Repairing versus replacing in Church Hanborough

Replacing a bath rarely stops at the bath: the tiles sitting on the rim tend to break, a new panel is frequently needed, and the plumbing has to be disconnected and refitted. A repair skips all of it. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. 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 play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Why us?

  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • Everything repaired in place

About our bath repair in Church Hanborough

It pays to repair bath damage while it’s small. Exposed metal on enamelled baths soon rusts, and on acrylic, a crack keeps spreading while the bath flexes. Repairing it stops the damage getting worse. Typical jobs include rust spots around the plughole and cracks in an acrylic bath, across acrylic, roll-top & freestanding and whirlpool & spa baths.

Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before booking.

When to call us in Church Hanborough

Damage during fitting is very common. Tools, tiles and fittings get dropped into the bath, and the damage is not always spotted until later. We repair snagging damage like this regularly.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

  • Chips caused by builders
  • Deep scratches in acrylic
  • Chips on the rim or sides
  • Cracks in an acrylic bath

Choosing a repair company

Can I fix it myself?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

For landlords and businesses

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Oxfordshire and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Church Hanborough as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it normally costs far less than a refit.

How it works

We begin by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. Then the area is sheeted and masked and the work begins. You can expect it to take a few hours, and we will tell you if anything changes.

  1. We clean the area and remove any loose enamel or rust.
  2. Next we fill the damage and sand it smooth and level.
  3. We tint the finish on the day to suit your bath’s shade of white or colour.
  4. We build up the finish and polish it into the surrounding enamel.
  5. We leave it to cure; you can normally use the bath the day after.

How to prepare

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Church Hanborough: your questions answered

What areas do you cover?

We work UK-wide, so Church Hanborough is covered. Our prices are the same everywhere.

Can rust on a bath be repaired?

Yes, very frequently. The rust is cut back to clean metal and sealed before we fill and finish it.

Is there a guarantee?

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

Can you price it without visiting?

In nearly every case. If photos do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.

Do you come to Church Hanborough?

We do. We send a technician to Church Hanborough for every job, with no extra charge for travel.

I tried a repair kit. Can you fix it?

Regularly. We strip it out, deal with any rust and repair it again.

Will the repair last?

Done properly, a repair lasts for years, and ours come with a one-year guarantee. Gentle cleaning helps.

When can I have a bath again?

Usually within a day, though it depends on what we have done.

What bath repair costs

Prices start from £95. We price every job individually, from your photos. What matters most is:

  • The material
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • How many areas need work
  • The type of damage

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.

How to get a fixed quote

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

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Where you are, by postcode

To get a price, send two or three pictures through our quote form or ring us. We’ll say right away whether it can be repaired.

Looking after it afterwards

A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:

  • Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
  • Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
  • Do not leave razors or cans standing in the bath
  • Get any new chip repaired before it rusts

Do not leave razors, cans or hair grips in the bath, because they can mark the enamel. A dripping tap should be fixed early, too.

Rust under enamel spreads surprisingly quickly. A chip the size of a fingernail can become a much larger patch if it’s left for months, so it pays to deal with it early.

Repairs by material

Composite and resin

Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid, and often 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 the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
