Can I fix it myself?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.

How we handle bath repair in Stockerston

We see every kind of bath damage: chips from dropped bottles, rust round the plughole, cracks in acrylic and holes from falling tools. Each is repaired in place with a one-year guarantee. If you’re dealing with rust by the waste and overflow and cracks in an acrylic bath, we can normally put it right.

Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee in Stockerston and across Rutland.

Repairs by material

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are thick and very strong, with a fused enamel surface. 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.

Composite and resin

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

When to call us in Stockerston

Dropped items cause the majority of chips, and building work is a common culprit. Acrylic baths crack for a different reason: poor support underneath, so the bath flexes when it’s full.

The things customers typically mention when they call are:

  • Impact holes in acrylic
  • Deep scratches in acrylic
  • Cracks in an acrylic bath
  • Chips caused by builders

What affects the price in Stockerston

Repairs from £95. There is no area surcharge for Stockerston. What changes the price is:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How hard the colour is to match

What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.

Quotes from your pictures

Before you send photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Details of any past repairs
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Something in shot to show the size

Send us photos of the damage and one of the entire item, with your LE15 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

When a repair isn’t the answer

A repair is not always the answer, and we would rather say so up front. We can’t fix:

  • A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
  • Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
  • A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.

Materials we work on in Stockerston

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

How to care for the repair

To keep it looking its best for years:

  • Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
  • Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
  • Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
  • If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted

Use gentle, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy items on the repaired area. Deal with new chips early, before rust sets in.

Don’t leave a chip on a steel or cast iron bath. Water gets to the metal and rust starts, and a rust spot is a bigger repair than a clean chip.

Stockerston: your questions answered

How quickly can you book me in?

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

What does bath repair cost?

Repairs from £95. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You will get a fixed figure before booking.

Can you repair a chip on a coloured bath?

Yes, we match coloured baths too. The colour is tinted by hand on the day.

Something went through my bath. Can it be fixed?

Generally. Photos of the hole and the underside help us check.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Will the price change on the day?

The price is fixed for what the pictures show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

What areas do you cover?

The entire UK, including all of Rutland. Send your postcode with your photos and we’ll offer you dates.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

Should you replace it?

A new bath brings a chain of other jobs: the tiles sitting on the rim tend to break, the panel may not fit the new one, and the plumbing has to be disconnected and refitted. A repair skips all of it. Our bath repair starts from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

The process

The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can stay at home while we are there. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes a few hours. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. We protect the bath and the floor around it.
  2. We clean, key and degrease the damage, and any rust is treated.
  3. We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
  4. We match both the colour and the shine.
  5. We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, usually the next day.

How to prepare

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
