  • One picture of the whole bath
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Natural light rather than flash

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.

Bath repair in Sandonbank, done in place

It pays to repair bath damage while it’s small. Exposed metal on enamelled baths soon rusts, and on acrylic, a crack keeps spreading while the bath flexes. Repairing it stops the damage getting worse. Whether it’s scratches you can feel with a fingernail and a chip where the taps sit, we can generally put it right, on whirlpool & spa baths, acrylic and roll-top & freestanding alike.

You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there’s a problem and we’ll sort it.

Repairs by material

Composite and resin

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

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

Questions from Sandonbank

When can I have a bath again?

Normally by the following day, though it depends on what we’ve done.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Normally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

I tried a repair kit. Can you fix it?

Yes. We take out the old repair and do it properly. Mention it when you send pictures.

Is there a call-out fee?

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

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

What do you need from me?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders.

What does bath repair cost?

Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You’ll get a fixed figure before booking.

What we do, step by step

Once we’re through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes a few hours, depending on the damage, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
  2. The chip or crack is filled, then sanded level with the bath.
  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 next day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

Getting a price

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole bath, we can price the job the same day in most cases.

How to care for the repair

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
  • A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
  • Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
  • Have new chips seen to early

Keep metal objects like razors and cans off the surface, because they can mark the enamel. A dripping tap should be fixed early, too.

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.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Cast iron baths especially are worth keeping: getting one out, particularly from an upstairs bathroom, is a big job, and replacing like for like isn’t cheap. Repairing it leaves it where it is. Prices start from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Sandonbank. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

What we can’t put right

A repair isn’t right for every job, including:

  • Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
  • A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
  • A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense

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

Should I try a DIY kit first?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

For landlords and businesses

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 matters when someone is living in the home.
