Bath repair for Stanton Lacy homes

Should I try a DIY kit first?

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

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, a professional repair is worth it.

About our bath repair in Stanton Lacy

You don’t need a new bath because of a chip. Our technicians fill, shape and refinish the damage, with the colour mixed on site so the repair is hard to spot. If you’re dealing with an old repair that has yellowed or come loose and chips on the rim or sides, we can help, on pressed steel enamel, acrylic and whirlpool & spa baths alike.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Looking after it afterwards

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
  • Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
  • Give the bath a quick rinse after use
  • If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted

A repaired bath needs no special treatment, just sensible cleaning. Skip bleach and gritty creams and rinse after use.

Rust spreads under enamel faster than most people expect. A chip the size of a fingernail can become a much larger patch if it’s left for months, so it pays to deal with it early.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Composite and resin

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

Pressed steel

Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.

Should you replace it?

Replacing a fitted bath typically means a plumber, removing the old bath, making good the tiles and panel and disposing of the old one. A repair deals only with the damage in one visit. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

When we would advise against a repair

A repair isn’t always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:

  • Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
  • Metal that has corroded all the way through
  • A whole bath that is dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before you book.

Materials we repair

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

Stanton Lacy questions

Is a cracked acrylic bath repairable?

Frequently, yes, if we can reach the underside to reinforce it. Check under the bath panel, or send us a picture.

Can you match an avocado or pink bath?

Yes, coloured baths are no problem. We tint the finish to your bath on site.

How long before I can use the bath?

Normally by the following day, depending on the repair.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

The price is fixed for what the pictures show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

What does bath repair cost?

Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You will get a fixed figure before booking.

Do I have to be there?

We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.

How quickly can you book me in?

Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.

Is a bath repair durable?

A properly prepared repair should last a long time, and ours come with a one-year guarantee. Gentle cleaning helps.

What we are called out for in Stanton Lacy

Acrylic baths that crack nearly always have a support problem. Legs that are not adjusted, a missing cradle or a soft floor let the base flex until it cracks.

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

  • Rusty patches near the plughole
  • Cracks in an acrylic bath
  • A chip where the taps sit
  • An old repair that has yellowed or come loose

How the visit works

On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job usually takes a morning or an afternoon. We clean up when we are done and let you know when you can use it again.

  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. The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
  4. We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
  5. The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.

How to prepare

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Ensure the area is dry
