What a repair can’t fix

A repair is not always the answer, and we will tell you before we start. We cannot fix:

  • Metal that has corroded all the way through
  • A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
  • Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before booking.

Surfaces we repair

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

Bath repair in East Hanney without replacing anything

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 work on cast iron enamel, acrylic and whirlpool & spa baths, and people most frequently call us about scuffs and scratches in the surface and holes from dropped items.

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee.

Should you replace it?

Swapping a damaged bath for a new one normally involves a plumber, removing the old bath, re-tiling and a new panel and getting rid of the old bath. Repairing it fixes just the damaged area in a single visit. Prices start from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for East Hanney. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

What you get with us

  • No need to remove anything
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • Fixed prices from your pictures
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do

See our pricing or resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.

For landlords and businesses

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

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

What happens on the day

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which normally takes two to three hours for most chips. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.

  1. We start by cleaning the damage and taking out loose enamel and rust.
  2. We fill the damage and sand it flush with the surrounding surface.
  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. The repair is left to cure, and most baths can be used the next day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Getting a price

Upload pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your OX12 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

Advice

Can I fix it myself?

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

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

What we are called out for in East Hanney

Glass and heavy bottles cause more chips than anything else, closely followed by shower heads. Taps and wastes cause problems too: water collects there, so chips nearby rust quickly.

People typically call us after spotting one of these:

  • Rust spots around the plughole
  • Scuffs and scratches in the surface
  • Snagging damage from a refit
  • Chips under the taps

Comparing quotes

  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
  • Who turns up on the day

How to care for the repair

How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
  • If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
  • Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
  • Clean with warm water and a mild detergent

There’s nothing special to do after a repair. Avoid bleach-based and gritty cleaners and give it a rinse after each bath.

Avoid standing in a cracked acrylic bath until it’s fixed. Every use opens the crack a little more, and it can start to leak underneath.

East Hanney: your questions answered

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.

Are there extra charges for East Hanney?

There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.

Can you redo an old repair?

Regularly. The old material comes out, any rust is treated, then we repair it properly.

How do I book?

Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we will take it from there.

Is it messy?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.

How long does the repair take to cure?

Most baths can be used the next day. We’ll tell you the exact curing time when we finish.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send photos of everything you’d like done.

What affects the price in East Hanney

Prices start from £95. You’ll know the full cost before booking. We look at:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The size and number of damaged areas

Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Quotes from your photos

When you take your pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A photo taken from further back

If you’re in East Hanney and want a price, the easiest route is pictures: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
