Bath repair in Vange without replacing anything
Most of our bath repairs take a few hours, and the bath is back in use the day after. You will not need a plumber or tiler, because the bath doesn’t move. Our repair technicians work on whirlpool & spa baths, roll-top & freestanding and pressed steel enamel, and people most frequently call us about impact holes in acrylic and chips under the taps.
You’re covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before booking.

DIY kit or professional repair?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
Vange questions
How much does bath repair cost in Vange?
Prices start from £95. We give a fixed price based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your SS16 postcode.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
Is my repair covered?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Will the price change on the day?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Can landlords book you?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
What about rust by the waste?
Yes, it’s one of the most common repairs we do. The rust is cut back to clean metal and sealed before we fill and finish it.
I tried a repair kit. Can you fix it?
Yes, we do this often. We strip it out, deal with any rust and repair it again.
Looking after it afterwards
It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
- Put a towel in the bath if you are working above it
- Store metal items away from the bath
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
Treat the repaired area like the rest of the bath: a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs. Avoid scourers and gritty cream cleaners.
Avoid standing in a cracked acrylic bath until it’s fixed. Each time it flexes, the crack grows, and water can get through to the floor below.
Landlord and trade work in Vange
Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Vange use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it normally costs far less than a refit.
Should you replace it?
Many people think a damaged bath means a new one. In most cases it does not: a repair keeps the bath in service for years, and costs far less than the disruption of a replacement. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing generally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. This is what makes a difference:
- The type of damage

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

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Pressed steel
Pressed steel is thinner and lighter, with an enamel finish like cast iron. Chips rust quickly on steel, particularly by the plughole, so early repairs matter.
Cast iron
Cast iron is heavy and rigid, with a fused enamel surface. Chips can rust if left, but the bath itself lasts for generations, which makes it well worth repairing.
The process
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, do the job and tidy away. Plan for two to three hours for most chips. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and how to care for it.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- We clean, key and degrease the damage.
- Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
- Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
- We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, typically the next day.
Preparing for the visit
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Let us know about parking or access

Advice
What a repair cannot fix
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- Wear across the entire surface, which needs re-enamelling
- A steel bath rusted through
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before you book.
