Repairing versus replacing in Church End

Replacing a fitted bath normally involves a plumber, removing the old bath, making good the tiles and panel and disposing of the old one. A repair deals only with the damage in a single visit. Our bath repair starts from £95. A repair normally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Repairs by material

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 is the part we put right.

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.

Questions from Church End

Are you a vetted contractor?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

Do you cover the whole of Hampshire?

Across the UK, so Church End is covered. Prices don’t change with location.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.

How soon can you come?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.

Do you cover Church End?

Yes. We cover the entire UK and travel to Church End and the rest of Hampshire. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

How long does the repair take to cure?

Most baths can be used the following day. We will tell you the exact curing time when we finish.

Can you fix rust around the plughole?

Yes. We take out the rust and any loose enamel, seal and fill the area, then colour-match the finish.

How much does bath repair cost in Church End?

Prices start from £95. Every job gets a fixed quote from your photos. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your RG27 postcode.

How the visit works

When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take two to three hours for most chips. We clean up when we are done and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. We clean the area and remove any loose enamel or rust.
  2. We fill the damage and sand it flush with the surrounding surface.
  3. The colour is mixed on the spot to match your bath.
  4. We build up the finish and polish it into the surrounding enamel.
  5. The repair is left to cure, and most baths can be used the day after.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Open a window if you can
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Advice

Landlords, agents and businesses in Church End

Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

DIY kit or professional repair?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

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.

Do you need bath repair in Church End?

Baths take more knocks than people expect: everyday items get dropped into it all the time, and fittings press hard against the enamel. Sooner or later, most baths pick up a chip.

If you can see any of these, send us a photo:

  • Rusty patches near the plughole
  • A chipped rim or side
  • A chip where the taps sit
  • Scratches you can feel with a fingernail

Choosing a repair company

How to care for the repair

Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:

  • Do not leave razors or cans standing in the bath
  • A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
  • Check that an acrylic bath doesn’t move when you stand in it
  • Clean with warm water and a mild detergent

Don’t leave razors, cans or hair grips in the bath, as they can leave rust marks. And fix dripping taps promptly.

A small chip is a quick job. Leave them and they collect dirt, stain and, on metal baths, rust, so early repair saves time and money.

What affects the price in Church End

Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Church End. The price reflects:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • The material
  • The type of damage
  • Unusual colours or finishes

Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
