What else we do in Smyrton
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are thick and very strong, finished with fired enamel. A chip down to the iron can rust, but the bath itself lasts for generations, so it’s always worth repairing.
Repair or replace in Smyrton?
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. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Smyrton. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

What we do, step by step
The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can stay at home while we are there. Protection goes down first, then the work takes a morning or an afternoon. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.
- 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, typically the day after.
Before we arrive
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Point us to the nearest place to park

Advice
Can I fix it myself?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
Landlord and trade work in Smyrton
If you manage property in Smyrton, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send pictures for each address and we’ll price them together.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, photos and access details.
What bath repair costs
Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. The main factors are:
- How many items we do on one visit
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The colour and finish to match
What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
Send photos for a quote
Two or three clear pictures are normally enough. It helps if you send:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- What it’s made of, if you know
Send us a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your KA26 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
When a repair is not the answer
In fairness, there are a few things a repair will not fix:
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before you book.
Surfaces we repair
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Cast iron enamel
- Acrylic
- Pressed steel enamel
Common problems we fix in Smyrton
Rust usually starts where water sits, around the waste, under the taps or in an old chip. Water on bare metal causes rust that creeps under the surrounding enamel.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- A chip where the taps sit
- Cracks in an acrylic bath
- Snagging damage from a refit
- A hole punched through by something heavy
Questions to ask before you book
- What protection goes down before work starts
- Whether the price covers travel
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- How changes to the job are handled
Smyrton questions
Is there any odour?
There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.
How soon can you come?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
Will the repair last?
Yes, if it’s prepared properly and the bath is sound. It’s covered by our one-year guarantee.
Do you charge for travel?
We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed quote includes everything.
Can landlords book you?
Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Can you price it without visiting?
In nearly every case. If photos do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Normally, yes. The old repair comes out first.
