Bath repair near West Stoke

What your bath is made of matters

Pressed steel

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

Composite and resin

Composite baths are dense and solid, and frequently freestanding. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour matched, in much the same way.

Bath repair in West Stoke, done in place

Whatever has happened to the bath, we aim for the same result: a smooth, solid repair that blends in. We prepare the area properly, fill and shape it, then match the colour and gloss so it’s level with the surrounding surface. We regularly repair cast iron enamel, roll-top & freestanding and pressed steel enamel, and the jobs we see most are rust by the waste and overflow and chips under the taps.

Every job is backed for twelve months in West Stoke and everywhere else. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Questions from West Stoke

Can a cracked acrylic bath be fixed?

In most cases. The back of the crack is strengthened before the front is filled and refinished, so access behind the panel is important.

Does someone need to be in?

We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Can landlords book you?

Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Is the work guaranteed?

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Can pets and children be at home?

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

Can tenants book a repair?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

How much does bath repair cost in West Stoke?

Repairs from £95. Every job gets a fixed quote based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up and a photo of the whole item and your postcode.

What happens next?

You get a fixed quote and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.

Should you replace it?

A repair makes sense whenever the damage is localised. It’s a fraction of the cost of a new bath and fitting, it takes one visit, and the bathroom stays exactly as it is. Our bath repair starts from £95. Every job is a little different, 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.

How we price bath repair

Repairs from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The material and finish
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • What kind of damage it is

A repair typically costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Send pictures for a quote

Before you send photos, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job without visiting.

Keeping it looking good

It’s all simple stuff:

  • Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
  • Have new chips seen to early
  • Check that an acrylic bath does not move when you stand in it
  • Don’t leave razors or cans standing in the bath

Treat the repaired area like the rest of the bath: warm water, washing-up liquid and a soft cloth. Avoid scourers and gritty cream cleaners.

Until we visit, a strip of waterproof tape over the damage helps, so water cannot get in. Remove it before the repair.

The process

Once we are through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes a morning or an afternoon, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
  2. Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
  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. The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.

Preparing for the visit

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated

Getting a price

Send us pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you are in West Stoke, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

Advice

Do you need bath repair in West Stoke?

Glass and heavy bottles cause more chips than anything else. Fittings cause damage too: water sits around them, and any chip there soon rusts.

Look out for these signs:

  • Deep scratches in acrylic
  • Chips on the rim or sides
  • Rusty patches near the plughole
  • Snagging damage from a refit

Questions to ask before you book

  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • How changes to the job are handled
  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match

Our hiring checklist

Landlords, agents and businesses in West Stoke

Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in West Stoke as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it usually costs far less than a refit.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

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