Bath repair for Stradsett homes

Bath repair in Stradsett without replacing anything

Most bath damage, from chips and cracks to rust spots and holes, can be repaired with the bath left exactly where it is. Nothing is unplumbed, your tiles stay as they are, and the finish is matched to the rest of the bath. Common call-outs are for snagging damage from a refit and rust by the waste and overflow, on acrylic, pressed steel enamel and cast iron enamel.

Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

When we would advise against a repair

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

  • A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
  • Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
  • Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we cannot get to from below

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

Materials we repair

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

Keeping it looking good

A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:

  • Rinse it down after each bath
  • Don’t leave razors or cans standing in the bath
  • Ensure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
  • A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early

Use gentle, non-abrasive cleaners and try not to drop heavy bottles on the repair. Deal with new chips early, before rust can start.

Do not leave a chip on a steel or cast iron bath. Water gets to the metal and rust starts, turning a quick repair into a bigger one.

For landlords and businesses

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

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.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Stradsett. What changes the price is:

  • The material and finish
  • Access to the area
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How hard the colour is to match

The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book, with no extras added later.

How to get a fixed quote

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Please include:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • One picture of the whole bath
  • What it’s made of, if you know

We price from photos so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.

How the visit works

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you’re not left guessing. On site, it takes a few hours, depending on the damage for most jobs. The room is left tidy.

  1. We protect the bath and the floor around it.
  2. The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased.
  3. Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
  4. Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
  5. We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, usually the following day.

How to prepare

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

Get a quote

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole bath, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

What your bath is made of matters

Acrylic

An acrylic bath is a moulded sheet strengthened from below. They do not rust, but they can crack, scratch or be holed, and a crack only stays repaired if it’s supported underneath.

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that’s the part we put right.

Your questions about bath repair in Stradsett

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.

What areas do you cover?

We work UK-wide. Our prices are the same everywhere.

Is a bath repair permanent?

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

What do you need from me?

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

Will I be able to see the repair?

The goal is a repair that blends in. How well it disappears depends on the condition of the rest of the bath, and we’ll tell you what to expect.

Can tenants book a repair?

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

What about rust by the waste?

Yes, very often. The rust is cut back to clean metal and sealed before we fill and finish it.

Can a cracked acrylic bath be fixed?

Often, yes, as long as we can get to the back of the crack to support it. Check under the bath panel, or send us a picture.

Repair or replace: which is better?

If the rest of the bath is in good condition, a repair is almost always the better choice. It costs less, takes less time and causes far less upheaval, and the bathroom stays as it is. Where the whole surface is tired, we may suggest re-enamelling instead. Our bath repair starts from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Stradsett. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

  • Rust spots around the plughole
