Bath repair in Stoke St Michael, done in place

We see every kind of bath damage: dropped-bottle chips, plughole rust, acrylic cracks and impact holes. Each is repaired in place. We’re frequently asked to fix rust by the waste and overflow and chips caused by builders, across pressed steel enamel, acrylic and whirlpool & spa baths.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your pictures. The main factors are:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • The colour and finish to match

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Quotes from your pictures

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • One picture of the entire bath
  • Details of any past repairs
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

What your bath is made of matters

Pressed steel

Pressed steel is thinner and lighter, with an enamel finish like cast iron. Chips rust quickly on steel, especially around the waste, so early repairs matter.

Cast iron

Cast iron is heavy and rigid, with a fused enamel surface. Chips can rust if left, but the bath itself lasts for generations, which makes it well worth repairing.

How the visit works

Arrival times are agreed in advance. On site, it takes a few hours, depending on the damage in most cases. The room is left tidy and you’ll know when it can be used.

  1. Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
  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.

Before we arrive

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Getting a price

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire bath, we can price the job the same day in most cases.

Common questions in Stoke St Michael

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

We look at the photos and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.

Something went through my bath. Can it be fixed?

Typically. Send us a picture of the hole and one from under the bath if you can.

Will the repair last?

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

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

Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before and we will plan for it.

Do you cover Stoke St Michael?

We do. Repair technicians travel to Stoke St Michael from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Do I have to be there?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.

Can you price it without visiting?

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

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.

How to look after the repair

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:

  • Ensure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
  • Have new chips seen to early
  • Give the bath a quick rinse after use
  • Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby

Care for the repair the same way as the bath: warm water, washing-up liquid and a soft cloth. Avoid scourers and gritty cream cleaners.

Small chips are quick to repair. Left alone, they stain and can rust, so early repair saves time and money.

For landlords and businesses

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip.

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

What a repair cannot fix

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
  • A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
  • Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

Materials we work on in Stoke St Michael

  • Pressed steel enamel
  • Acrylic
  • Whirlpool & spa baths

What we’re called out for in Stoke St Michael

Nearly all the chips we see start with something being dropped: bottles, shower heads, tiles and tools. On steel and cast iron baths, any chip down to the metal will start to rust.

These are the problems we are asked about most:

  • A chipped rim or side
  • Rusty patches near the plughole
  • Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
  • Chips under the taps

Our hiring checklist

Repair or replace: which is better?

A new bath costs more than the bath itself: taking out the old one, plumbing, tiling, a panel and redecorating. A repair is one job, done in one visit. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

What you get with us

  • One visit for most repairs
  • Repair technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • One price list for the whole UK
