How we handle bath repair in Sturton le Steeple

Repairing baths is what we do most. Chips on the rim, rust around the waste and cracks in acrylic are all fixed without removing the bath, normally in one visit. Common call-outs are for a chip where the taps sit and a hole punched through by something heavy, on pressed steel enamel, whirlpool & spa baths and cast iron enamel.

Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

What we are called out for in Sturton le Steeple

Acrylic baths that crack nearly always have a support problem. Legs that are not adjusted, a missing cradle or a soft floor let the bath move.

Send us a photo if you notice any of these:

  • A hole punched through by something heavy
  • Chips on the rim or sides
  • Rusty patches near the plughole
  • Scuffs and scratches in the surface

What to look for in a quote

  • If travel is included in the price
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers

Our hiring checklist

Aftercare tips

How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
  • If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
  • Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
  • Keep metal cans and razors off the surface

Treat the repaired area like the rest of the bath: warm water, washing-up liquid and a soft cloth. Keep scouring pads and gritty cleaners away from it.

A small chip is a quick job. Left alone, they stain and can rust, so it’s worth getting them done early.

The process

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and clear up. Allow two to three hours for most chips. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and how to care for it.

  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. The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of 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.

Before we arrive

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Getting a price

There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

What we can’t put right

A repair is not right for every job, including:

  • A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
  • Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
  • A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We take into account:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The colour and finish to match

How to get a fixed price

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

Repairs by material

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are thick and very strong, with a fused enamel surface. A chip down to the iron can rust, but the bath itself lasts for generations, which makes it well worth repairing.

Pressed steel

Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
