DIY repairs versus a professional job

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. 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.

Bath repair in Stoke Trister, done in place

A typical bath repair is a few hours’ work, and the bath is back in use the following day. There’s no need to book a plumber or tiler, because nothing is disconnected. Typical jobs include an old repair that has yellowed or come loose and snagging damage from a refit, in acrylic, cast iron enamel and whirlpool & spa baths.

Every job is backed for twelve months in Stoke Trister and everywhere else. We return to put right any problem with the work.

  • The material and finish
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • What kind of damage it is

We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Stoke Trister. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

How to get a fixed price

Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Please include:

  • The material, if you know it
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

Your questions about bath repair in Stoke Trister

Are there extra charges for Stoke Trister?

We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.

How do I book?

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

Can you repair a chip on a coloured bath?

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

How much does bath repair cost in Stoke Trister?

Prices start from £95. We give a fixed quote from your pictures. Send a close-up and a picture of the whole item with your BA9 postcode.

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. Take off the bath panel and check, or send us a picture.

Is a bath repair durable?

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

Is my repair covered?

Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Do I need to be at home?

We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.

Work for landlords and builders

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Stoke Trister as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

How to care for the repair

A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:

  • Rinse it down after each bath
  • A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
  • Don’t scrub with anything abrasive
  • Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth

In the first few days, avoid putting weight or bottles on the repair. After that, normal gentle cleaning is fine.

If water is getting through a crack, stop using the bath. Leaks under a bath can damage floors and ceilings.

When to call us in Stoke Trister

Acrylic baths that crack nearly always have a support problem. Legs that are not adjusted, a missing cradle or a soft floor let the bath move until the acrylic gives way.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

  • Rust spots around the plughole
  • A chipped rim or side
  • Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
  • Chips under the taps

What to look for in a quote

  • How to look after the finish
  • How long it needs to cure
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match

Our hiring checklist

What your bath is made of matters

Composite and resin

Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, in much the same way.

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.

How it works

Here’s how a visit generally runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and tidy away. Allow a few hours, depending on the damage from start to finish. Before we go, we’ll explain when it can be used and how to care for it.

  1. First, we check the damage against your pictures and agree the plan.
  2. Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
  3. The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
  4. The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
  5. The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.

Preparing for the visit

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

What we cannot put right

We would rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:

  • A whole bath that’s dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
  • Cracks in acrylic we can’t reach from underneath
  • Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath

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