Your questions about bath repair in Chilworth

What do you need from me?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.

Does someone need to be in?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Can you price it without visiting?

Generally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.

Something went through my bath. Can it be fixed?

In most cases. Send us a picture of the hole and one from under the bath if you can.

How invisible is a bath repair?

On a glossy bath, you will struggle to find it. On older, dull enamel the repair can look glossier than the area around it.

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes, for a year. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Do you cover Chilworth?

Yes. We cover the whole UK and come to Chilworth and the rest of Surrey. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send photos.

Bath repair in Chilworth without replacing anything

It pays to repair bath damage while it’s small. On steel and cast iron, exposed metal starts to rust, while cracks in acrylic grow each time the bath moves. A repair stops both. We work on acrylic, cast iron enamel and pressed steel enamel, and people most frequently call us about holes from dropped items and a chipped rim or side.

You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there’s a problem and we’ll come back.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

Landlord and trade work in Chilworth

For anyone letting property in or around Chilworth, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send pictures for each address and we will come back with a combined price.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip.

What affects the price in Chilworth

Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Chilworth. The price reflects:

  • The type of damage
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • What the surface is made of

We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Getting a price from photos

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A wider photo showing the whole bath

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed price.

Honest limits

Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits too:

  • A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
  • Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
  • A steel bath rusted through

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.

Materials we work on in Chilworth

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

Why repair rather than replace?

A repair makes sense whenever the damage is localised. It’s a fraction of the cost of a new bath and fitting, it’s done in one visit, and nothing else in the room changes. Prices start from £95. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Why book with us

  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • One visit for most repairs
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • A fixed quote before booking

What we’re called out for in Chilworth

  • Deep scratches in acrylic
  • Chips under the taps
  • Cracks in an acrylic bath
  • Impact holes in acrylic

What to look for in a quote

  • Aftercare advice
  • Who will actually do the work
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • What prep work is covered

Our hiring checklist

What we do, step by step

On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll take it from there. Most visits take a few hours.

  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, generally the following day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Getting a price

For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Advice

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Pressed steel

Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.

Composite and resin

Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, in much the same way.
