Bath repair at your home in Colden Common

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. Repairing it stops the damage getting worse. If you’re dealing with a hole punched through by something heavy and a kit repair that didn’t last, we can help.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

What affects the price in Colden Common

Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed price from photos. This is what makes a difference:

  • How many areas need work
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • What kind of damage it is
  • What the surface is made of

The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You will see the full price before you book, with nothing added on the day.

Getting a price from photos

Two or three clear photos are typically enough. It helps if you send:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Where you are, by postcode

There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

What your bath is made of matters

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that is the part we put right.

Acrylic

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

Common problems we fix in Colden Common

Dropped items cause the majority of chips, and a lot happen during bathroom refits. Acrylic baths crack for a different reason: poor support underneath, so the bath flexes when it’s full.

Send us a picture if you notice any of these:

  • Deep scratches in acrylic
  • A kit repair that didn’t last
  • Impact holes in acrylic
  • Rust spots around the plughole

10 questions to ask before booking

Keeping it looking good

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Store metal items away from the bath
  • Rinse it down after each bath
  • Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
  • Get a dripping tap fixed promptly

Keep metal objects like razors and cans off the surface, because they can mark the enamel. And fix dripping taps promptly.

Tape over a fresh chip or crack until it’s repaired, to keep water out. Take it off before we arrive.

Colden Common: your questions answered

When can I have a bath again?

Typically within a day, though it depends on what we’ve done.

How much does bath repair cost in Colden Common?

Repairs from £95. Every job gets a fixed quote from your photos. Send a close-up and a photo of the whole item and your postcode.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

How invisible is a bath repair?

We aim for a repair you can’t easily find. The rest of the bath’s condition makes a difference.

Is a bath repair durable?

Yes, if it’s prepared properly and the bath is sound. It carries our one-year guarantee.

When can you do it?

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

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.

Do you cover Colden Common?

We do. Technicians travel to Colden Common from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Landlord and trade work in Colden Common

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Hampshire and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

What happens on the day

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. The job generally runs to a few hours, tidy-up included.

  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 clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the day after.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

What a repair cannot fix

Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, for example:

  • Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
  • A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
  • Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
