Should you replace it?

Cast iron baths in particular are worth repairing: they’re very heavy to remove, especially upstairs, and a like-for-like replacement can be expensive. A repair keeps it in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Why us?

  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • Everything repaired in place

Landlord and trade work in St Cadocs

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

For anyone letting property in or around St Cadocs, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Send pictures for each one and we will price them together.

When a repair is not the answer

We’d rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:

  • Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
  • Metal that has corroded all the way through
  • A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense

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

What we work on

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

FAQs for St Cadocs

What information do you need?

Photos of the damage, a picture of the entire bath and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

When can you do it?

Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.

Can pets and children be at home?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.

Will there be a smell?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.

Do I need to be at home?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.

When can I have a bath again?

Most baths can be used the next day. We’ll tell you the exact curing time when we finish.

Is a bath repair permanent?

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

Do you charge for travel?

We don’t add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.

How the visit works

We work cleanly and quietly. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes two to three hours for most chips. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
  2. Next we fill the damage and sand it smooth and level.
  3. The colour is mixed on the spot to match your bath.
  4. We apply the finish coats and polish the repair so it blends in.
  5. The repair is left to cure, and most baths can be used the day after.

Preparing for the visit

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

Different materials, different repairs

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that’s the part we put right.

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.

Common problems we fix in St Cadocs

The usual cause is something heavy dropped into the bath, and building work is a common culprit. Cracks in acrylic have a different cause: poor support underneath, so the bath flexes when it’s full.

The most common problems we’re called about are:

  • Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
  • Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
  • Scuffs and scratches in the surface
  • A failed DIY repair that is discoloured or lifting

What your quote should include

  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • If travel is included in the price
  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • Whether they match the colour on site

How to compare quotes

Looking after it afterwards

Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:

  • Do not leave razors or cans standing in the bath
  • Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
  • Ensure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
  • Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning

A repaired bath needs no special treatment. Skip bleach and gritty creams and give it a rinse after each bath.

Small chips are quick to repair. Leave them and they collect dirt, stain and, on metal baths, rust, so early repair saves time and money.

How we price bath repair

Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:

  • What the surface is made of
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How many items we do on one visit

A repair usually costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Getting a price from pictures

When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • A wider photo showing the entire bath
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

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