DIY kit or professional repair?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

Repair or replace in Stanton?

Cast iron baths in particular are worth repairing: they’re very heavy to remove, especially upstairs, and replacing like for like isn’t cheap. A repair keeps it in place. Our bath repair starts from £95. We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

What you get with us

  • No extra charge for your area
  • We leave the room as we found it
  • One visit for most repairs
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job

Read our prices page and guide to resurfacing and replacement costs.

Aftercare tips

Looking after the surface is easy:

  • Don’t leave razors or cans standing in the bath
  • A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
  • Put a towel in the bath if you are working above it
  • Rinse it down after each bath

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

If water is getting through a crack, stop using the bath until it’s repaired. Leaks under a bath can damage floors and ceilings.

Questions from Stanton

I tried a repair kit. Can you fix it?

Yes. We remove the old filler and start again. Mention it when you send photos.

Can you repair a chip on a coloured bath?

Yes. The colour is mixed on site to suit your bath, including pastel and older colours.

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.

Something went through my bath. Can it be fixed?

Normally, yes, if we can reach behind it. We back the hole, fill it and refinish the surface.

How long does the repair take to cure?

Most baths can be used the day after. We will tell you the exact curing time when we finish.

Is a bath repair durable?

Done properly, a repair lasts for years, and ours come with a one-year guarantee. Gentle cleaning helps.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and we will quote them together.

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

You’ll get a fixed quote back. You’re under no obligation.

What your bath is made of matters

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are thick and very strong, finished with fired enamel. A chip down to the iron can rust, but the bath itself lasts for generations, which makes it well worth repairing.

Composite and resin

Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour matched, in much the same way.

What happens on the day

From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes a few hours, depending on the damage, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
  2. Next we fill the damage and sand it smooth and level.
  3. The colour is mixed on the spot to match your bath.
  4. We apply the finish coats and polish the repair so it blends in.
  5. The repair is left to cure, and most baths can be used the following day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Open a window if you can
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

For landlords and businesses

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access.

Do you need bath repair in Stanton?

The usual cause is something heavy dropped into the bath, and building work is a common culprit. Acrylic baths crack for a different reason: the bath is not properly supported, so it flexes under weight.

Most people get in touch when they notice one of these:

  • Damage beneath the taps
  • A hole punched through by something heavy
  • A failed DIY repair that is discoloured or lifting
  • Rusty patches near the plughole

Questions to ask before booking

  • When it can be used again
  • What prep work is covered
  • Aftercare advice
  • If travel is included in the price

How to compare quotes

What affects the price in Stanton

Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Stanton. The price reflects:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • How much damage there is
  • The type of damage
  • What the surface is made of

Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Getting a price from photos

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A wider photo showing the entire bath

If you are in Stanton and want a price, the easiest route is photos: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
