Trusted bath repair in Strubby

Work for landlords and builders

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Strubby as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it usually costs far less than a refit.

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

How we handle bath repair in Strubby

A typical bath repair is a few hours’ work, and you can generally bathe again the next day. You will not need a plumber or tiler, because the bath does not move. Whether it’s damage beneath the taps and cracks in an acrylic bath, we can typically put it right, whatever the material.

You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Strubby as everywhere else we work.

Different materials, different repairs

Cast iron

Cast iron is heavy and rigid, with a fused enamel surface. A chip down to the iron can rust, but the body of the bath lasts a very long time, which makes it well worth repairing.

Pressed steel

Steel baths are lighter than cast iron, but have a similar enamel surface. Exposed steel rusts fast, particularly by the plughole, so early repairs matter.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.

What affects the price in Strubby

Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • How many areas need work
  • Access to the area
  • The colour and finish to match

We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Strubby. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Getting a price from photos

Phone pictures are fine. Ensure they show:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Any details about the material
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire bath, we can price the job.

Strubby: your questions answered

Can you repair a hole in a bath?

Frequently, if there’s access underneath. The hole is backed, filled and refinished to match.

How quickly can you book me in?

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

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.

How long does the repair take to cure?

Normally by the following day, though it depends on what we have done.

Can you match an avocado or pink bath?

Yes. The colour is mixed on site to suit your bath, including pastel and older colours.

Is there a call-out fee?

Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.

How invisible is a bath repair?

The goal is a repair that blends in. The rest of the bath’s condition makes a difference, and we will tell you what to expect.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.

What we do, step by step

On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll take it from there. Most visits take a morning or an afternoon.

  1. We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
  2. Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
  3. We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
  4. The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
  5. Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Clear the area around the damage

Ask for a price

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and no obligation.

Advice

What we are called out for in Strubby

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.

These are the problems we’re asked about most:

  • Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
  • Snagging damage from a refit
  • Chips under the taps
  • Impact holes in acrylic

Before you book anyone

  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
  • How your room will be protected
  • How the colour is matched
  • What aftercare is recommended

Our hiring checklist

Why repair rather than replace?

People frequently assume a cracked or chipped bath has to come out. Typically it does not: a repair keeps the bath in service for years, without the cost and upheaval of replacing it. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Why book with us

  • Everything repaired in place
  • No extra charge for your area
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited

See our pricing or bath cost comparison.

How to look after the repair

Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:

  • Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
  • If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
  • Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
  • Have new chips seen to early

Do not leave razors, cans or hair grips in the bath, because they can mark the enamel. A dripping tap should be fixed early, too.

Small chips are quick to repair. Leave them and they collect dirt, stain and, on metal baths, rust, so early repair saves time and money.
