Work for landlords and builders

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we’ll arrange it.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

Repair or replace: which is better?

People often assume a cracked or chipped bath has to come out. In most cases it does not: a proper repair gives it years more use, and costs far less than the disruption of a replacement. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before booking, with no extras added later.

Why us?

  • A fixed quote before you book
  • Normally one visit, start to finish
  • Same prices wherever you are
  • Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide

Honest limits

Not everything can be repaired, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:

  • Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
  • Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
  • Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet

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

Materials we work on in Stoke Row

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

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Composite and resin

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

Pressed steel

Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.

DIY kit or professional repair?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

Signs you need bath repair in Stoke Row

Baths take more knocks than people expect: 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.

Send us a photo if you notice any of these:

  • Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
  • A failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting
  • Cracks in an acrylic bath
  • Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted

  • What preparation is included
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers

Our hiring checklist

Your questions about bath repair in Stoke Row

Is a bath repair permanent?

Done properly, a repair lasts for years, and ours come with a one-year guarantee. Gentle cleaning helps.

How long before I can use the bath?

Normally by the following day, though it depends on what we have done.

Can a cracked acrylic bath be fixed?

In most cases. We reinforce the crack from behind, then fill and refinish the front, so we need access under the bath.

Can you repair a chip on a coloured bath?

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

Do you come to Stoke Row?

Yes, we do. Technicians travel to Stoke Row from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Yes, almost always. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.

Can you redo an old repair?

Regularly. We strip it out, deal with any rust and repair it again.

Will the repair show?

On a glossy bath, you’ll struggle to find it. On worn enamel, it can look shinier than the rest.

How the visit works

We turn up when we said we would and checks the damage against your photos first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. Most visits take a morning or an afternoon, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. We protect the bath and the floor around it.
  2. The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased.
  3. Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
  4. Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
  5. We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, usually the day after.

Before we arrive

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Make sure the area is dry

Related advice

Keeping it looking good

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

  • Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
  • Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
  • Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
  • Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners

There’s nothing special to do after a repair, beyond gentle cleaning. Skip bleach and gritty creams and rinse after use.

Until we visit, a strip of waterproof tape over the damage helps, so water cannot get in. Take it off before we arrive.
