Landlord and trade work in Stanley

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

Bath repair in Stanley, done in place

Whether your bath is steel, cast iron or acrylic, we can repair it. The method changes with the material: rust is treated on metal baths, while cracks in acrylic are reinforced from underneath. We work on roll-top & freestanding, whirlpool & spa baths and pressed steel enamel, and the jobs we see most are scuffs and scratches in the surface and damage beneath the taps.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that’s the part we put right.

Composite and resin

Composite baths are dense and solid, and often freestanding. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour-matched, just like other baths.

DIY kit or professional repair?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, 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 won’t last.

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

Looking after it afterwards

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:

  • Give the bath a quick rinse after use
  • Do not leave razors or cans standing in the bath
  • Do not leave a fresh chip for long
  • Don’t scrub with anything abrasive

In the first few days, avoid putting weight or bottles on the repair. After that, normal gentle cleaning is fine, avoiding abrasives.

Small chips are quick to repair. Leave them and they collect dirt, stain and, on metal baths, rust, so it’s worth getting them done early.

Should you replace it?

Many people think a damaged bath means a new one. In most cases it does not: a proper repair gives it years more use, without the cost and upheaval of replacing it. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Stanley questions

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.

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 photos.

Will there be a smell?

It depends on the job, but often a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.

Do I have to be there?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.

Something went through my bath. Can it be fixed?

Frequently, if there’s access underneath. We back the hole, fill it and refinish the surface.

Can you fix rust around the plughole?

Yes. We take out the rust and any loose enamel, fill the area, then colour-match the finish.

What happens next?

We come back with a fixed price, plus dates. There is no obligation to book.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders in Stanley.

Do you need bath repair in Stanley?

Damage during fitting is very common. Tradespeople drop tools and tiles into the bath, often before anyone notices. We repair snagging damage like this regularly.

If you can see any of these, send us a photo:

  • An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
  • A cracked acrylic bath
  • Scuffs and scratches in the surface
  • Impact holes in acrylic

How to compare quotes

What we do, step by step

On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will take it from there. Most visits take a few hours, depending on the damage.

  1. Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
  2. We clean, key and degrease the damage.
  3. We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
  4. We match both the colour and the shine.
  5. We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, usually the next day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Open a window if you can
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

How to get a price

Most clients in Stanley get their price from pictures. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.
