Landlords, agents and businesses in St Michael's Hamlet
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
Looking after it afterwards
To keep it looking its best for years:
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
- Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
A repaired bath needs no special treatment. Skip bleach and gritty creams and rinse after use.
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.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

Common problems we fix in St Michael's Hamlet
Rust tends to begin where water collects, around the waste, under the taps or in an old chip. Water on bare metal causes rust that creeps under the surrounding enamel.
Clients generally contact us about:

Different materials, different repairs
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are thick and very strong, finished with fired enamel. A chip down to the iron can rust, but the bath itself lasts for generations, which makes it well worth repairing.
Acrylic
An acrylic bath is a moulded sheet strengthened from below. They don’t rust, but they can crack, scratch or be holed, and a crack only stays repaired if it’s supported underneath.

When a repair is not the answer

Your questions about bath repair in St Michael's Hamlet
Is a bath repair durable?
A properly prepared repair should last a long time, and it’s guaranteed for a year. Gentle cleaning helps.
Will you leave a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Will there be a smell?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.
When can I have a bath again?
Typically the following day. We confirm the time before we leave.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.
How much does bath repair cost in St Michael's Hamlet?
Prices start from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You’ll get a fixed figure before you book.
