Bath repair in Stanmore, done in place

A damaged bath does not have to mean a new bathroom. We fill the damage, shape it to the curve of the bath and refinish it, with the colour mixed on site. We regularly repair roll-top & freestanding, pressed steel enamel and cast iron enamel, and the jobs we see most are an old repair that has yellowed or come loose and rust spots around the plughole.

Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

Repair or replace in Stanmore?

For damage in one or two places, a repair is the obvious choice. It’s a fraction of the cost of a new bath and fitting, it takes one visit, and nothing else in the room changes. Our bath repair starts from £95. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.

Why book with us

  • One visit for most repairs
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • Colour-matched on site
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job

See our prices page and bath cost comparison.

What your bath is made of matters

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that is what we repair.

Composite and resin

Composite baths are dense and solid, and frequently freestanding. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, just like other baths.

How to look after the repair

Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:

  • Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
  • Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
  • If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
  • Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas

Use gentle, non-abrasive cleaners and try not to drop heavy bottles on the repair. Get any new chip seen to quickly, before rust can start.

Rust under enamel spreads surprisingly quickly. Left for months, a small chip can grow into a large rust patch, so it pays to deal with it early.

Honest limits

We would rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:

  • A steel bath rusted through
  • A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
  • Acrylic cracks with no access behind them

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

Stanmore questions

What happens if you find more damage?

Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. If there’s more, we’ll tell you before starting.

Is a bath repair permanent?

A properly prepared repair should last a long time, and it’s guaranteed for a year. Gentle cleaning helps.

Will you leave a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.

How long does the repair take to cure?

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

What do you need from me?

Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.

Can pets and children be at home?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

What happens next?

We come back with a fixed quote. There is no obligation to book.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

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 doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

What we’re called out for in Stanmore

Rust usually starts where water sits, by the plughole, beneath dripping taps or in an unrepaired chip. Water on bare metal causes rust that creeps under the surrounding enamel.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

  • Cracks in an acrylic bath
  • Rust spots around the plughole
  • A failed DIY repair that is discoloured or lifting
  • Holes from dropped items

10 questions to ask before you book

How the visit works

We work cleanly and quietly, so you can stay at home while we’re there. Protection goes down first, then the work takes a few hours, depending on the damage. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to look after it.

  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. We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
  4. We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
  5. Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.

How to prepare

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Getting a price

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and no obligation.
