How we handle bath repair in South Stoke

Most of our bath repairs take a few hours, and the bath is back in use the next day. There is no need to book a plumber or tiler, because the bath doesn’t move. Whether it’s a failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting and chips caused by builders, we can generally put it right, whatever the material.

Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

What affects the price in South Stoke

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

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • What the surface is made of
  • How much damage there is
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before booking.

Send photos for a quote

Before you send pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • One picture of the entire bath
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • The material, if you know it
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.

What happens on the day

You don’t need to empty the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we’ve agreed what we’re doing. It generally takes a few hours, and you can get on with other things while we are there.

  1. Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
  2. We clean, key and degrease the damage, and any rust is treated.
  3. Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
  4. We match both the colour and the shine.
  5. We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the following day.

Before we arrive

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Getting a price

There’s 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.

Repair or replace in South Stoke?

If the rest of the bath is in good condition, a repair is almost always the better choice. It costs less, takes less time and causes far less upheaval, and the bathroom stays as it is. Where the whole surface is tired, we may suggest re-enamelling instead. Our bath repair starts from £95. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Why book with us

  • Work done at your home or business
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • One price list for the whole UK
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do

Take a look at our prices page and guide to resurfacing and replacement costs.

What a repair can’t fix

Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits:

  • Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
  • A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
  • Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.

Surfaces we repair

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

South Stoke questions

Is a bath repair durable?

Done properly, a repair lasts for years, and ours come with a one-year guarantee. Gentle cleaning helps it last.

What happens if you find more damage?

We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

Will you leave a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

Is a cracked acrylic bath repairable?

In most cases. We reinforce the crack from behind, then fill and refinish the front, so we need access under the bath.

Is there a guarantee?

Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

How long before I can use the bath?

Most baths can be used the following day. We will tell you the exact curing time when we finish.

Common problems we fix in South Stoke

Many chips happen while the bathroom is being fitted. Tools, tiles and fittings get dropped into the bath, frequently before anyone notices. We repair snagging damage like this regularly.

People generally call us after spotting something like this:

  • Chips under the taps
  • A cracked acrylic bath
  • Snagging damage from a refit
  • Chips on the rim or sides

What your quote should include

  • How to care for the finish
  • When it can be used again
  • Who turns up on the day
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long

Our hiring checklist

What your bath is made of matters

Cast iron

A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that’s the part we put right.

Pressed steel

Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.

Landlords, agents and businesses in South Stoke

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we’ll handle the rest.
