What your bath is made of matters
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
Acrylic
Acrylic baths are moulded sheet reinforced underneath. They don’t rust, but they can crack, scratch or be holed, and cracks need support from behind to stay fixed.
Your questions about bath repair in Sandbank
What happens after I send pictures?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Will there be a smell?
It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Can rust on a bath be repaired?
Yes. We take out the rust and any loose enamel, seal and fill the area, then colour-match the finish.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.
Do you charge for travel?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
How much does bath repair cost in Sandbank?
Repairs from £95. Every job gets a fixed price based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up and a photo of the whole item with your PA23 postcode.
Work for landlords and builders
For anyone letting property in or around Sandbank, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send pictures for each one and we’ll price them together.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
What a repair can’t fix
Some jobs are not right for a repair, for example:
- 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)
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.

Keeping it looking good
It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:
- Do not leave razors or cans standing in the bath
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
- Rinse it down after each bath
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
A repaired bath needs no special treatment, beyond gentle cleaning. Skip bleach and gritty creams.
Small chips are quick to repair. Left alone, they stain and can rust, so it’s worth getting them done early.
What bath repair costs
Repairs from £95. There is no charge for travel to Sandbank. The price comes down to:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The material and finish
Compared with replacing, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
Getting a price from photos
Two or three clear photos are usually enough. Try to include:
- One picture of the entire bath
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.
