Trusted bath repair in South Stour

Landlord and trade work in South Stour

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 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.

About our bath repair in South Stour

We repair enamelled steel, cast iron and acrylic baths. Each material is repaired a little differently: metal baths need any rust dealt with first, and acrylic cracks need support from behind. Common call-outs are for a failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting and chips under the taps, on roll-top & freestanding, cast iron enamel and whirlpool & spa baths.

Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee.

South Stour: your questions answered

Are there extra charges for South Stour?

No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.

How invisible is a bath repair?

The goal is a repair that blends in. How well it disappears depends on the condition of the rest of the bath, and we’ll tell you what to expect.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.

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.

Will you leave a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.

Do you cover South Stour?

Yes. We work across the UK and travel to South Stour. Send pictures and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

How long does the repair take to cure?

Normally the following day. We will tell you the exact curing time when we finish.

Should you replace it?

When the bath is otherwise sound, repairing beats replacing. 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. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Why us?

  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • A fixed quote before you book
  • Colour-matched on site
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish

Should I try a DIY kit first?

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

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 then the old filler has to be removed first.

What we do, step by step

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, do the job and tidy away. Allow a few hours from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.

  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. We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
  5. Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.

How to prepare

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

Advice

What a repair cannot fix

A repair is not right for every job, including:

  • Metal that has corroded all the way through
  • Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
  • Cracks in acrylic we cannot reach from underneath

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

What we work on

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

Repairs by material

Pressed steel

Steel baths are lighter than cast iron, but have a similar enamel surface. Chips rust quickly on steel, especially around the waste, so repair chips early.

Cast iron

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

How we price bath repair

Repairs from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • The material

Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

How to get a fixed quote

You can take the photos on your phone. Just ensure we can see:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • One picture of the whole bath
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

For a price in South Stour, photos are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
