Trusted bath repair in Bodenham

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:

  • The material
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • How many areas need work

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking, with no extras added later.

Getting a price from photos

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

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

Send us a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you are in Bodenham, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

Bath repair in Bodenham, done in place

You do not need a new bath because of a chip. Our repair technicians fill, shape and refinish the damage, with the colour mixed on site. We work on acrylic, roll-top & freestanding and whirlpool & spa baths, and the jobs we see most are cracks in an acrylic bath and an old repair that has yellowed or come loose.

A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

When a repair is not the answer

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:

  • A steel bath rusted through
  • Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we can’t get to from below
  • Wear across the entire surface, which needs re-enamelling

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

Surfaces we repair

  • Roll-top & freestanding
  • Pressed steel enamel
  • Acrylic
  • Cast iron enamel
  • Whirlpool & spa baths

Can I fix it myself?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

Repairs by material

Acrylic

Acrylic baths are moulded sheet reinforced underneath. They do not rust, but they can crack, scratch or be holed, and a crack only stays repaired if it’s supported underneath.

Pressed steel

Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.

Landlord and trade work in Bodenham

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Bodenham use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it normally costs far less than a refit.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Aftercare tips

So the finish stays in good condition:

  • Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
  • Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
  • Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
  • Keep metal cans and razors off the surface

Leave the repair to cure for as long as we say before using the bath. From then on, mild cleaning is all it needs.

Don’t leave a chip on a steel or cast iron bath. Once water reaches the metal, rust begins, and a rust spot is a bigger repair than a clean chip.

The process

We work cleanly and quietly, so you can carry on at home. We protect the area first, then the work takes two to three hours for most chips. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. First, we check the damage against your pictures and agree the plan.
  2. Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
  3. We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
  4. We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
  5. The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

  • Impact holes in acrylic
  • A chipped rim or side
  • A cracked acrylic bath
  • A kit repair that didn’t last

Questions to ask before you book

  • Who will actually do the work

How to compare quotes

Questions from Bodenham

Is a bath repair permanent?

Done properly, a repair lasts for years, and it’s guaranteed for a year. Gentle cleaning helps it last.

Do you cover the entire of Herefordshire?

We work UK-wide, and that includes Bodenham. Our prices are the same everywhere.

Can you repair a crack in an acrylic bath?

Most of the time. We reinforce the crack from behind, then fill and refinish the front, so access behind the panel is important.

Will there be a smell?

There can be some smell while we work. It fades as everything cures.

Is a repair better than a new one?

In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

How do I book?

Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners in Bodenham.

Can you quote from photos?

Nearly always. If pictures don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.
