About our bath repair in Coton Hayes

A typical bath repair is a few hours’ work, and the bath is back in use the next day. There is no need to book a plumber or tiler, because the bath doesn’t move. If you are dealing with chips along the edge of the bath and snagging damage from a refit, we can typically put it right.

We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Can I fix it myself?

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

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.

For landlords and businesses

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Coton Hayes as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

How to care for the repair

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:

  • Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
  • Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
  • Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
  • Rinse it down after each bath

For the first few days, keep heavy bottles off the repaired spot. After that, clean it as you would the rest of the bath without abrasive products.

Avoid standing in a cracked acrylic bath until it’s fixed. Each time it flexes, the crack grows, and it can start to leak underneath.

FAQs for Coton Hayes

Is my repair covered?

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

Can you repair a crack in an acrylic bath?

Normally, yes, as long as we can get to the back of the crack to support it. Check under the bath panel, or send us a photo.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Generally, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so let us know about it.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

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

When can you do it?

That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.

Do you work in Coton Hayes?

Yes, we do. Technicians travel to Coton Hayes from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.

What does bath repair cost?

Prices start from £95. We give a fixed quote from your photos. Send a close-up and a picture of the entire item with your ST18 postcode.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Cast iron

Cast iron is heavy and rigid, finished with fired enamel. Chips can rust if left, but the bath itself lasts for generations, which makes it well worth repairing.

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

How the visit works

Here’s how a visit usually runs: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, do the job and tidy away. Allow a few hours, depending on the damage from start to finish. Before we go, we’ll explain when 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. The colour is mixed on the spot to match your bath.
  4. Finish coats go on, then the repair is polished to blend in.
  5. The repair is left to cure, and most baths can be used the next day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Clear the area around the damage

Related advice

What we’re called out for in Coton Hayes

A cracked acrylic bath generally wasn’t supported properly. Legs that are not adjusted, a missing cradle or a soft floor let the base flex until the acrylic gives way.

The most common problems we’re called about are:

  • A chipped rim or side
  • Rust by the waste and overflow
  • Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
  • An old repair that has yellowed or come loose

Before you book anyone

  • What preparation is included
  • Who will actually do the work
  • What happens if they find more damage
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?

10 questions to ask before booking

Should you replace it?

Cast iron baths especially are worth keeping: they’re very heavy to remove, especially upstairs, and replacing like for like isn’t cheap. Repairing it leaves it where it is. Prices start from £95. There are no surprise 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.

What a repair cannot fix

To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair will not fix:

  • Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we can’t get to from below
  • A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
  • A steel bath rusted through
