Bath repair for Haddon homes

Bath repair in Haddon without replacing anything

You don’t need a new bath because of a chip. We fill the damage, shape it to the curve of the bath and refinish it, with the colour mixed on site. We work on whirlpool & spa baths, pressed steel enamel and roll-top & freestanding, and the jobs we see most are snagging damage from a refit and rusty patches near the plughole.

You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Haddon as everywhere else we work.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:

  • How much damage there is
  • The material
  • The type of damage
  • How many items we do on one visit

We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Haddon. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Getting a price from photos

You can normally get a fixed price without us visiting. To help us price it:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Details of any past repairs

There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

Cast iron

A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that is what we repair.

When a repair isn’t the answer

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
  • Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
  • Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

What we work on

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

Signs you need bath repair in Haddon

Rust usually starts where water sits, around the waste, under the taps or in an old chip. Water on bare metal causes rust that creeps under the surrounding enamel.

The things clients normally mention when they call are:

  • Chips under the taps
  • An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
  • Snagging damage from a refit
  • A cracked acrylic bath

What your quote should include

  • Who will actually do the work
  • How soon you can use it again
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • What happens if they find more damage

10 questions to ask before booking

For landlords and businesses

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

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

Should you replace it?

Cast iron baths in particular are worth repairing: they’re very heavy to remove, especially upstairs, and a like-for-like replacement can be expensive. A repair keeps it in place. Our bath repair starts from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Why book with us

  • No need to remove anything
  • A fixed quote before booking
  • Colour-matched on site
  • Most jobs done in one visit

Haddon: your questions answered

What happens if you find more damage?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

Can you repair several things at once?

Of course, and it normally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.

What do you need from me?

Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we will take it from there.

I tried a repair kit. Can you fix it?

Yes. We take out the old repair and do it properly. Tell us about it when you send pictures.

Can you match an avocado or pink bath?

Yes. We mix the colour on the day to match, including older coloured suites.

Do the materials smell?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It fades as everything cures.

Is a cracked acrylic bath repairable?

Often, yes, if we can reach the underside to reinforce it. Take off the bath panel and check, or send us a photo.

What happens on the day

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which normally takes two to three hours for most chips. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.

  1. First, we check the damage against your pictures and agree the plan.
  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. We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
  5. The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
