Your questions about bath repair in Staunton in the Vale

What happens next?

You will get a fixed quote back. There’s no obligation to book.

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.

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.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

Is there any odour?

There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.

Do I have to be there?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.

Will the repair last?

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

The process

On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take a few hours, depending on the damage. We clean up when we are done and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. First, we check the damage against your photos and agree the plan.
  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.

Before we arrive

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Ask for a price

Our hiring checklist

What we cannot put right

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • Cracks in acrylic we can’t reach from underneath
  • A steel bath rusted through
  • A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.

Surfaces we repair

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

For landlords and businesses

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Staunton in the Vale use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

What bath repair costs

Prices start from £95. There’s no area surcharge for Staunton in the Vale. What changes the price is:

  • The material
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • The size and number of damaged areas

The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.

Quotes from your photos

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

  • The material, if you know it
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A picture taken from further back

If you are in Staunton in the Vale and want a price, pictures are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

DIY kit or professional repair?

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.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Composite and resin

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

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’s the part we put right.

Aftercare tips

Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:

  • Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
  • Do not scrub with anything abrasive
  • If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
  • Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale

In the first few days, avoid putting weight or bottles on the repair. After that, clean it as you would the rest of the bath without abrasive products.

If water is getting through a crack, stop using the bath. Water under the bath can damage the floor and the ceiling below.
