Aftercare tips

To keep it looking its best:

  • Do not scrub with anything abrasive
  • Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
  • Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
  • Get a dripping tap fixed promptly

Use gentle, non-abrasive cleaners and try not to drop heavy bottles on the repair. Deal with new chips early, before rust sets in.

Stop using the bath if a crack lets water through. Water under the bath can damage the floor and the ceiling below.

What your bath is made of matters

Composite and resin

Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid, and often freestanding. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour matched, just like other baths.

Pressed steel

Steel baths are lighter than cast iron, but have a similar enamel surface. Chips rust quickly on steel, particularly by the plughole, so early repairs matter.

How the visit works

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and clear up. Allow a few hours from start to finish. Before we go, we will explain when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. We protect the bath and the floor around it.
  2. We clean, key and degrease the damage, and any rust is treated.
  3. We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
  4. Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
  5. We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, typically the following day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

St Margarets questions

Can you repair a crack in an acrylic bath?

Often, yes, if we can reach the underside to reinforce it. Check under the bath panel, or send us a picture.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.

Can you match an avocado or pink bath?

Yes. We mix the colour on the day to match, including older coloured suites.

When can you do it?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Yes, we often do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

Is my repair covered?

Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Are you accredited?

We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

Will you leave a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.

Can I fix it myself?

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

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

Work for landlords and builders

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

When we’d advise against a repair

It helps to know what we cannot do:

  • Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
  • Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we cannot get to from below
  • Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath

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

What we work on

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

Common problems we fix in St Margarets

A bath gets knocked about more than you’d think: bottles, shower heads and razors are dropped every day, and taps and wastes are tightened against the surface. Sooner or later, most baths pick up a chip.

Look out for any of the following:

  • A hole punched through by something heavy
  • Rust spots around the plughole
  • Cracks in an acrylic bath
  • Chips on the rim or sides

What your quote should include

  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match

Our hiring checklist

What affects the price in St Margarets

Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed price from pictures. This is what makes a difference:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • How many items we do on one visit

Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

How to get a fixed price

The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • One picture of the entire bath
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Any details about the material

Upload a photo of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you are in St Margarets, and we will come back with a fixed quote.
