Trusted bath repair in Stanton Prior

How it works

We turn up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your photos first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. Most visits take two to three hours for most chips, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. We protect the bath and the floor around it.
  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 day after.

Preparing for the visit

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

Advice

How we handle bath repair in Stanton Prior

Whether your bath is steel, cast iron or acrylic, we can repair it. Each material is repaired a little differently: metal baths need any rust dealt with first, and acrylic cracks need support from behind. If you are dealing with holes from dropped items and chips caused by builders, we can typically put it right, whatever the material.

You’re covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before you book.

DIY kit or professional repair?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, 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 isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.

Why repair rather than replace?

Cast iron baths in particular are worth repairing: they’re very heavy to remove, especially upstairs, and a like-for-like replacement can be expensive. Repairing it leaves it where it is. Prices start from £95. Compared with replacing, repairing usually costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Why book with us

  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • Fixed prices from your pictures
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish

Take a look at our prices page and resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.

Honest limits

Not everything can be repaired, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:

  • Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we can’t get to from below
  • A whole bath that’s dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
  • Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.

Materials we repair

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

What your bath is made of matters

Pressed steel

Steel baths are lighter than cast iron, but have a similar enamel surface. Chips rust quickly on steel, particularly by the plughole, so early repairs matter.

Cast iron

Cast iron is heavy and rigid, 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.

How to care for the repair

Nothing complicated is needed:

  • Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
  • Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
  • Store metal items away from the bath
  • Put a towel in the bath if you are working above it

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

A chip on a metal bath shouldn’t be left. Water gets to the metal and rust starts, and a rust spot is a bigger repair than a clean chip.

What we’re called out for in Stanton Prior

Most bath damage comes from something dropped: a shampoo bottle, a shower head, a tile or a tool during a refit. On steel and cast iron baths, any chip down to the metal lets water in, and rust follows.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

  • A chipped rim or side
  • Snagging damage from a refit
  • A failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting
  • Rust spots around the plughole
