What affects the price in Staverton

Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:

  • Access to the area
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking.

The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Any details about the material

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.

What your bath is made of matters

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are thick and very strong, with a fused enamel surface. Chips can rust if left, but the body of the bath lasts a very long time, which makes it well worth repairing.

Composite and resin

Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour-matched, just like other baths.

Common problems we fix in Staverton

Damage during fitting is very common. Tools, tiles and fittings get dropped into the bath, often before anyone notices. Snagging repairs like these are a regular job for us.

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

  • Chips along the edge of the bath
  • Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
  • Rust spots around the plughole
  • Cracks in an acrylic bath

Your questions about bath repair in Staverton

Can you repair a failed DIY repair?

Yes, we do this often. The old material comes out, any rust is treated, then we repair it properly.

Is there any odour?

Expect a mild smell while we are working that clears as it cures.

Will the repair last?

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

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

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

Do you repair coloured baths?

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

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote with dates.

What does bath repair cost?

Repairs from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

How the visit works

We work cleanly and quietly, so you can carry on at home. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes two to three hours for most chips. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. We clean the area and remove any loose enamel or rust.
  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. Once it has cured, generally by the day after, the bath is ready to use.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Clear the area around the damage

When a repair is not the answer

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair won’t do:

  • A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
  • Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
  • Leaking fittings, which need a plumber

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before booking.

What we work on

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

Looking after it afterwards

Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:

  • Do not scrub with anything abrasive
  • Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
  • Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
  • Cover the bath during DIY or decorating

Care for the repair the same way as the bath: a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs. Avoid scourers and gritty cream cleaners.

Until we visit, a strip of waterproof tape over the damage helps, so water can’t get in. Take it off before we arrive.

Can I fix it myself?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
