Bath repair for Stonebroom homes

Bath repair in Stonebroom without replacing anything

We repair enamelled steel, cast iron and acrylic baths. The method changes with the material: metal baths need any rust dealt with first, and acrylic cracks need support from behind. We regularly repair whirlpool & spa baths, pressed steel enamel and acrylic, and the jobs we see most are deep scratches in acrylic and a hole punched through by something heavy.

You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Stonebroom as everywhere else we work.

What we are called out for in Stonebroom

Baths take more knocks than people expect: everyday items get dropped into it all the time, and taps and wastes are tightened against the surface. Sooner or later, most baths pick up a chip.

The things customers usually mention when they call include:

  • Impact holes in acrylic
  • Deep scratches in acrylic
  • Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
  • A chipped rim or side

Questions to ask before you book

  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • Who will actually do the work
  • How to care for the finish

10 questions to ask before booking

Stonebroom questions

How invisible is a bath repair?

On a glossy bath, you’ll struggle to find it. On older, dull enamel the repair can look glossier than the area around it.

Is a bath repair permanent?

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

Are you accredited?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

Will there be a smell?

Expect a mild smell while we’re working, which fades afterwards.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Generally, yes. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.

Can you quote from photos?

Nearly always. If pictures don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

Will it make a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Stonebroom

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

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

How we price bath repair

Prices start from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Access to the area

A repair generally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.

Quotes from your pictures

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

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A wider photo showing the entire bath

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos through our quote form or ring us. We’ll say straight away if a repair is the right fix.

What we do, step by step

The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can stay at home while we are there. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes a few hours. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. We start by cleaning the damage and taking out loose enamel and rust.
  2. Next we fill the damage and sand it smooth and level.
  3. The colour is mixed on the spot to match your bath.
  4. Finish coats go on, then the repair is polished to blend in.
  5. We leave it to cure; you can normally use the bath the day after.

Before we arrive

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

Getting a price

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. There is no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

When a repair is not the answer

To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:

  • Metal that has corroded all the way through
  • Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
  • Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

Materials we work on in Stonebroom

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

Repairs by material

Acrylic

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

Pressed steel

Steel baths are lighter than cast iron, but have a similar enamel surface. Exposed steel rusts fast, especially around the waste, so early repairs matter.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Swapping a damaged bath for a new one usually means a plumber, removing the old bath, re-tiling and a new panel and disposing of the old one. Repairing it fixes just the damaged area in one visit. Prices start from £95. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
