Bath repair for Stoke Lane homes

Common problems we fix in Stoke Lane

A bath gets knocked about more than you’d think: bottles, shower heads and razors are dropped every day, and taps and wastes are tightened against the surface. Over time, chips and rust spots are almost inevitable.

Most people get in touch after spotting one of these:

  • Chips under the taps
  • Chips on the rim or sides
  • Rust spots around the plughole
  • Chips caused by builders

What your quote should include

  • What preparation is included
  • How long it needs to cure
  • Who turns up on the day
  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included

Should I try a DIY kit first?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, 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 won’t last.

What a repair cannot fix

We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair will not do:

  • A steel bath rusted through
  • Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
  • A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed

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

Materials we repair

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

Stoke Lane: your questions answered

How long before I can use the bath?

Usually within a day, though it depends on what we’ve done.

Is a bath repair durable?

It should, as long as the bath is firm and the area was prepared well. It’s covered by our one-year guarantee.

Do you cover Stoke Lane?

Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Stoke Lane. Send photos and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Can pets and children be at home?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Yes, we often do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

Can you price it without visiting?

Usually, yes. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.

Repairs by material

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that is what we repair.

Composite and resin

Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour matched, just like other baths.

Repair or replace in Stoke Lane?

Cast iron baths especially are worth keeping: they’re very heavy to remove, especially upstairs, and a like-for-like replacement can be expensive. Repairing it leaves it where it is. Prices start from £95. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book, with no extras added later.

Why us?

  • Generally one visit, start to finish
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • A fixed quote before you book

How we price bath repair

Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:

  • The material and finish
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • How much damage there is
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Getting a price from photos

Two or three clear pictures are typically enough. It helps if you send:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • One picture of the whole bath
  • Something in shot to show the size

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, add your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.

Keeping it looking good

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
  • Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
  • Don’t leave razors or cans standing in the bath
  • Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale

There is nothing special to do after a repair. Skip bleach and gritty creams.

Avoid standing in a cracked acrylic bath until it’s fixed. Every use opens the crack a little more, and water can get through to the floor below.

How it works

Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so you know exactly what we are doing. Then the area is sheeted and masked and we start. It normally takes a morning or an afternoon.

  1. We clean the area and remove any loose enamel or rust.
  2. Next we fill the damage and sand it smooth and level.
  3. We mix the colour on the day to match your bath’s exact shade.
  4. We build up the finish and polish it into the surrounding enamel.
  5. The repair is left to cure, and most baths can be used the day after.

How to prepare

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

How to get a price

Email us photos of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your HR7 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
