Bath repair near Stambourne Green

Should you replace it?

If the rest of the bath is in good condition, a repair is almost always the better choice. It’s quicker, cheaper and far less disruptive, and the bathroom stays as it is. Where the entire surface is tired, we may suggest re-enamelling instead. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.

What you get with us

  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • One visit for most repairs
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • Same prices wherever you are

About our bath repair in Stambourne Green

We repair just the damaged spot and colour-match it to the bath, which is far cheaper than replacing a fitted bath and the tiles around it. Most baths can be used again the next day. If you’re dealing with a hole punched through by something heavy and cracks in an acrylic bath, we can help, on pressed steel enamel, whirlpool & spa baths and roll-top & freestanding alike.

You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we’ll sort it.

Keeping it looking good

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:

  • Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
  • Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
  • Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
  • Give the bath a quick rinse after use

Keep metal objects like razors and cans off the surface, as they can leave rust marks. And fix dripping taps promptly.

Rust spreads under enamel faster than most people expect. A chip the size of a fingernail can become a much larger patch if it’s left for months, so early repair keeps the cost down.

How the visit works

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, then carry out the work, which generally takes a few hours, depending on the damage. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.

  1. We start by cleaning the damage and taking out loose enamel and rust.
  2. We fill the damage and sand it flush with the surrounding surface.
  3. The colour is mixed on the spot to match your bath.
  4. Finish coats go on, then the repair is polished to blend in.
  5. Once it has cured, normally by the next day, the bath is ready to use.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Landlord and trade work in Stambourne Green

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access.

Honest limits

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

  • A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
  • Metal that has corroded all the way through
  • Wear across the entire surface, which needs re-enamelling

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.

What we work on

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

When to call us in Stambourne Green

Baths take more knocks than people expect: bottles, shower heads and razors are dropped every day, and fittings press hard against the enamel. Sooner or later, most baths pick up a chip.

The most common problems we’re called about are:

  • Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
  • A hole punched through by something heavy
  • Rusty patches near the plughole
  • A failed DIY repair that is discoloured or lifting

10 questions to ask before booking

What bath repair costs

Prices start from £95. You’ll know the full cost before booking. We take into account:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • How many areas need work
  • What kind of damage it is
  • The material

Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Send photos for a quote

Two or three clear pictures are usually enough. Try to include:

  • A wider photo showing the whole bath
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

For a price in Stambourne Green, the easiest route is photos: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

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 typically the cheaper route.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
