How the visit works

When we visit, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job normally takes a few hours. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
  2. We clean, key and degrease the damage.
  3. Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
  4. Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
  5. We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, typically the next day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Should I try a DIY kit first?

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

What we’re called out for in Stanford on Avon

Glass and heavy bottles cause more chips than anything else. Fittings cause damage too: water sits around them, and any chip there soon rusts.

Most people get in touch after spotting something like this:

  • Rust spots around the plughole
  • Cracks in an acrylic bath
  • A failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting
  • Damage beneath the taps

Before booking anyone

  • Who turns up on the day
  • How the colour is matched
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
  • If travel is included in the price

Our hiring checklist

When a repair is not the answer

We would rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so these are the limits:

  • Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
  • Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
  • A whole bath that is dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

What we work on

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

How to care for the repair

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

  • Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
  • Store metal items away from the bath
  • Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
  • Get any new chip repaired before it rusts

Look after the repair the same way as the bath: warm water, washing-up liquid and a soft cloth. Keep scouring pads and gritty cleaners away from it.

A small chip is a quick job. Left alone, they stain and can rust, so it’s worth getting them done early.

Should you replace it?

For damage in one or two places, a repair is the obvious choice. It costs far less than a new bath plus fitting, it takes one visit, and nothing else in the room changes. Prices start from £95. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Why book with us

  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year

Common questions in Stanford on Avon

Do I need to be at home?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.

Will I be able to see the repair?

The goal is a repair that blends in. The rest of the bath’s condition makes a difference.

Do you charge for travel?

No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send photos of everything you’d like done.

How long before I can use the bath?

Most baths can be used the next day. We’ll tell you the exact curing time when we finish.

Do you hold any accreditations?

We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

I tried a repair kit. Can you fix it?

Yes. We take out the old repair and do it properly. Mention it when you send pictures.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Stanford on Avon

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

If you manage property in Stanford on Avon, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send pictures for each address and we will price them together.

Different materials, different repairs

Composite and resin

Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid, and frequently freestanding. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour matched, in much the same way.

Acrylic

Acrylic baths are moulded sheet reinforced underneath. They don’t rust, but they can crack, scratch or be holed, and a crack only stays repaired if it’s supported underneath.
