Should you replace it?

A repair makes sense whenever the damage is localised. It costs far less than a new bath plus fitting, it’s done in one visit, and nothing else in the room changes. Our bath repair starts from £95. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Repairing baths is what we do most. A chip by the taps, a crack in the base and a rust spot by the plughole are all fixed without removing the bath, usually in a single visit. Common call-outs are for damage beneath the taps and a hole punched through by something heavy, in pressed steel enamel, whirlpool & spa baths and roll-top & freestanding.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

What your bath is made of matters

Composite and resin

Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid, and frequently freestanding. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, just like other baths.

Pressed steel

Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

Adeyfield: your questions answered

What happens if you find more damage?

Your quote covers the damage in the photos. If there is more, we’ll tell you before starting.

I tried a repair kit. Can you fix it?

Yes. We remove the old filler and start again. Mention it when you send pictures.

Is repairing better than replacing?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

Is a bath repair durable?

A properly prepared repair should last a long time, and it’s guaranteed for a year. Gentle cleaning helps it last.

Is there a guarantee?

Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

How long before I can use the bath?

Generally within a day, depending on the repair.

Do you cover the whole of Hertfordshire?

All of Hertfordshire, and the rest of the UK. There is no extra charge for travel.

How do I get a price for bath repair in Adeyfield?

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

What we do, step by step

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and clear up. Plan for two to three hours for most chips. Before we go, we will explain when it can be used and how to look after it.

  1. Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
  2. The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased, and any rust is treated.
  3. Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
  4. We match both the colour and the shine.
  5. We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, typically the day after.

Before we arrive

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Let us know about parking or access

Keeping it looking good

Looking after the surface is easy:

  • Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
  • Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
  • Check that an acrylic bath doesn’t move when you stand in it
  • Cover the bath during DIY or decorating

Leave the repair to cure for as long as we say before running a bath. After that, gentle cleaning keeps it looking good.

Rust spreads under enamel faster than most people expect. A chip the size of a fingernail can become a much larger patch if it’s left for months, so early repair keeps the cost down.

Work for landlords and builders

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Adeyfield use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it usually costs far less than a refit.

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

When a repair isn’t the answer

Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, including:

  • Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
  • Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we can’t get to from below
  • A whole bath that’s dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.
