Bath repair near Stibbington

Stibbington: your questions answered

How long does the repair take to cure?

Generally within a day, depending on the repair.

Will the price change on the day?

Your quote covers the damage in the photos. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.

What information do you need?

Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.

Will you leave a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.

Do you work in Stibbington?

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

Is there any odour?

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

What about rust by the waste?

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

Bath repair in Stibbington, done in place

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 snagging damage from a refit and scratches you can feel with a fingernail, we can help, on whirlpool & spa baths, roll-top & freestanding and acrylic alike.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Before and after: a chipped, rust-stained bath around the plughole

When a repair isn’t the answer

We’d rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so these are the limits:

  • Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
  • Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
  • Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

Materials we work on in Stibbington

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

Aftercare tips

So the finish stays in good condition:

  • Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
  • Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
  • Store metal items away from the bath
  • Cover the bath during DIY or decorating

Leave the repair to cure for as long as we say 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. Once water reaches the metal, rust begins, and a rust spot is a bigger repair than a clean chip.

How the visit works

Here’s how a visit normally runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, do the job and tidy away. Plan for a morning or an afternoon. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
  2. The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased.
  3. We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
  4. Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
  5. We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, normally the following day.

How to prepare

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

DIY repairs versus a professional job

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

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.

Should you replace it?

If the rest of the bath is in good condition, a repair is almost always the better choice. It costs less, takes less time and causes far less upheaval, and you keep the bath you chose. If the entire surface is worn, re-enamelling may make more sense, and we will tell you. Prices start from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Why book with us

  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • No extra charge for your area

What your bath is made of matters

Pressed steel

Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.

Composite and resin

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

Do you need bath repair in Stibbington?

Heavy toiletries are the biggest single cause of chips, with dropped shower heads close behind. Fittings cause damage too: water sits around them, and any chip there soon rusts.

Keep an eye out for these signs:

  • Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
  • Chips on the rim or sides
  • A failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting
  • Rust by the waste and overflow

Questions to ask before you book

  • What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
  • What preparation is included
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • Aftercare advice

Our hiring checklist

What bath repair costs

Repairs from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • What kind of damage it is
  • How many areas need work
  • Unusual colours or finishes

Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

Quotes from your photos

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

  • One picture of the whole bath
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

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