Bath repair for Rugeley homes

Aftercare tips

Looking after the surface is easy:

  • Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
  • Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
  • Do not leave razors or cans standing in the bath
  • Do not scrub with anything abrasive

Treat the repaired area like the rest of the bath: a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs. Avoid scourers and gritty cream cleaners.

A small chip is a quick job. Leave them and they collect dirt, stain and, on metal baths, rust, so early repair saves time and money.

Your questions about bath repair in Rugeley

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.

Will the price change on the day?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.

Are there extra charges for Rugeley?

There is no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.

Is my repair covered?

All our work carries our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

What does bath repair cost?

Prices start from £95. We give a fixed quote based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up and a photo of the whole item with your WS15 postcode.

What happens after I send photos?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote.

Can landlords book you?

Do you need bath repair in Rugeley?

Rust generally starts where water sits, around the waste, under the taps or in an old chip. Once water reaches the steel or iron, rust spreads under the enamel.

The things customers usually mention when they call include:

  • Scuffs and scratches in the surface
  • A failed DIY repair that is discoloured or lifting
  • Rusty patches near the plughole
  • Chips under the taps

What your quote should include

  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • What preparation is included
  • What happens if they find more damage

How to compare quotes

What affects the price in Rugeley

Repairs from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:

  • The material and finish
  • Access to the area
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Doing more than one item at once

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Quotes from your photos

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Any details about the material
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • A wider photo showing the entire bath

Email us a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your WS15 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

Different materials, different repairs

Composite and resin

Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid, and frequently freestanding. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, just like other baths.

Pressed steel

Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.

Work for landlords and builders

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we will handle the rest.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

How the visit works

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you’re not left guessing. Once we’re there, the work takes two to three hours for most chips. We leave the room clean.

  1. First, we check the damage against your pictures and agree the plan.
  2. Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
  3. The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
  4. We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
  5. Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.

Preparing for the visit

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

Getting a price

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

Advice

Should I try a DIY kit first?

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 is not prepared the repair will not last.

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

Should you replace it?

Replacing a bath rarely stops at the bath: the tiles sitting on the rim tend to break, the panel may not fit the new one, and a plumber has to disconnect and reconnect everything. A repair skips all of it. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Rugeley. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
