Bath repair for Stevington homes

Repairs by material

Composite and resin

Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour-matched, in much the same way.

Pressed steel

Pressed steel is thinner and lighter, with an enamel finish like cast iron. Exposed steel rusts fast, particularly by the plughole, so repair chips early.

About our bath repair in Stevington

Most bath damage, from chips and cracks to rust spots and holes, is repaired in place. Nothing is unplumbed, your tiles stay as they are, and the finish is matched to the rest of the bath. We are frequently asked to fix an old repair that has yellowed or come loose and chips along the edge of the bath, across cast iron enamel, roll-top & freestanding and whirlpool & spa baths.

Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before you book.

Keeping it looking good

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Do not leave razors or cans standing in the bath
  • Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
  • Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
  • Rinse it down after each bath

A repaired bath needs no special treatment, beyond gentle cleaning. Avoid bleach-based and gritty cleaners.

Rust under enamel spreads surprisingly quickly. Left for months, a small chip can grow into a large rust patch, so it pays to deal with it early.

Common problems we fix in Stevington

Rust tends to begin where water collects, around the waste, under the taps or in an old chip. Once water reaches the steel or iron, rust spreads under the enamel.

The things clients usually mention when they call include:

  • Damage beneath the taps
  • Scuffs and scratches in the surface
  • Rust by the waste and overflow
  • Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted

What to look for in a quote

  • How your room will be protected
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • When it can be used again
  • What happens if they find more damage

Landlords, agents and businesses in Stevington

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we’ll arrange it.

Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

The process

Once we are through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes a morning or an afternoon, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  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. We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
  5. Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.

How to prepare

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

How to get a price

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos through our quote form or ring us. We will say right away whether it can be repaired.

Stevington questions

Do you work in Stevington?

Yes. We cover the entire UK and come to Stevington. Send pictures and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Will it make a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.

I tried a repair kit. Can you fix it?

Yes. We remove the old filler and start again. Tell us about it when you send photos.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just ensure the landlord agrees.

Is there any odour?

There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.

Will the price change on the day?

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

What does bath repair cost?

Repairs from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

How quickly can you book me in?

That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.

Honest limits

We’d rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:

  • Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
  • Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
  • Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet

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

Materials we work on in Stevington

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

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • The material and finish

A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.

Send photos for a quote

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A picture taken from further back
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. There is no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
