. Leave them and they collect dirt, stain and, on metal baths, rust, so early repair saves time and money.

What your bath is made of matters

Composite and resin

Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, in much the same way.

Cast iron

Cast iron is heavy and rigid, with a fused enamel surface. A chip down to the iron can rust, but the bath itself lasts for generations, which makes it well worth repairing.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Cast iron baths in particular are worth repairing: they’re very heavy to remove, especially upstairs, and replacing like for like is not cheap. A repair keeps it in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

How it works

The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can carry on at home. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes a morning or an afternoon. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. We clean the area and remove any loose enamel or rust.
  2. Next we fill the damage and sand it smooth and level.
  3. We mix the colour on the day to match your bath’s exact shade.
  4. Finish coats go on, then the repair is polished to blend in.
  5. The repair is left to cure, and most baths can be used the day after.

Before we arrive

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Getting a price

For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Advice

FAQs for Red Street

How do I book?

Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.

Do you hold any accreditations?

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

Can landlords book you?

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

Can you repair a crack in an acrylic bath?

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

Is there a call-out fee?

There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.

Do the materials smell?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It fades as everything cures.

Is it messy?

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

Will the repair show?

We aim for a repair you cannot easily find. The rest of the bath’s condition makes a difference.
