Bath repair in Stoborough Heath, done in place

A damaged bath doesn’t have to mean a new bathroom. Our technicians fill, shape and refinish the damage, with the colour mixed on site so the repair is hard to spot. We work on acrylic, roll-top & freestanding and whirlpool & spa baths, and the jobs we see most are a chipped rim or side and rust by the waste and overflow.

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

Repairing versus replacing in Stoborough Heath

Replacing a bath rarely stops at the bath: the tiles sitting on the rim tend to break, a new panel is often needed, and the plumbing has to be disconnected and refitted. A repair skips all of it. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Why book with us

Repairs by material

Pressed steel

Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.

Acrylic

An acrylic bath is a moulded sheet strengthened from below. There is no rust, but cracks, holes and scratches happen, and a crack only stays repaired if it’s supported underneath.

Keeping it looking good

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
  • Put a towel in the bath if you are working above it
  • Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
  • Clean with warm water and a mild detergent

Care for the repair the same way as the bath: a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs. Avoid scourers and gritty cream cleaners.

Small chips are quick to repair. Leave them and they collect dirt, stain and, on metal baths, rust, so early repair saves time and money.

What we are called out for in Stoborough Heath

The usual cause is something heavy dropped into the bath, 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.

You may need us if you’ve spotted:

  • Deep scratches in acrylic
  • A chip where the taps sit
  • Chips caused by builders
  • Chips along the edge of the bath

10 questions to ask before you book

The process

We turn up when we said we would and checks the damage against your photos first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. Most visits take a few hours, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
  2. The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased, and any rust is treated.
  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, generally the day after.

Before we arrive

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

What affects the price in Stoborough Heath

Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from photos. This is what makes a difference:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The material

We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Stoborough Heath. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

How to get a fixed price

You can take the photos on your phone. Make sure they show:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • One picture of the whole bath
  • Something in shot to show the size

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

Honest limits

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
  • Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we can’t get to from below
  • Metal that has corroded all the way through

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before you book.

Materials we work on in Stoborough Heath
