Bath repair at your home in Stewkley

Whether your bath is steel, cast iron or acrylic, we can repair it. Each material is repaired a little differently: rust is treated on metal baths, while cracks in acrylic are reinforced from underneath. Whether it’s cracks in an acrylic bath and impact holes in acrylic, we can generally put it right, on acrylic, whirlpool & spa baths and pressed steel enamel alike.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there’s a problem and we’ll sort it.

Rusty chip next to a bath plughole, before and after repair

Different materials, different repairs

Composite and resin

Composite baths are dense and solid, and often freestanding. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, just like other baths.

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are thick and very strong, finished with fired enamel. A chip down to the iron can rust, but the body of the bath lasts a very long time, so it’s always worth repairing.

How to look after the repair

Aftercare is simple:

  • Check that an acrylic bath does not move when you stand in it
  • Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
  • Rinse it down after each bath
  • Don’t scrub with anything abrasive

A repaired bath needs no special treatment. Avoid bleach-based and gritty cleaners and give it a rinse after each bath.

If an acrylic bath has a crack, stop showering in it until it’s repaired. Every use opens the crack a little more, and it can start to leak underneath.

Why repair rather than replace?

When the bath is otherwise sound, repairing beats replacing. It’s quicker, cheaper and far less disruptive, and you keep the bath you chose. Where the entire surface is tired, we may suggest re-enamelling instead. Prices start from £95. A repair usually costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.

Why us?

  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • Everything repaired in place
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • We leave the room as we found it

DIY repairs versus a professional job

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.

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 isn’t prepared the repair will not last.

When to call us in Stewkley

Damage during fitting is very common. Tradespeople drop tools and tiles into the bath, and the damage is not always spotted until later. Snagging repairs like these are a regular job for us.

Get in touch if you’ve noticed any of these:

  • An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
  • Cracks in an acrylic bath
  • Scuffs and scratches in the surface
  • A chipped rim or side

What your quote should include

  • How to care for the finish
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • How changes to the job are handled
  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included

10 questions to ask before you book

What happens on the day

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you know when to expect us. Once we are there, the work takes a few hours. We leave the room clean and ready to use once it has cured.

  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. The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of 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.

How to prepare

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Open a window if you can
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

Advice

When we would advise against a repair

A repair is not right for every job, including:

  • A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
  • Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
  • A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense

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

Questions from Stewkley

Can you repair a chip on a coloured bath?

Yes. We mix the colour on the day to match, including older coloured suites.

Can you repair several things at once?

Of course, and it usually saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and we’ll quote them together.

How quickly can you book me in?

Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Are you a vetted contractor?

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

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.

Is a bath repair durable?

Done properly, a repair lasts for years, and it’s guaranteed for a year. Gentle cleaning helps it last.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We will tell you when the room can be used again.

Can you repair a hole in a bath?

In most cases. Photos of the hole and the underside help us check.

For landlords and businesses

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Stewkley as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
