DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

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.

Repair or replace in St Mary's Bay?

A new bath costs more than the bath itself: removal and disposal, plumbing, a new panel, tiling and decorating. With a repair, it’s one visit and one price. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You will see the full price before booking, with nothing added on the day.

Why St Mary's Bay customers choose us

  • Same prices wherever you are
  • Everything repaired in place
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing

For landlords and businesses

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in St Mary's Bay as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

FAQs for St Mary's Bay

Do you come to St Mary's Bay?

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

What happens if you find more damage?

If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.

Are there extra charges for St Mary's Bay?

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

Will the repair show?

The goal is a repair that blends in. The rest of the bath’s condition makes a difference.

Can a cracked acrylic bath be fixed?

Most of the time. The back of the crack is strengthened before the front is filled and refinished, so access behind the panel is important.

Will there be a smell?

It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.

Keeping it looking good

Looking after the surface is easy:

  • Don’t scrub with anything abrasive
  • Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
  • Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
  • Get any new chip repaired before it rusts

Keep metal objects like razors and cans off the surface, because they can mark the enamel. A dripping tap should be fixed early, too.

Avoid standing in a cracked acrylic bath until it’s fixed. Every use opens the crack a little more, and water can get through to the floor below.

Honest limits

We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:

  • A whole bath that’s dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
  • Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
  • Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we can’t get to from below

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

Surfaces we repair

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

What happens on the day

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you are not left guessing. Once we are there, the work takes two to three hours for most chips in most cases. The room is left tidy.

  1. We protect the bath and the floor around it.
  2. The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased.
  3. We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
  4. Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
  5. We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the next day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

Advice

What bath repair costs

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

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Quotes from your pictures

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • One picture of the entire bath

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole bath, add your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.

What your bath is made of matters

Pressed steel

Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.

Composite and resin

Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour-matched, just like other baths.
