Bath repair near Stanford Common

DIY kit or professional repair?

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.

Bath repair in Stanford Common without replacing anything

Most of our bath repairs take a few hours, and you can generally bathe again the next day. There is no need to book a plumber or tiler, because nothing is disconnected. Typical jobs include chips along the edge of the bath and a kit repair that didn’t last, across acrylic, cast iron enamel and whirlpool & spa baths.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months in Stanford Common and everywhere else. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Signs you need bath repair in Stanford Common

Acrylic baths that crack nearly always have a support problem. Legs that are not adjusted, a missing cradle or a soft floor let the base flex until the acrylic gives way.

Most people get in touch when they notice something like this:

  • A hole punched through by something heavy
  • Damage beneath the taps
  • Snagging damage from a refit
  • Cracks in an acrylic bath

Our hiring checklist

Landlords, agents and businesses in Stanford Common

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

For anyone letting property in or around Stanford Common, we will quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we will price them together.

Aftercare tips

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:

  • Rinse it down after each bath
  • Put a towel in the bath if you are working above it
  • Have new chips seen to early
  • Don’t scrub with anything abrasive

Care for the repair the same way as the bath: a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs. Avoid scourers and gritty cream cleaners.

Small chips are quick to repair. Left alone, they stain and can rust, so early repair saves time and money.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Pressed steel

Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.

Acrylic

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

What affects the price in Stanford Common

Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We look at:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Access to the area
  • The material
  • The type of damage

Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Send photos for a quote

Before you send pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A wider photo showing the whole bath

There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

Why repair rather than replace?

Many people think a damaged bath means a new one. In most cases it does not: a repair keeps the bath in service for years, without the cost and upheaval of replacing it. Prices start from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Why book with us

  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited

How it works

The work is clean and fairly quiet. Protection goes down first, then the work takes a few hours. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. We protect the bath and the floor around it.
  2. The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased.
  3. Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
  4. We match both the colour and the shine.
  5. We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the following day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

We price from pictures so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.
