Bath repair in Sterte without replacing anything
Most of our bath repairs take a few hours, and the bath is back in use the following day. There is no need to book a plumber or tiler, because nothing is disconnected. We work on acrylic, whirlpool & spa baths and cast iron enamel, and common reasons people get in touch are impact holes in acrylic and chips along the edge of the bath.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Keeping it looking good
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
- Put a towel in the bath if you are working above it
- Don’t leave razors or cans standing in the bath
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
Keep metal objects like razors and cans off the surface, because they can mark the enamel. A dripping tap should be fixed early, too.
A chip on a metal bath shouldn’t be left. Once water reaches the metal, rust begins, and a rust spot is a bigger repair than a clean chip.
Repairing versus replacing in Sterte
Swapping a damaged bath for a new one normally involves a plumber, lifting out the old bath, making good the tiles and panel and disposing of the old one. Repairing it fixes just the damaged area in one visit. Our bath repair starts from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

The process
We turn up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. Most visits take a few hours, depending on the damage, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- First, we check the damage against your photos and agree the plan.
- Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
- The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
- The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
- Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.
Before we arrive
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Advice
What we can’t put right
To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before you book.

DIY kit or professional repair?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

Signs you need bath repair in Sterte
Dropped items cause the majority of chips, and a lot happen during bathroom refits. Cracks in acrylic have a different cause: poor support underneath, so the bath flexes when it’s full.
Common reasons people in Sterte contact us are:
- Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
- A hole punched through by something heavy
- An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
- Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
