How to look after the repair

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

  • Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
  • Do not scrub with anything abrasive
  • Rinse it down after each bath
  • Put a towel in the bath if you are working above it

In the first few days, avoid putting weight or bottles on the repair. After that, clean it as you would the rest of the bath, avoiding abrasives.

Tape over a fresh chip or crack until it’s repaired, so water cannot get in. Remove it before the repair.

Bath repair in Stow-on-the-Wold, done in place

We repair just the damaged spot and colour-match it to the bath, which costs far less than replacing a fitted bath and the tiles around it. Most baths can be used again the following day. We are frequently asked to fix chips under the taps and chips caused by builders, in acrylic, pressed steel enamel and roll-top & freestanding.

You’re covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Your questions about bath repair in Stow-on-the-Wold

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.

How much does bath repair cost in Stow-on-the-Wold?

Prices start from £95. We give a fixed quote based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up and a picture of the whole item with your GL54 postcode.

Will the repair last?

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

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

When can you do it?

Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.

What do you need from me?

Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787.

Is it messy?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.

Will there be a smell?

Expect a mild smell while we’re working that clears as it cures.

How we price bath repair

Prices start from £95. We price every job individually, from your photos. What matters most is:

  • The type of damage
  • The colour and finish to match
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • How many items we do on one visit

Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Send photos for a quote

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

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • A photo taken from further back
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

Most clients in Stow-on-the-Wold get their price from photos. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

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, a professional repair is worth it.

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

For landlords and businesses

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

When we would advise against a repair

Some jobs are not right for a repair, for example:

  • A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
  • A whole bath that is dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
  • Leaking fittings, which need a plumber

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

Materials we work on in Stow-on-the-Wold

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

How it works

Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so you know exactly what we are doing. After that, protection goes down around the work area and the work begins. Allow a few hours, depending on the damage, and we’ll keep you posted as we go.

  1. First, we check the damage against your pictures and agree the plan.
  2. Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
  3. We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
  4. We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
  5. Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.

How to prepare

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

Getting a price

There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

What we’re called out for in Stow-on-the-Wold

Rust tends to begin where water collects, by the plughole, beneath dripping taps or in an unrepaired chip. Water on bare metal causes rust that creeps under the surrounding enamel.

  • Scratches you can feel with a fingernail

10 questions to ask before you book

Different materials, different repairs

Pressed steel

Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.

Acrylic

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