How we handle bath repair in Church Hill

You do not need a new bath because of a chip. We fill the damage, shape it to the curve of the bath and refinish it, with the colour mixed on site so the repair is hard to spot. If you are dealing with holes from dropped items and snagging damage from a refit, we can help, on acrylic, pressed steel enamel and whirlpool & spa baths alike.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard.

Do you need bath repair in Church Hill?

Nearly all the chips we see start with something being dropped: bottles, shower heads, tiles and tools. On steel and cast iron baths, any chip down to the metal lets water in, and rust follows.

Get in touch if you’ve noticed:

  • Impact holes in acrylic
  • An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
  • Chips caused by builders
  • A chip where the taps sit

Questions to ask before booking

  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • When it can be used again
  • Who will actually do the work
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT

Your questions about bath repair in Church Hill

What do you need from me?

Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.

Do you come to Church Hill?

Yes, we do. We send a technician to Church Hill for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Will you leave a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.

Can you repair a chip on a coloured bath?

Yes, we match coloured baths too. The colour is tinted by hand on the day.

What happens after I send photos?

We come back with a fixed price. You’re under no obligation.

Can tenants book a repair?

We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

How long does the repair take to cure?

Usually the day after. We’ll tell you the exact curing time when we finish.

Is my repair covered?

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.

How the visit works

The work is clean and fairly quiet. Protection goes down first, then the work takes two to three hours for most chips. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to care for it.

  1. We clean the area and remove any loose enamel or rust.
  2. The chip or crack is filled, then sanded level with the bath.
  3. We mix the colour on the day to match your bath’s exact shade.
  4. We apply the finish coats and polish the repair so it blends in.
  5. We leave it to cure; you can usually use the bath the next day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Advice

Should you replace it?

Think about the hidden costs of a new bath: taking out the old one, plumbing, tiling, a panel and redecorating. A repair is one job, done in one visit. Prices start from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Why us?

  • One price list for the whole UK
  • A fixed quote before booking
  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • No need to remove anything

Take a look at our pricing and resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.

Can I fix it myself?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, 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.

When we’d advise against a repair

We would rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so these are the limits:

  • Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we cannot get to from below
  • Metal that has corroded all the way through
  • A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

Materials we work on in Church Hill

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

What affects the price in Church Hill

Prices start from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Access to the area
  • The material

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Quotes from your photos

Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:

  • Any details about the material
  • Details of any past repairs
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

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

Repairs by material

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

Composite and resin

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