What affects the price in Sandridge
Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. What matters most is:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The material and finish
- How many items we do on one visit
A repair usually costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Sandridge questions
What areas do you cover?
Everywhere in the UK, Sandridge included. Travel is included in the price.
How invisible is a bath repair?
We aim for a repair you cannot easily find. How well it disappears depends on the condition of the rest of the bath.
Is a bath repair permanent?
It should, as long as the bath is firm and the area was prepared well. It’s covered by our one-year guarantee.
How do I get a price for bath repair in Sandridge?
Repairs from £95. We give a fixed quote based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your AL4 postcode.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.
Something went through my bath. Can it be fixed?
Typically, yes, if we can reach behind it. We back the hole, fill it and refinish the surface.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Different materials, different repairs
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.
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour-matched, in much the same way.
Signs you need bath repair in Sandridge
Most bath damage comes from something dropped: bottles, shower heads, tiles and tools. On steel and cast iron baths, any chip down to the metal will start to rust.
The most common problems we’re called about are:
- Rust by the waste and overflow
- Deep scratches in acrylic
- Chips on the rim or sides
- A hole punched through by something heavy
What to look for in a quote
- How your room will be protected
- What aftercare is recommended
- Whether the price covers travel
- What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
Aftercare tips
Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Make sure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
- Rinse it down after each bath
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
There is nothing special to do after a repair, beyond gentle cleaning. Avoid bleach-based and gritty cleaners.
Avoid standing in a cracked acrylic bath until it’s fixed. Every use opens the crack a little more, and it can start to leak underneath.
Work for landlords and builders
For anyone letting property in or around Sandridge, we will quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we will come back with a combined price.
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
How the visit works
The work is clean and fairly quiet. We protect the area first, then the work takes a morning or an afternoon. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to care for it.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- We clean, key and degrease the damage.
- We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
- We match both the colour and the shine.
- We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, normally the following day.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Open a window if you can
- Make sure the area is dry
How to get a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
Advice
Can I fix it myself?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
