About our bath repair in Crockham Hill

Repairing baths is what we do most. Chips on the rim, rust around the waste and cracks in acrylic are all repaired in place, normally in one visit. We are often asked to fix rust spots around the plughole and damage beneath the taps, on cast iron enamel, whirlpool & spa baths and acrylic.

Every job is backed for twelve months in Crockham Hill and everywhere else. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

When we would advise against a repair

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
  • A steel bath rusted through
  • Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we can’t get to from below

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Do you need bath repair in Crockham Hill?

Many chips happen while the bathroom is being fitted. Tools, tiles and fittings get dropped into the bath, and the damage isn’t always spotted until later. We repair snagging damage like this regularly.

These are the problems we are asked about most:

  • Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
  • Rust by the waste and overflow
  • Cracks in an acrylic bath
  • A failed DIY repair that is discoloured or lifting

  • What aftercare is recommended
  • What preparation is included
  • How soon you can use it again
  • Whether they match the colour on site

Repairs by material

Acrylic

Acrylic baths are moulded sheet reinforced underneath. There’s no rust, but cracks, holes and scratches happen, and a crack only stays repaired if it’s supported underneath.

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’s the part we put right.

How to care for the repair

Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:

  • Check that an acrylic bath does not move when you stand in it
  • Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
  • A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
  • Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas

Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy items on the repaired area. Deal with new chips early, before rust sets in.

Small chips are quick to repair. Left alone, they stain and can rust, so it’s worth getting them done early.

For landlords and businesses

Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

Repair or replace: which is better?

A repair makes sense whenever the damage is localised. It costs far less than a new bath plus fitting, it takes one visit, and nothing else in the room changes. Prices start from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Crockham Hill. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Why us?

  • Colour-matched on site
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • Work done at your home or business
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Crockham Hill. The price depends on:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • The material and finish

We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

How to get a fixed price

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

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • One picture of the whole bath

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire bath, include your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

How it works

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which usually takes a few hours, depending on the damage. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.

  1. We protect the bath and the floor around it.
  2. We clean, key and degrease the damage, 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 tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, generally the next day.

Before we arrive

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Get a quote

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and no obligation.
