Bath repair in Sardis

Bath repair in Sardis, done in place

We repair enamelled steel, cast iron and acrylic baths. The method changes with the material: rust is treated on metal baths, while cracks in acrylic are reinforced from underneath. We’re frequently asked to fix hairline or through cracks in acrylic and a failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting, across whirlpool & spa baths, acrylic and pressed steel enamel.

Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Repairing versus replacing in Sardis

A repair makes sense whenever the damage is localised. It costs far less than a new bath plus fitting, it’s done in one visit, and the bathroom stays exactly as it is. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Sardis. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Can I fix it myself?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

When a repair isn’t the answer

We won’t take on work that won’t last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:

  • Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we cannot get to from below
  • Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
  • Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath

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

Materials we work on in Sardis

  • Cast iron enamel
  • Acrylic
  • Pressed steel enamel
  • Roll-top & freestanding
  • Whirlpool & spa baths

What your bath is made of matters

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are thick and very strong, with a fused enamel surface. A chip down to the iron can rust, but the body of the bath lasts a very long time, so it’s always worth repairing.

Composite and resin

Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour matched, just like other baths.

What affects the price in Sardis

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

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The type of damage
  • The material and finish

Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Send pictures for a quote

When you take your photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A picture taken from further back
  • The material, if you know it

To get a price, send a couple of pictures using our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

Landlord and trade work in Sardis

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Sardis use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Keeping it looking good

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:

  • Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
  • Store metal items away from the bath
  • Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
  • Put a towel in the bath if you are working above it

Give the repair the full curing time we recommend before using the bath. After that, gentle cleaning keeps it looking good.

A small chip is a quick job. Left alone, they stain and can rust, so it’s worth getting them done early.

Sardis questions

Can tenants book a repair?

We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just ensure the landlord agrees.

What does bath repair cost?

Prices start from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Do you repair coloured baths?

Yes. The colour is mixed on site to suit your bath, including older coloured suites.

What do you need from me?

Photos of the damage, a picture of the entire bath and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.

When can you do it?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.

Do I need to be at home?

We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.

Will the price change on the day?

Your quote covers the damage in the photos. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

What happens on the day

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and start once you’re happy with the plan. It usually takes a few hours, depending on the damage, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
  2. We clean, key and degrease the damage.
  3. Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
  4. We match both the colour and the shine.
  5. We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the following day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Ask for a price

There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
