Bath repair at your home in Stonebridge

A damaged bath doesn’t have to mean a new bathroom. We fill the damage, shape it to the curve of the bath and refinish it, mixing the colour on the day so the repair is hard to spot. Whether it’s chips on the rim or sides and a hole punched through by something heavy, we can typically put it right.

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

What a repair cannot fix

Some jobs are not right for a repair, for example:

  • Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
  • Metal that has corroded all the way through
  • A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.

Materials we repair

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

How to care for the repair

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:

  • Rinse it down after each bath
  • Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
  • Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
  • Don’t scrub with anything abrasive

Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy items on the repaired area. Get any new chip seen to quickly, before rust sets in.

Tape over a fresh chip or crack until it’s repaired, so water cannot get in. Remove it before the repair.

Repair or replace: which is better?

For damage in one or two places, a repair is the obvious choice. It costs far less than a new bath plus fitting, it’s done in one visit, and nothing else in the room changes. Prices start from £95. A repair usually costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Why us?

  • Generally one visit, start to finish
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year

  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor

How it works

There is not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we will get on with it. The job generally runs to a few hours, depending on the damage, including clearing up.

  1. First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
  2. The chip or crack is filled, then sanded level with the bath.
  3. We tint the finish on the day to suit your bath’s shade of white or colour.
  4. Finish coats go on, then the repair is polished to blend in.
  5. Once it has cured, typically by the following day, the bath is ready to use.

How to prepare

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

DIY kit or professional repair?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.

Prices and what affects them

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

  • How many areas need work
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Getting a price from photos

The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A picture taken from further back
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.

Repairs by material

Pressed steel

Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.

Composite and resin

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