About our bath repair in Stepaside

It pays to repair bath damage while it’s small. On steel and cast iron, exposed metal starts to rust, and on acrylic, a crack keeps spreading while the bath flexes. A repair stops both. We’re often asked to fix a chip where the taps sit and an old repair that has yellowed or come loose, on whirlpool & spa baths, cast iron enamel and pressed steel enamel.

Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

Can I fix it myself?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.

What your bath is made of matters

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that’s the part we put right.

Composite and resin

Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid, and frequently freestanding. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, in much the same way.

How to care for the repair

Nothing complicated is needed:

  • If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
  • Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
  • Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
  • Get any new chip repaired before it rusts

Give the repair the full curing time we recommend before using the bath. From then on, mild cleaning is all it needs.

Don’t leave a chip on a steel or cast iron bath. Water gets to the metal and rust starts, turning a quick repair into a bigger one.

Landlord and trade work in Stepaside

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Stepaside questions

How long does the repair take to cure?

Typically the following day. We’ll tell you the exact curing time when we finish.

Can I add another job to the visit?

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

Are there extra charges for Stepaside?

No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Do you work in Stepaside?

Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Stepaside. Send photos and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Can pets and children be at home?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Yes, we frequently do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

What about rust by the waste?

Yes. We take out the rust and any loose enamel, seal and fill the area, then colour-match the finish.

Something went through my bath. Can it be fixed?

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

How to compare quotes

What we do, step by step

On the day, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take a few hours. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.

  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. We build up the finish and polish it into the surrounding enamel.
  5. The repair is left to cure, and most baths can be used the next day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

How to get a price

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

When a repair is not the answer

In fairness, some problems need a different fix:

  • Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
  • A whole bath that is dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
  • Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.

Materials we work on in Stepaside

Quotes from your pictures

We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what we need:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
