Bath repair in Stoke Lyne

Bath repair in Stoke Lyne without replacing anything

We repair enamelled steel, cast iron and acrylic baths. Each material is repaired a little differently: rust is treated on metal baths, while cracks in acrylic are reinforced from underneath. Whether it’s damage done while the bathroom was being fitted and damage beneath the taps, we can usually put it right.

Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

Why repair rather than replace?

Think about the hidden costs of a new bath: taking out the old one, plumbing, tiling, a panel and redecorating. With a repair, it’s one visit and one price. Our bath repair starts from £95. We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • Same prices wherever you are

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.

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

What we do, step by step

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a few hours, depending on the damage. If anything looks different from your photos, we will talk to you before going ahead.

  1. First, we check the damage against your photos and agree the plan.
  2. Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
  3. We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
  4. The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
  5. Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.

How to prepare

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Let us know about parking or access

What we can’t put right

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

  • Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
  • A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
  • Metal that has corroded all the way through

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

What we work on

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

Aftercare tips

So the finish stays in good condition:

  • Rinse it down after each bath
  • Have new chips seen to early
  • Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
  • Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale

Don’t leave razors, cans or hair grips in the bath, as they can leave rust marks. A dripping tap should be fixed early, too.

Rust under enamel spreads surprisingly quickly. Left for months, a small chip can grow into a large rust patch, so early repair keeps the cost down.

Stoke Lyne questions

Do you cover Stoke Lyne?

Yes. We cover the entire UK and travel to Stoke Lyne. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

What areas do you cover?

We work UK-wide, and that includes Stoke Lyne. Our prices are the same everywhere.

Is there a call-out fee?

No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Can pets and children be at home?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.

Will the repair last?

Yes, if it’s prepared properly and the bath is sound. It carries our one-year guarantee.

Can you price it without visiting?

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

Can tenants book a repair?

We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just make sure the landlord agrees.

Is a holed acrylic bath repairable?

Generally, yes, if we can reach behind it. We back the hole, fill it and refinish the surface.

Repairs by material

Pressed steel

Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are thick and very strong, with a fused enamel surface. Chips can rust if left, but the bath itself lasts for generations, so it’s always worth repairing.

Signs you need bath repair in Stoke Lyne

A cracked acrylic bath usually wasn’t supported properly. Legs that are not adjusted, a missing cradle or a soft floor let the bath move until the acrylic gives way.

The things customers normally mention when they call include:

  • An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
  • Rust by the waste and overflow

  • Damage beneath the taps

What your quote should include

  • Whether the price covers travel
  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
  • Who turns up on the day
