Bath repair at your home in Fox Hollies

Small damage on a bath is worth repairing early. On steel and cast iron, exposed metal starts to rust, and on acrylic, a crack keeps spreading while the bath flexes. Repairing it stops the damage getting worse. Whether it’s scuffs and scratches in the surface and impact holes in acrylic, we can typically put it right.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we’ll come back.

When we’d advise against a repair

We will not take on work that won’t last, so these are the limits:

  • A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
  • Wear across the entire surface, which needs re-enamelling
  • Acrylic cracks with no access behind them

Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. There’s no area surcharge for Fox Hollies. What changes the price is:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How much damage there is

We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Send photos for a quote

Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A picture taken from further back

For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Do you need bath repair in Fox Hollies?

Baths take more knocks than people expect: bottles, shower heads and razors are dropped every day, and taps and wastes are tightened against the surface. Over time, chips and rust spots are almost inevitable.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

  • Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
  • A hole punched through by something heavy
  • Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
  • An old repair that has yellowed or come loose

Before booking anyone

  • How the colour is matched
  • When it can be used again
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers

Choosing a repair company

Looking after it afterwards

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:

  • Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
  • Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
  • A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
  • If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted

In the first few days, avoid putting weight or bottles on the repair. After that, clean it as you would the rest of the bath, avoiding abrasives.

A small chip is a quick job. Leave them and they collect dirt, stain and, on metal baths, rust, so early repair saves time and money.

Should you replace it?

For damage in one or two places, a repair is the obvious choice. It costs far less than a new bath plus fitting, it takes one visit, and nothing else in the room changes. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You will see the full price before booking.

Why us?

  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • We leave the room as we found it
  • Colour-matched on site
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year

The process

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and tidy away. Allow a morning or an afternoon from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and how to look after it.

  1. We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
  2. Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
  3. We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
  4. The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
  5. Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Getting a price

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.

Advice

Landlord and trade work in Fox Hollies

Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Repairs by material

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that is what we repair.

Acrylic

An acrylic bath is a moulded sheet strengthened from below. There’s no rust, but cracks, holes and scratches happen, and cracks need support from behind to stay fixed.
