Bath repair for Sausthorpe homes

Bath repair in Sausthorpe without replacing anything

Bath repair is our most common job. Chips on the rim, rust around the waste and cracks in acrylic are all repaired in place, normally in one visit. Our technicians work on acrylic, pressed steel enamel and roll-top & freestanding, and people most often call us about an old repair that has yellowed or come loose and chips along the edge of the bath.

Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

What we are called out for in Sausthorpe

A bath gets knocked about more than you’d think: bottles, shower heads and razors are dropped every day, and fittings press hard against the enamel. Sooner or later, most baths pick up a chip.

Send us a photo if you notice any of these:

  • Chips under the taps
  • Cracks in an acrylic bath
  • A failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting
  • Snagging damage from a refit

Before you book anyone

  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • What prep work is covered
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • What protection goes down before work starts

Our hiring checklist

Work for landlords and builders

If you manage property in Sausthorpe, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. 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. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How much damage there is
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • How many items we do on one visit

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking, with nothing added on the day.

Send photos for a quote

Two or three clear pictures are generally enough. Try to include:

  • Any details about the material
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

For a price in Sausthorpe, pictures are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

Common questions in Sausthorpe

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.

What do you need from me?

Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we will do the rest.

What does bath repair cost?

Prices start from £95. Every job gets a fixed price from your photos. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your PE23 postcode.

I tried a repair kit. Can you fix it?

Yes. We remove the old filler and start again. Tell us about it when you send photos.

When can I have a bath again?

Normally within a day, though it depends on what we’ve done.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

Can you fix rust around the plughole?

Yes. We take out the rust and any loose enamel, fill the area, then colour-match the finish.

How quickly can you book me in?

Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.

Honest limits

Not everything can be repaired, and we’ll tell you before we start. Repairs will not solve:

  • A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
  • Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we can’t get to from below
  • A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.

Materials we work on in Sausthorpe

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

Should I try a DIY kit first?

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.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

Should you replace it?

Cast iron baths in particular are worth repairing: they’re very heavy to remove, especially upstairs, and replacing like for like is not cheap. A repair keeps it in place. Our bath repair starts from £95. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Why book with us

  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • Fixed prices from your photos
  • Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • One visit for most repairs

See our prices page or resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.

How the visit works

Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so you know exactly what we are doing. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. It normally takes a few hours.

  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. The colour is mixed on the spot to match your bath.
  4. Finish coats go on, then the repair is polished to blend in.
  5. We leave it to cure; you can usually use the bath the following day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Ask for a price

Most customers in Sausthorpe get their price from photos. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

How to look after the repair

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Store metal items away from the bath
  • Put a towel in the bath if you are working above it
  • If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
  • Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners

In the first few days, avoid putting weight or bottles on the repair. After that, clean it as you would the rest of the bath.

Small chips are quick to repair. Left alone, they stain and can rust, so early repair saves time and money.
