DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

Do you need bath repair in Stansted?

Heavy toiletries are the biggest single cause of chips. Taps and wastes cause problems too: water sits around them, and any chip there soon rusts.

The things clients typically mention when they call are:

  • Chips under the taps
  • Chips caused by builders
  • A kit repair that didn’t last
  • Scuffs and scratches in the surface

How to compare quotes

What bath repair costs

Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:

  • What the surface is made of
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The type of damage
  • Unusual colours or finishes

The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Quotes from your photos

Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To make it quick:

  • One picture of the whole bath
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Any details about the material
  • Something in shot to show the size

Send us pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your TN15 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

Aftercare tips

A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:

  • Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
  • Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
  • Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
  • Check that an acrylic bath does not move when you stand in it

A repaired bath needs no special treatment, just sensible cleaning. Avoid bleach-based and gritty cleaners and give it a rinse after each bath.

A chip on a metal bath shouldn’t be left. Once water reaches the metal, rust begins, turning a quick repair into a bigger one.

What your bath is made of matters

Cast iron

A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that is what we repair.

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

Work for landlords and builders

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, photos and access details and we’ll arrange it.

What happens on the day

You don’t need to empty the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and start once you are happy with the plan. Most jobs take a few hours, depending on the damage, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. We protect the bath and the floor around it.
  2. The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased, and any rust is treated.
  3. We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
  4. We match both the colour and the shine.
  5. We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the day after.

Before we arrive

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Questions from Stansted

Is a bath repair durable?

Yes, if it’s prepared properly and the bath is sound. It carries our one-year guarantee.

Can you repair a chip on a coloured bath?

Yes. We mix the colour on the day to match, including older coloured suites.

Can you fix rust around the plughole?

Yes. We remove the rust and loose enamel, seal and fill the area, then colour-match the finish.

Do you charge for travel?

Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Can you redo an old repair?

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

Are you accredited?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Typically, yes. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send pictures.

Will it make a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.

When a repair is not the answer

In fairness, some problems need a different fix:

  • Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
  • Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
  • A steel bath rusted through

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.
