Bath repair in Stalland Common

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • The type of damage
  • Access to the area

A repair typically costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Quotes from your photos

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Please include:

  • The material, if you know it
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Where you are, by postcode

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

The process

Once we’re through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes a few hours, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
  2. Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
  3. The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of 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.

Preparing for the visit

  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

Getting a price

What a repair can’t fix

A repair is not always the answer, and we will tell you before we start. We can’t fix:

  • A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
  • Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
  • Acrylic cracks with no access behind them

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Materials we repair

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

Why repair rather than replace?

Many people think a damaged bath means a new one. Normally it does not: a repair keeps the bath in service for years, without the cost and upheaval of replacing it. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.

Why us?

  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • Most jobs done in one visit

Keeping it looking good

Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:

  • Do not leave a fresh chip for long
  • Store metal items away from the bath
  • Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
  • Clean with warm water and a mild detergent

Keep metal objects like razors and cans off the surface, because they can mark the enamel. And fix dripping taps promptly.

If water is getting through a crack, stop using the bath. Water under the bath can damage the floor and the ceiling below.
