When a repair is not the answer

In fairness, there are a few things a repair will not fix:

  • Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
  • Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
  • Acrylic cracks with no access behind them

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

Surfaces we repair

  • Roll-top & freestanding
  • Cast iron enamel

Whatever the damage, the aim is the same: a repair that is smooth, sound and hard to spot. We prepare the area properly, fill and shape it, then match the colour and gloss so it sits flush with the rest of the bath. Whether it’s chips on the rim or sides and a kit repair that didn’t last, we can help, on pressed steel enamel, acrylic and roll-top & freestanding alike.

Every job is backed for twelve months in Stapleford and everywhere else. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper 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, and the work is guaranteed.

How it works

Once we’re through the door, 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 with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. First, we check the damage against your pictures and agree the plan.
  2. Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
  3. The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
  4. The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
  5. The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.

Before we arrive

  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

How we price bath repair

Prices start from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Stapleford. The price depends on:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

How to get a fixed price

Photographing the damage takes a minute. Please include:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A photo taken from further back
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Natural light rather than flash

You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

Looking after it afterwards

Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:

  • If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
  • Store metal items away from the bath
  • Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
  • Get any new chip repaired before it rusts

In the first few days, avoid putting weight or bottles on the repair. After that, normal gentle cleaning is fine without abrasive products.

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.

Signs you need bath repair in Stapleford

Most bath damage comes from something dropped: bottles, shower heads, tiles and tools. On enamelled baths, any chip down to the metal will start to rust.

People generally call us after spotting one of these:

  • Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
  • Cracks in an acrylic bath
  • Rusty patches near the plughole
  • A chipped rim or side

Questions to ask before you book

  • A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • Who turns up on the day
  • How soon you can use it again

Choosing a repair company

Repairs by material

Pressed steel

Pressed steel is thinner and lighter, with an enamel finish like cast iron. Exposed steel rusts fast, particularly by the plughole, so repair chips early.

Composite and resin

Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid, and often freestanding. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour-matched, in much the same way.

FAQs for Stapleford

Can landlords book you?

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

What about rust by the waste?

Yes, it’s one of the most common repairs we do. The rust is cut back to clean metal and sealed before we fill and finish it.

Can you repair a crack in an acrylic bath?

Usually, yes, as long as we can get to the back of the crack to support it. Check under the bath panel, or send us a picture.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

Do the materials smell?

It depends on the job, but often a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help.

Do I have to be there?

We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Do you charge for travel?

No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
