Bath repair at your home in Sontley
Small damage on a bath is worth repairing early. On steel and cast iron, exposed metal starts to rust, while cracks in acrylic grow each time the bath moves. Repairing it stops the damage getting worse. We work on whirlpool & spa baths, roll-top & freestanding and pressed steel enamel, and the jobs we see most are a failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting and chips along the edge of the bath.
Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

FAQs for Sontley
Are you accredited?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Will the price change on the day?
The price is fixed for what the pictures show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Are there extra charges for Sontley?
We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.
Can you repair a hole in a bath?
Generally. Send us a picture of the hole and one from under the bath if you can.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We review the pictures and send a fixed quote and the next dates we have.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.
The process
We agree an arrival time beforehand. Once we are there, the work takes a few hours, depending on the damage in most cases. The room is left tidy and ready to use once it has cured.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased, and any rust is treated.
- We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
- We match both the colour and the shine.
- We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the following day.
Preparing for the visit
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Open a window if you can
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Advice
Aftercare tips
Nothing complicated is needed:
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
- Store metal items away from the bath
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
- Check that an acrylic bath doesn’t move when you stand in it
Leave the repair to cure for as long as we say before running a bath. From then on, mild cleaning is all it needs.
Small chips are quick to repair. Left alone, they stain and can rust, so early repair saves time and money.
Repair or replace in Sontley?
Replacing a fitted bath typically means a plumber, lifting out the old bath, making good the tiles and panel and getting rid of the old bath. Repairing it deals only with the damage in one visit. Prices start from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

What we are called out for in Sontley
Glass and heavy bottles cause more chips than anything else, with dropped shower heads close behind. Taps and wastes cause problems too: water collects there, so chips nearby rust quickly.
Send us a photo if you notice any of these:
- Rusty patches near the plughole
- A failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting
- Snagging damage from a refit
- Impact holes in acrylic
What your quote should include
- If travel is included in the price
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- Aftercare advice
How we price bath repair
Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- The material
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How easy the damage is to reach
The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before booking, with nothing added on the day.
How to get a fixed price
Two or three clear photos are typically enough. It helps if you send:
- Details of any past repairs
- Where you are, by postcode
- One picture of the whole bath
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
If you are in Sontley and want a price, pictures are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
When a repair isn’t the answer
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before booking.

For landlords and businesses
For anyone letting property in or around Sontley, we will quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we will come back with a combined price.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

What else we do in Sontley
Can I fix it myself?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
