Bath repair for Steeple Barton homes

Bath repair in Steeple Barton, done in place

Repairing baths is what we do most. Chips on the rim, rust around the waste and cracks in acrylic are all fixed without removing the bath, normally in one visit. Typical jobs include chips on the rim or sides and a kit repair that didn’t last, in acrylic, whirlpool & spa baths and pressed steel enamel.

We guarantee the work for a year. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Repair or replace: which is better?

A repair makes sense whenever the damage is localised. It’s a fraction of the cost of a new bath and fitting, it’s done in one visit, and the bathroom stays exactly as it is. Prices start from £95. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

What you get with us

  • One price list for the entire UK
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish

Read our pricing and resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.

Aftercare tips

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:

  • Store metal items away from the bath
  • Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
  • Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
  • Don’t scrub with anything abrasive

Use gentle, non-abrasive cleaners and try not to drop heavy bottles on the repair. Get any new chip seen to quickly, before rust sets in.

Until we visit, a strip of waterproof tape over the damage helps, so water cannot get in. Remove it before the repair.

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

Common questions in Steeple Barton

Do you hold any accreditations?

We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

Is there a guarantee?

Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

What does bath repair cost?

Repairs from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You’ll get a fixed figure before you 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?

Often, if there’s access underneath. We back the hole, fill it and refinish the surface.

What happens if you find more damage?

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

Can you price it without visiting?

Nearly always. If pictures do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

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

When to call us in Steeple Barton

Damage during fitting is very common. Tradespeople drop tools and tiles into the bath, and the damage isn’t always spotted until later. Snagging repairs like these are a regular job for us.

The things customers normally mention when they call include:

  • A failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting
  • Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
  • A hole punched through by something heavy
  • Chips under the taps

Questions to ask before booking

  • If travel is included in the price
  • What happens if they find more damage
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • Aftercare advice

10 questions to ask before you book

What we do, step by step

The work is clean and fairly quiet. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes a few hours. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to look after it.

  1. We clean the area and remove any loose enamel or rust.
  2. We fill the damage and sand it flush with the surrounding surface.
  3. We mix the colour on the day to match your bath’s exact shade.
  4. We apply the finish coats and polish the repair so it blends in.
  5. Once it has cured, typically by the following day, the bath is ready to use.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Getting a price

Send us pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your OX25 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

What affects the price in Steeple Barton

Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We look at:

  • The material and finish
  • How much damage there is
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.

Quotes from your photos

Phone pictures are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Make sure they show:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • What it’s made of, if you know

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

Landlord and trade work in Steeple Barton

Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

When a repair is not the answer

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
  • Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we can’t get to from below
  • Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet

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