How we handle bath repair in Stoneyhills

Most of our bath repairs take a few hours, and the bath is back in use the day after. There is no need to book a plumber or tiler, because nothing is disconnected. We work on cast iron enamel, pressed steel enamel and acrylic, and common reasons people get in touch are impact holes in acrylic and hairline or through cracks in acrylic.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there’s a problem and we’ll come back.

Your questions about bath repair in Stoneyhills

Can you repair a failed DIY repair?

Yes. We remove the old filler and start again. Mention it when you send pictures.

What do you need from me?

Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we’ll do the rest.

Is the work guaranteed?

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

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.

Is it messy?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.

Will the price change on the day?

Your quote covers the damage in the photos. If there is more, we will tell you before starting.

Are there extra charges for Stoneyhills?

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

Repairing versus replacing in Stoneyhills

A repair makes sense whenever the damage is localised. It costs far less than a new bath plus fitting, it takes one visit, and the bathroom stays exactly as it is. Prices start from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Why us?

  • No extra charge for your area
  • Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • No need to remove anything
  • One-year guarantee on every repair

Do you need bath repair in Stoneyhills?

Acrylic baths that crack nearly always have a support problem. Legs that aren’t adjusted, a missing cradle or a soft floor let the bath move until it cracks.

These are the problems we’re asked about most:

  • A kit repair that didn’t last
  • A hole punched through by something heavy
  • Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
  • Damage beneath the taps

Questions to ask before you book

  • If travel is included in the price
  • How long it needs to cure
  • How the room is protected while they work
  • How the colour is matched

Choosing a repair company

Aftercare tips

It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:

  • Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
  • Have new chips seen to early
  • Do not leave razors or cans standing in the bath
  • Get a dripping tap fixed promptly

There’s nothing special to do after a repair, beyond gentle cleaning. Avoid bleach-based and gritty cleaners.

A chip on a metal bath shouldn’t be left. Once water reaches the metal, rust begins, turning a quick repair into a bigger one.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.

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

When a repair is not the answer

We’d rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:

  • A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
  • Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
  • A steel bath rusted through

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

Surfaces we repair

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

The process

We work cleanly and quietly, so you can carry on at home. We protect the area first, then the work takes a morning or an afternoon. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. We start by cleaning the damage and taking out loose enamel and rust.
  2. We fill the damage and sand it flush with the surrounding surface.
  3. We mix the colour on the day to match your bath’s exact shade.
  4. We build up the finish and polish it into the surrounding enamel.
  5. Once it has cured, normally by the next day, the bath is ready to use.

Before we arrive

  • Open a window if you can
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Work for landlords and builders

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
