Should I try a DIY kit first?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

How it works

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, and get on with the job, which normally takes two to three hours for most chips. If anything looks different from your pictures, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.

  1. First, we check the damage against your photos and agree the plan.
  2. Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
  3. The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of 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.

Preparing for the visit

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Ask for a price

Email us a picture of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you’re in Stowe, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

Advice

Stowe: your questions answered

Do you cover the entire of Staffordshire?

We cover the whole UK, including Stowe and the rest of Staffordshire. Send your postcode with your pictures and we’ll confirm dates.

Will the price change on the day?

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

Can you price it without visiting?

Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in Stowe.

Will it make a mess?

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

Is a cracked acrylic bath repairable?

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

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

What information do you need?

Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.

Should you replace it?

Cast iron baths in particular are worth repairing: they’re very heavy to remove, especially upstairs, and replacing like for like is not cheap. A repair keeps it in place. Our bath repair starts 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 combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

What you get with us

  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • Everything repaired in place
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • Typically one visit, start to finish

See our pricing or resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.

What affects the price in Stowe

Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • How much damage there is
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Getting a price from photos

When you take your photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • What it’s made of, if you know

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Stowe

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

For anyone letting property in or around Stowe, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send pictures for each one and we will come back with a combined price.

Honest limits

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • Metal that has corroded all the way through
  • A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
  • Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)

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

Materials we repair

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

Common problems we fix in Stowe

Many chips happen while the bathroom is being fitted. Tools, tiles and fittings get dropped into the bath, frequently before anyone notices. We repair snagging damage like this regularly.

You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:

  • A failed DIY repair that is discoloured or lifting
  • Cracks in an acrylic bath
  • Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
  • Chips caused by builders

Questions to ask before you book

  • How changes to the job are handled
  • If travel is included in the price
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included

10 questions to ask before booking

Different materials, different repairs

Acrylic

Acrylic baths are moulded sheet reinforced underneath. There’s no rust, but cracks, holes and scratches happen, and a crack only stays repaired if it’s supported underneath.

Composite and resin

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