Repairs by material

Pressed steel

Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

Should you replace it?

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. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

How the visit works

On the day, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take a few hours. We clean up when we’re done and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. We protect the bath and the floor around it.
  2. We clean, key and degrease the damage.
  3. Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
  4. We match both the colour and the shine.
  5. We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the following day.

Before we arrive

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

How to get a price

You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

For landlords and businesses

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Somerset and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

When we’d advise against a repair

It helps to know what we can’t do too:

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

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

Materials we work on in Stoke St Gregory

FAQs for Stoke St Gregory

Can you repair a crack in an acrylic bath?

Typically, yes, as long as we can get to the back of the crack to support it. Check under the bath panel, or send us a photo.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Are there extra charges for Stoke St Gregory?

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

What do you need from me?

Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.

Is a holed acrylic bath repairable?

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

Will you leave a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.

Will the repair last?

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

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, 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 is not prepared the repair will not last.

How we price bath repair

Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • How much damage there is
  • The material
  • Whether we combine several jobs

A repair normally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

How to get a fixed quote

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

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos using our quote form or call us. We will say right away if a repair is the right fix.

Common problems we fix in Stoke St Gregory

Rust typically starts where water sits, by the plughole, beneath dripping taps or in an unrepaired chip. Once water reaches the steel or iron, rust spreads under the enamel.

People usually call us after spotting something like this:

  • Chips along the edge of the bath
  • Snagging damage from a refit
  • Holes from dropped items
  • Rust by the waste and overflow

Comparing quotes

  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • How the room is protected while they work
  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
  • Who turns up on the day
