Bath repair in Green Hailey

What we are called out for in Green Hailey

Rust tends to begin where water collects, around the waste, under the taps or in an old chip. Water on bare metal causes rust that creeps under the surrounding enamel.

If you can see any of these, send us a photo:

  • Chips along the edge of the bath
  • Deep scratches in acrylic
  • Chips caused by builders
  • A chip where the taps sit

What your quote should include

  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • What preparation is included
  • What aftercare is recommended
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT

How to compare quotes

Bath repair at your home in Green Hailey

Bath repair is our most common job. A chip by the taps, a crack in the base and a rust spot by the plughole are all repaired in place, normally in a single visit. We regularly repair roll-top & freestanding, cast iron enamel and acrylic, and common reasons people get in touch are an old repair that has yellowed or come loose and scuffs and scratches in the surface.

Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

Green Hailey questions

Do I have to be there?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.

Can tenants book a repair?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just make sure the landlord agrees.

How invisible is a bath repair?

On a glossy bath, you will struggle to find it. On older, dull enamel the repair can look glossier than the area around it.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

When can you do it?

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

Can you price it without visiting?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.

How do I book?

Photos of the damage, a picture of the whole bath and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

Is a bath repair permanent?

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

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing a bath rarely stops at the bath: tiles along the rim usually crack when it comes out, a new panel is often needed, and a plumber has to disconnect and reconnect everything. A repair skips all of it. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. 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.

Why book with us

  • A fixed quote before you book
  • No need to remove anything
  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • One visit for most repairs

See our pricing and guide to resurfacing and replacement costs.

For landlords and businesses

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

How it works

We turn up when we said we would and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. The work itself takes a few hours, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. We protect the bath and the floor around it.
  2. The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased.
  3. We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
  4. We match both the colour and the shine.
  5. We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, normally the day after.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

What your bath is made of matters

Pressed steel

Pressed steel is thinner and lighter, with an enamel finish like cast iron. Chips rust quickly on steel, particularly by the plughole, so early repairs matter.

Composite and resin

Composite baths are dense and solid, and frequently freestanding. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour matched, just like other baths.

Aftercare tips

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
  • Don’t leave a fresh chip for long
  • Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
  • Do not leave razors or cans standing in the bath

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

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

What affects the price in Green Hailey

Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • How many areas need work

Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Getting a price from photos

When you take your pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • Any details about the material
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • A wider photo showing the entire bath

We price from photos so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.
