Bath repair for Stoneyford homes

Bath repair in Stoneyford without replacing anything

It pays to repair bath damage while it’s small. Exposed metal on enamelled baths soon rusts, while cracks in acrylic grow each time the bath moves. A repair stops both. Whether it’s a chip where the taps sit and rust spots around the plughole, we can normally put it right, on acrylic, pressed steel enamel and roll-top & freestanding alike.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re not left on your own once we’ve gone.

How to look after the repair

How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
  • Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
  • Put a towel in the bath if you are working above it
  • Do not leave razors or cans standing in the bath

For the first few days, keep heavy bottles off the repaired spot. After that, normal gentle cleaning is fine, avoiding abrasives.

Do not leave a chip on a steel or cast iron bath. Once water reaches the metal, rust begins, and a rust spot is a bigger repair than a clean chip.

For landlords and businesses

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, photos and access details and we will arrange it.

What we do, step by step

The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can stay at home while we’re there. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a morning or an afternoon. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
  2. Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
  3. We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
  4. The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
  5. Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.

Before we arrive

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Open a window if you can
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

What we’re called out for in Stoneyford

A bath gets knocked about more than you’d think: bottles, shower heads and razors are dropped every day, and taps and wastes are tightened against the surface. Sooner or later, most baths pick up a chip.

The most common problems we’re called about are:

  • Rust by the waste and overflow
  • A failed DIY repair that is discoloured or lifting
  • Scuffs and scratches in the surface
  • A chipped rim or side

Questions to ask before you book

  • If travel is included in the price
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • Who will actually do the work
  • How soon you can use it again

Our hiring checklist

Different materials, different repairs

Composite and resin

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

Cast iron

A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that is the part we put right.

What affects the price in Stoneyford

Repairs from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Stoneyford. The price comes down to:

  • The material and finish
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • The size and number of damaged areas

The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.

How to get a fixed price

Two or three clear photos are usually enough. It helps if you send:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • One picture of the whole bath
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

If you’re in Stoneyford and want a price, 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.

Can I fix it myself?

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.

Repairing versus replacing in Stoneyford

Replacing a fitted bath normally involves 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. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing generally costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

What you get with us

  • One price list for the whole UK
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
