Bath repair in Steinis

How it works

The work is clean and fairly quiet. We protect the area first, then the work takes a few hours, depending on the damage. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to look after it.

  1. First, we check the damage against your photos and agree the plan.
  2. Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
  3. We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to 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.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

How to get a price

We price from photos so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.

How we price bath repair

Repairs from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • The type of damage
  • The material and finish
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Send pictures for a quote

Before you send pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • One picture of the entire bath
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Where you are, by postcode

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed quote the same day in most cases.

Keeping it looking good

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:

  • Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
  • Make sure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
  • Have new chips seen to early
  • Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale

A repaired bath needs no special treatment, beyond gentle cleaning. Skip bleach and gritty creams.

Small chips are quick to repair. Left alone, they stain and can rust, so it’s worth getting them done early.

Steinis: your questions answered

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send photos.

What do you need from me?

Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.

Are you a vetted contractor?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

Can you fix rust around the plughole?

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.

How much does bath repair cost in Steinis?

Prices start from £95. We give a fixed quote from your photos. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your HS2 postcode.

Can you repair a hole in a bath?

Generally, yes, if we can reach behind it. The hole is backed, filled and refinished to match.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing a bath rarely stops at the bath: tiles along the rim usually crack when it comes out, a new panel is often needed, and the plumbing has to be disconnected and refitted. A repair skips all of it. Prices start from £95. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Why us?

  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • One price list for the whole UK

Landlord and trade work in Steinis

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

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

Can I fix it myself?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

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

Honest limits

To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:

  • Wear across the entire surface, which needs re-enamelling
  • Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
  • Metal that has corroded all the way through

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

Surfaces we repair

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