All of it is repaired where the bath stands. Whether it’s snagging damage from a refit and chips on the rim or sides, we can usually put it right.

How we price bath repair

Repairs from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Storwood. The price depends on:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Access to the area
  • The colour and finish to match
  • What kind of damage it is

We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Storwood. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Send photos for a quote

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

  • The material, if you know it
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire bath, add your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.

Work for landlords and builders

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

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.

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

Storwood: your questions answered

Can you repair a hole in a bath?

Typically, yes, if we can reach behind it. We back the hole, fill it and refinish the surface.

What about rust by the waste?

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

Do I need to be at home?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.

How long before I can use the bath?

Normally within a day, depending on the repair.

Are you a vetted contractor?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

What areas do you cover?

The whole UK, including all of East Riding of Yorkshire. Just include your postcode and we’ll offer you dates.

Is a bath repair durable?

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

Is there a call-out fee?

No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Repairs by material

Pressed steel

Steel baths are lighter than cast iron, but have a similar enamel surface. Chips rust quickly on steel, especially around the waste, so repair chips early.

Composite and resin

Composite baths are dense and solid, and often freestanding. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour-matched, just like other baths.

When to call us in Storwood

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.

Common reasons people in Storwood contact us are:

  • Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
  • A chipped rim or side
  • Rust by the waste and overflow
  • Chips under the taps

Questions to ask before you book

  • What happens if they find more damage
  • What prep work is covered
  • Aftercare advice
  • Whether the price covers travel

How to compare quotes

The process

We begin by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we are doing. Then the area is sheeted and masked and the work begins. You can expect it to take a few hours, depending on the damage.

  1. We clean the area and remove any loose enamel or rust.
  2. We fill the damage and sand it flush with the surrounding surface.
  3. The colour is mixed on the spot to match your bath.
  4. We build up the finish and polish it into the surrounding enamel.
  5. We leave it to cure; you can usually use the bath the following day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

Advice

Aftercare tips

Nothing complicated is needed:

  • Do not leave a fresh chip for long
  • Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
  • Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
  • Do not leave razors or cans standing in the bath

Give the repair the full curing time we recommend before using the bath. After that, gentle cleaning keeps it looking good.

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.

Honest limits

Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits too:

  • Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
  • Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we cannot get to from below
  • Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.
