Do you work in Steeton?

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

We review the photos and send a fixed quote with dates.

Can pets and children be at home?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.

Is it messy?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.

Is my repair covered?

All our work carries a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Is a holed acrylic bath repairable?

How we handle bath repair in Steeton

We have repaired just about every kind of bath damage: chips from dropped bottles, rust round the plughole, cracks in acrylic and holes from falling tools. All of it is repaired where the bath stands. Typical jobs include a chip where the taps sit and rust by the waste and overflow, on pressed steel enamel, whirlpool & spa baths and roll-top & freestanding.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are covered after the visit.

What we’re called out for in Steeton

Rust tends to begin where water collects, by the plughole, beneath dripping taps or in an unrepaired chip. Once water reaches the steel or iron, rust spreads under the enamel.

People normally call us when they notice something like this:

  • Rust by the waste and overflow
  • Impact holes in acrylic
  • Damage beneath the taps
  • A kit repair that didn’t last

What your quote should include

  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • How long it needs to cure

Our hiring checklist

How it works

Here’s how a visit generally runs: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and clear up. Allow a few hours, depending on the damage from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
  2. We fill the damage and sand it flush with the surrounding surface.
  3. We tint the finish on the day to suit your bath’s shade of white or colour.
  4. Finish coats go on, then the repair is polished to blend in.
  5. The repair is left to cure, and most baths can be used the day after.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Advice

Work for landlords and builders

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

Different materials, different repairs

Pressed steel

Steel baths are lighter than cast iron, but have a similar enamel surface. Exposed steel rusts fast, particularly by the plughole, so early repairs matter.

Acrylic

An acrylic bath is a moulded sheet strengthened from below. There is no rust, but cracks, holes and scratches happen, and a crack only stays repaired if it’s supported underneath.

What a repair can’t fix

Not everything can be repaired, and we’ll tell you before we start. We cannot fix:

  • A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
  • Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we can’t get to from below
  • A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

Materials we work on in Steeton

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

Aftercare tips

So the finish stays in good condition for years:

  • Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
  • Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
  • Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
  • Check that an acrylic bath doesn’t move when you stand in it

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.

Avoid standing in a cracked acrylic bath until it’s fixed. Each time it flexes, the crack grows, and water can get through to the floor below.

DIY kit or professional repair?

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

Repairing versus replacing in Steeton

People often assume a cracked or chipped bath has to come out. Generally it does not: a proper repair gives it years more use, without the cost and upheaval of replacing it. Prices start from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Steeton. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Why us?

  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • Normally one visit, start to finish
