For landlords and businesses
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Bath repair in West Stourmouth, done in place
Small damage on a bath is worth repairing early. Exposed metal on enamelled baths soon rusts, while cracks in acrylic grow each time the bath moves. Repairing it stops the damage getting worse. Typical jobs include impact holes in acrylic and rusty patches near the plughole, on roll-top & freestanding, whirlpool & spa baths and cast iron enamel.
You’re covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before you book.

Repairs by material
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

Repairing versus replacing in West Stourmouth

Prices start from £95. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

What else we do in West Stourmouth
When we’d advise against a repair
We’d rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
- A whole bath that is dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before booking.
Surfaces we repair
- Pressed steel enamel
- Cast iron enamel
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Roll-top & freestanding

What affects the price in West Stourmouth
Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including West Stourmouth. The price reflects:

Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

Common problems we fix in West Stourmouth
Acrylic baths that crack nearly always have a support problem. Legs that aren’t adjusted, a missing cradle or a soft floor let the bath move until the acrylic gives way.
If you can see any of these, send us a photo:
- An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
- Scuffs and scratches in the surface
- Rust by the waste and overflow

How to care for the repair
To keep it looking its best for years:
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
- Do not leave razors or cans standing in the bath
- Put a towel in the bath if you’re working above it
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
Leave the repair to cure for as long as we say before using the bath. After that, gentle cleaning keeps it looking good.
Tape over a fresh chip or crack until it’s repaired, so water cannot get in. Remove it before the repair.
West Stourmouth: your questions answered
How long does the repair take to cure?
Most baths can be used the following day. We confirm the time before we leave.
Is there any odour?
There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
What happens if you find more damage?
If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
You get a fixed quote and available dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.
Do you do work for letting agents?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.
What happens on the day
The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can carry on at home. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes a few hours, depending on the damage. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to look after it.
- First, we check the damage against your pictures and agree the plan.
- Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
- The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
- The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
- Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.
Before we arrive
- Clear the area around the damage
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Have a window or extractor fan available
