Repairing versus replacing in Stonecrouch

Cast iron baths in particular are worth repairing: they’re very heavy to remove, especially upstairs, and a like-for-like replacement can be expensive. Repairing it leaves it where it is. Prices start from £95. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

What you get with us

  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • Most jobs done in one visit

See our prices page or guide to resurfacing and replacement costs.

How it works

Once we are through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes a few hours, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
  2. The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased.
  3. Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
  4. Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
  5. We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, generally the day after.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Clear the area around the damage

10 questions to ask before you book

For landlords and businesses

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit.

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access.

Keeping it looking good

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
  • Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
  • Store metal items away from the bath
  • Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners

Use gentle, non-abrasive cleaners and try not to drop heavy bottles on the repair. Deal with new chips early, before rust can start.

If an acrylic bath has a crack, stop showering in it until it’s repaired. Every use opens the crack a little more, and water can get through to the floor below.

FAQs for Stonecrouch

I tried a repair kit. Can you fix it?

Yes. We remove the old filler and start again. Tell us about it when you send pictures.

What happens next?

We review the pictures and send a fixed quote.

Is a bath repair durable?

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

Can you repair a chip on a coloured bath?

Yes. The colour is mixed on site to suit your bath, including pastel and older colours.

Do you cover the whole of East Sussex?

We work UK-wide, so Stonecrouch is covered. Our prices are the same everywhere.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Of course, and it usually saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.

Can you fix rust around the plughole?

Yes. We remove the rust and loose enamel, seal and fill the area, then colour-match the finish.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

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

Honest limits

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

  • Metal that has corroded all the way through
  • A whole bath that’s dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
  • Cracks in acrylic we cannot reach from underneath

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

Materials we work on in Stonecrouch

What bath repair costs

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

  • The type of damage
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • How many areas need work
  • Unusual colours or finishes

What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Send photos for a quote

Phone photos are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Make sure they show:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A picture taken from further back
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

For a price in Stonecrouch, the easiest route is pictures: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

Repairs by material

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.

Composite and resin

Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour-matched, just like other baths.
