How we handle bath repair in Stetchworth

Most bath damage, from chips and cracks to rust spots and holes, can be repaired with the bath left exactly where it is. Nothing is unplumbed, the tiles aren’t touched, and the repaired area is colour matched so it blends in. We regularly repair pressed steel enamel, roll-top & freestanding and whirlpool & spa baths, and people most frequently call us about an old repair that has yellowed or come loose and rust by the waste and overflow.

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

Our hiring checklist

How we price bath repair

Repairs from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Stetchworth. The price comes down to:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • The material and finish
  • How hard the colour is to match

No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Getting a price from photos

Two or three clear pictures are typically enough. Try to include:

  • One picture of the entire bath
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • What it’s made of, if you know

For a price in Stetchworth, photos are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

What happens on the day

We begin by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we are doing. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and we start. Allow a few hours, depending on the damage, and we will keep you posted as we go.

  1. First, we check the damage against your pictures 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. The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
  5. The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.

Preparing for the visit

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

Advice

Work for landlords and builders

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Aftercare tips

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Ensure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
  • Do not scrub with anything abrasive
  • A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
  • Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby

For the first few days, keep heavy bottles off the repaired spot. After that, normal gentle cleaning is fine, avoiding abrasives.

Rust spreads under enamel faster than most people expect. Left for months, a small chip can grow into a large rust patch, so early repair keeps the cost down.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Acrylic

Acrylic baths are moulded sheet reinforced underneath. There is no rust, but cracks, holes and scratches happen, and cracks need support from behind to stay fixed.

Pressed steel

Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.

Stetchworth questions

Do you cover the whole of Cambridgeshire?

We work UK-wide, and that includes Stetchworth. Prices don’t change with location.

Do you hold any accreditations?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

Can you quote from pictures?

In nearly every case. If photos do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.

How do I book?

Photos of the damage, a picture of the entire bath and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

Do I need to be at home?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Do you work in Stetchworth?

Yes. We cover the whole UK and travel to Stetchworth. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.

When we would advise against a repair

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:

  • A steel bath rusted through
  • Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
  • A whole bath that’s dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.
