Common questions in Springside
What do you need from me?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, we often do. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.
Will the price change on the day?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Will there be a smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.
What happens after I send photos?
We review the photos and send a fixed quote.
Can you repair a crack in an acrylic bath?
Often, yes, if we can reach the underside to reinforce it. Take off the bath panel and check, or send us a picture.
Can pets and children be at home?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Bath repair in Springside, done in place
Most of our bath repairs take a few hours, and the bath is back in use the following day. You will not need a plumber or tiler, because nothing is disconnected. If you’re dealing with a chip where the taps sit and a cracked acrylic bath, we can typically put it right.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re not left on your own once we’ve gone.

Should you replace it?
When the bath is otherwise sound, repairing beats replacing. It’s quicker, cheaper and far less disruptive, and the bathroom stays as it is. Where the entire surface is tired, we may suggest re-enamelling instead. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Common problems we fix in Springside
Rust usually starts where water sits, around the waste, under the taps or in an old chip. Water on bare metal causes rust that creeps under the surrounding enamel.
If you can see any of these, send us a picture:
- Chips along the edge of the bath
- Chips caused by builders
- Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
- Damage beneath the taps

How the visit works
We turn up at the time we agreed with you and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. Most visits take two to three hours for most chips, and we leave the room as we found it.
- We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
- Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
- The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
- The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
- Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.
Before we arrive
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
How to get a price
Upload a picture of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Springside, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
Advice
Work for landlords and builders
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
For anyone letting property in or around Springside, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send pictures for each one and we’ll price them together.
What your bath is made of matters
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that is what we repair.
Pressed steel
Steel baths are lighter than cast iron, but have a similar enamel surface. Exposed steel rusts fast, especially around the waste, so repair chips early.
Looking after it afterwards
Looking after the surface is easy:
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
- Make sure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
Keep metal objects like razors and cans off the surface, as they can leave rust marks. A dripping tap should be fixed early, too.
Until we visit, a strip of waterproof tape over the damage helps, to keep water out. Remove it before the repair.
When a repair isn’t the answer
In fairness, some problems need a different fix:
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
- A steel bath rusted through
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.
Materials we repair
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Pressed steel enamel
- Cast iron enamel
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Acrylic
Can I fix it myself?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully 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 many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
