Bath repair for St Day homes

How we handle bath repair in St Day

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 the bath does not move. We work on acrylic, roll-top & freestanding and pressed steel enamel, and the jobs we see most are a kit repair that didn’t last and damage done while the bathroom was being fitted.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re covered after the visit.

How we price bath repair

Repairs from £95. We price every job individually, from your photos. The main factors are:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • What the surface is made of
  • How much damage there is
  • Doing more than one item at once

The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.

Getting a price from photos

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

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Details of any past repairs
  • Any details about the material

To get a price, send a couple of pictures using our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

What happens on the day

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you’re not left guessing. Once we’re there, the work takes a morning or an afternoon in most cases. The room is left tidy.

  1. First, we check the damage against your photos and agree the plan.
  2. Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
  3. We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
  4. The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
  5. The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.

Before we arrive

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Your questions about bath repair in St Day

Do the materials smell?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.

Can tenants book a repair?

We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just make sure the landlord agrees.

Do you work in St Day?

Yes. We work across the UK and come to St Day. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Can you repair a crack in an acrylic bath?

Most of the time. We reinforce the crack from behind, then fill and refinish the front, so we need access under the bath.

Is a bath repair durable?

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

Is there a call-out fee?

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

Can you repair a chip on a coloured bath?

Yes. The colour is mixed on site to suit your bath, including pastel and older colours.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

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

For landlords and businesses

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

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.

Repair or replace: which is better?

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. Repairing it leaves it where it is. Our bath repair starts from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Why us?

  • A fixed quote before booking
  • Same prices wherever you are
  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • One visit for most repairs

See our prices page and bath cost comparison.

Looking after it afterwards

Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:

  • Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
  • Rinse it down after each bath
  • Don’t leave a fresh chip for long
  • Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth

For the first few days, keep heavy bottles off the repaired spot. After that, normal gentle cleaning is fine, avoiding abrasives.

A chip on a metal bath shouldn’t be left. Water gets to the metal and rust starts, turning a quick repair into a bigger one.

What your bath is made of matters

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.

Composite and resin

Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour-matched, in much the same way.

What we are called out for in St Day

Nearly all the chips we see start with something being dropped: bottles, shower heads, tiles and tools. On steel and cast iron baths, any chip down to the metal will start to rust.

You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:

  • Snagging damage from a refit
  • Holes from dropped items
  • Chips along the edge of the bath
  • Cracks in an acrylic bath

Comparing quotes

  • When it can be used again
  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • Aftercare advice
  • A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
