What we cannot put right

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • Metal that has corroded all the way through
  • Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
  • A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense

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

What we work on

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

How we price bath repair

Repairs from £95. There is no charge for travel to Staffield. The price depends on:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • How many areas need work
  • What the surface is made of
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

Compared with replacing, repairing typically costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

How to get a fixed price

Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Details of any past repairs
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • A photo taken from further back

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and no obligation.

Staffield questions

Is it messy?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.

Do you work in Staffield?

Can you match an avocado or pink bath?

Yes, coloured baths are no problem. The colour is tinted by hand on the day.

What happens next?

You will get a fixed quote back. You’re under no obligation.

What does bath repair cost?

Repairs from £95. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Is there a guarantee?

Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Can tenants book a repair?

Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

For a hairline mark somewhere you will 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, it’s worth having it done properly.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Staffield

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

How to look after the repair

Nothing complicated is needed:

  • Give the bath a quick rinse after use
  • Do not leave razors or cans standing in the bath
  • Make sure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
  • Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale

There is nothing special to do after a repair. Avoid bleach-based and gritty cleaners.

Tape over a fresh chip or crack until it’s repaired, to keep water out. Take it off before we arrive.

Repairing versus replacing in Staffield

If the rest of the bath is in good condition, a repair is almost always the better choice. It costs less, takes less time and causes far less upheaval, and the bathroom stays as it is. Where the entire surface is tired, we may suggest re-enamelling instead. Prices start from £95. A repair typically costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.

  • No need to remove anything

Repairs by material

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

Composite and resin

Composite baths are dense and solid, and frequently freestanding. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, just like other baths.

The process

From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes two to three hours for most chips, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  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. Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

Ask for a price

Upload a photo of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you’re in Staffield, and we will come back with a fixed quote.
