Speedwell: your questions answered

Is there a guarantee?

All our work carries our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Can you repair a failed DIY repair?

Yes, we do this often. We strip it out, deal with any rust and repair it again.

How do I get a price for bath repair in Speedwell?

Repairs from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You’ll get a fixed figure before you book.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.

Something went through my bath. Can it be fixed?

In most cases. Photos of the hole and the underside help us check.

Do the materials smell?

There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.

Will the repair last?

It should, as long as the bath is firm and the area was prepared well. It’s covered by our one-year guarantee.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Usually, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.

Bath repair in Speedwell, done in place

Whether your bath is steel, cast iron or acrylic, we can repair it. The method changes with the material: rust is treated on metal baths, while cracks in acrylic are reinforced from underneath. Whether it’s rusty patches near the plughole and chips under the taps, we can normally put it right.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard.

What bath repair costs

Repairs from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Speedwell. The price comes down to:

  • What the surface is made of
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • What kind of damage it is
  • The colour and finish to match

Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Send photos for a quote

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • A wider photo showing the whole bath

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 we will reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and no obligation.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Aftercare tips

To keep it looking its best for years:

  • Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
  • Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
  • Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
  • Keep metal cans and razors off the surface

Treat the repaired area like the rest of the bath: warm water, washing-up liquid and a soft cloth. Avoid scourers and gritty cream cleaners.

Tape over a fresh chip or crack until it’s repaired, to keep water out. Remove it before the repair.

Repairing versus replacing in Speedwell

A repair makes sense whenever the damage is localised. It’s a fraction of the cost of a new bath and fitting, it’s done in one visit, and nothing else in the room changes. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You will see the full price before booking.

What you get with us

  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • Everything repaired in place
  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do

What we do, step by step

We begin by going over the job with you. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and the work begins. Allow a few hours.

  1. We start by cleaning the damage and taking out loose enamel and rust.
  2. Next we fill the damage and sand it smooth and level.
  3. We tint the finish on the day to suit your bath’s shade of white or colour.
  4. We build up the finish and polish it into the surrounding enamel.
  5. We leave it to cure; you can typically use the bath the next day.

Before we arrive

  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

How to get a price

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole bath, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

Landlord and trade work in Speedwell

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Milton Keynes and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Rental properties take more wear, 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.

Do you need bath repair in Speedwell?

The usual cause is something heavy dropped into the bath, and building work is a common culprit. Acrylic baths crack for a different reason: the bath is not properly supported, so it flexes under weight.

Look out for any of the following:

  • An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
  • Snagging damage from a refit
  • Chips under the taps
  • Chips along the edge of the bath

Before you book anyone

  • What preparation is included
  • Who turns up on the day
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?

Choosing a repair company

What a repair cannot fix

A repair isn’t right for every job, including:

  • A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
  • Metal that has corroded all the way through
  • Leaking fittings, which need a plumber

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.

What we work on

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