Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £350. There is no area surcharge for Hesters Way. What changes the price is:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • The colour and finish to match
  • How many areas need work

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 make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

How to get a fixed quote

We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what to send:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A picture taken from further back

There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Roll-top and period baths

We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

Common questions in Hesters Way

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Yes, we often do. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.

Is my repair covered?

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

Do you charge for travel?

There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.

Do you work in Hesters Way?

Yes. We cover the entire UK and come to Hesters Way and the rest of Gloucestershire. Send photos and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

You’ll get a fixed quote back, plus dates. There’s no obligation to book.

When can you do it?

Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.

Will there be a smell?

A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.

Do you resurface freestanding baths?

Yes. Inside and out.

What we can’t put right

A repair is not always the answer, and we would rather say so up front. We cannot fix:

  • A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
  • A bath that is rusted through
  • A metal bath with a through crack

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.

Surfaces we repair

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

Can I fix it myself?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. 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.

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

What happens on the day

Once we are through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes the best part of a day, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
  2. Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
  3. We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
  4. We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
  5. The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

Ask for a price

Upload pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your GL51 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
