FAQs for South Cave
I tried a repair kit. Can you fix it?
Yes, we do this often. The old material comes out, any rust is treated, then we repair it properly.
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
When can I have a bath again?
Usually the day after. We confirm the time before we leave.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Can you quote from pictures?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.
What happens next?
We look at the photos and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Will there be a smell?
A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.
About our bath repair in South Cave
We repair enamelled steel, cast iron and acrylic baths. The method changes with the material: metal baths need any rust dealt with first, and acrylic cracks need support from behind. Common call-outs are for chips under the taps and chips caused by builders, across pressed steel enamel, cast iron enamel and roll-top & freestanding.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in South Cave as everywhere else we work.

When we’d advise against a repair
A repair is not always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. We cannot fix:
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.
Surfaces we repair

- Roll-top & freestanding

Landlord and trade work in South Cave
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, photos and access details and we’ll arrange it.
Aftercare tips
Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
- Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
Care for the repair the same way as the bath: warm water, washing-up liquid and a soft cloth. Avoid scourers and gritty cream cleaners.
Avoid standing in a cracked acrylic bath until it’s fixed. Every use opens the crack a little more, and it can start to leak underneath.
What we do, step by step
On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will take it from there. Most visits take a morning or an afternoon.
- We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
- Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
- The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
- We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
- Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.
How to prepare
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Ensure the area is dry
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
How to get a price

Advice
Repair or replace in South Cave?

The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Why us?
- No need to remove anything
- We leave the room as we found it
- One price list for the entire UK
- Honest advice, even when it means no job

Can I fix it myself?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
