Looking after it afterwards

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:

  • Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
  • Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
  • Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
  • Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners

Leave the repair to cure for as long as we say before running a bath. From then on, mild cleaning is all it needs.

Small chips are quick to repair. Left alone, they stain and can rust, so it’s worth getting them done early.

Bath repair in Stony Stratford, done in place

Whatever the damage, the aim is the same: a repair that’s smooth, sound and hard to spot. We prepare the area properly, fill and shape it, then match the colour and gloss so it sits flush with the rest of the bath. Our technicians work on acrylic, whirlpool & spa baths and roll-top & freestanding, and people most frequently call us about holes from dropped items and chips caused by builders.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard.

What we’re called out for in Stony Stratford

Rust tends to begin where water collects, around the waste, under the taps or in an old chip. Water on bare metal causes rust that creeps under the surrounding enamel.

Signs it’s time to call us include:

  • Holes from dropped items
  • Rust spots around the plughole
  • A chip where the taps sit
  • A cracked acrylic bath

When we’d advise against a repair

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
  • Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
  • Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath

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

Materials we repair

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

Different materials, different repairs

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

Pressed steel

Pressed steel is thinner and lighter, with an enamel finish like cast iron. Chips rust quickly on steel, particularly by the plughole, so repair chips early.

What we do, step by step

Here’s how a visit usually runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and clear up. Plan for a few hours from start to finish. Before we go, we will explain when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. We protect the bath and the floor around it.
  2. The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased, and any rust is treated.
  3. Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
  4. Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
  5. We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the day after.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • The type of damage
  • The material
  • How hard the colour is to match

Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Stony Stratford. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Getting a price from photos

Two or three clear pictures are generally enough. Try to include:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A picture taken from further back
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Natural light rather than flash

You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

Questions from Stony Stratford

How soon can you come?

We will give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Will there be a smell?

There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Typically, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

What happens if you find more damage?

If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.

Can a cracked acrylic bath be fixed?

Normally, yes, if we can reach the underside to reinforce it. Check under the bath panel, or send us a picture.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

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

How do I book?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

Repair or replace in Stony Stratford?

For damage in one or two places, a repair is the obvious choice. It costs far less than a new bath plus fitting, it takes one visit, and nothing else in the room changes. Prices start from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You will see the full price before you book, with no extras added later.

Why us?

  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • No extra charge for your area
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do

See our pricing or bath cost comparison.

Can I fix it myself?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
