About our bath repair in Sewardstonebury

Most bath damage, from chips and cracks to rust spots and holes, can be repaired with the bath left exactly where it is. There’s no plumbing to disconnect, the tiles aren’t touched, and the finish is matched to the rest of the bath. Common call-outs are for scratches you can feel with a fingernail and chips under the taps, in roll-top & freestanding, acrylic and pressed steel enamel.

Every repair is covered by our one-year guarantee.

How to care for the repair

Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:

  • Store metal items away from the bath
  • Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
  • Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
  • Put a towel in the bath if you are working above it

Leave the repair to cure for as long as we say before using the bath. From then on, mild cleaning is all it needs.

If an acrylic bath has a crack, stop showering in it until it’s repaired. Every use opens the crack a little more, and water can get through to the floor below.

How it works

We turn up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. The work itself takes a few hours, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
  2. Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
  3. The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
  4. The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
  5. The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.

Before we arrive

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Questions from Sewardstonebury

Can you repair a chip on a coloured bath?

Yes, we match coloured baths too. We tint the finish to your bath on site.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Nearly always. If pictures do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.

What about rust by the waste?

Yes, very often. The rust is cut back to clean metal and sealed before we fill and finish it.

Can you repair a hole in a bath?

In most cases. Send us a photo of the hole and one from under the bath if you can.

Will it make a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.

Do you cover Sewardstonebury?

Yes, we do. Technicians travel to Sewardstonebury from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Do I need to be at home?

We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.

Do you need bath repair in Sewardstonebury?

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. Over time, chips and rust spots are almost inevitable.

Look out for these signs:

  • Rusty patches near the plughole
  • Damage beneath the taps
  • Impact holes in acrylic
  • Cracks in an acrylic bath

What to look for in a quote

  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
  • Whether the price covers travel
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • What preparation is included

Choosing a repair company

Should you replace it?

Cast iron baths in particular are worth repairing: they’re very heavy to remove, especially upstairs, and a like-for-like replacement can be expensive. A repair keeps it in place. Our bath repair starts from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. 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.

What you get with us

  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • Fixed prices from your pictures

See our prices page or bath cost comparison.

Landlord and trade work in Sewardstonebury

Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

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

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • The material and finish
  • Access to the area
  • Whether we combine several jobs

Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Getting a price from photos

Phone photos are fine. Just make sure we can see:

  • The material, if you know it
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • One picture of the entire bath

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 will come back to you with a fixed figure.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

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.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

When a repair is not the answer

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
  • Metal that has corroded all the way through
  • Cracks in acrylic we can’t reach from underneath

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before you book.

Materials we repair

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