DIY kit or professional repair?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Honest limits

A repair isn’t right for every job, for example:

  • An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
  • A cast iron or steel bath that is cracked right through
  • Steel that has corroded right through

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

Materials we repair

  • Cast iron baths
  • Acrylic baths
  • Pressed steel baths
  • Victorian roll-tops
  • Basins & shower trays

Halfway Houses: your questions answered

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Generally, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Most of the time. Let us know what was used before and we will plan for it.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

Is there a call-out fee?

Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Can pets and children be at home?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

Are you a vetted contractor?

We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

Does the bath have to be removed?

Not at all. Everything is done in your bathroom, with the room masked and ventilated.

What information do you need?

Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.

What we do, step by step

Your technician turns up when we said we would and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. Most visits take the best part of a day, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
  2. Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
  3. The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
  4. Primer and finish coats are applied.
  5. The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

Advice

Keeping it looking good

To keep it looking its best:

  • A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
  • Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
  • Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
  • Do not leave a chip unrepaired

The first few days matter most: let it cure fully, then use mild cleaners only. After that, no abrasives and no suction mats.

The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and any rust spreads underneath. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.

For landlords and businesses

Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

What affects the price in Halfway Houses

Resurfacing from £350. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • How many items we do on one visit

There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

How to get a fixed price

You can normally get a fixed quote without us visiting. To make it quick:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • A wider photo showing the whole bath
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Where you are, by postcode

For a price in Halfway Houses, the easiest route is photos: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Cast iron

A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that’s the part we put right.

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
