About our bath repair in Hade Edge

Most bath damage, from chips and cracks to rust spots and holes, can be repaired with the bath left exactly where it is. Nothing is unplumbed, the tiles aren’t touched, and the repaired area is colour matched so it blends in. We regularly repair pressed steel enamel, roll-top & freestanding and whirlpool & spa baths, and the jobs we see most are rusty patches near the plughole and scratches you can feel with a fingernail.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re not left on your own once we have gone.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. There’s no area surcharge for Hade Edge. The price reflects:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • The material
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

How to get a fixed quote

Phone pictures are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Just ensure we can see:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Details of any past repairs

We price from photos so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.

Different materials, different repairs

Composite and resin

Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid, and often freestanding. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, just like other baths.

Cast iron

Cast iron is heavy and rigid, finished with fired enamel. Chips can rust if left, but the bath itself lasts for generations, so it’s always worth repairing.

Landlord and trade work in Hade Edge

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, pictures and access details and we’ll handle the rest.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

When a repair is not the answer

A repair is not always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. We cannot fix:

  • Cracks in acrylic we can’t reach from underneath
  • Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
  • Metal that has corroded all the way through

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

Surfaces we repair

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

What we are called out for in Hade Edge

Most bath damage comes from something dropped: bottles, shower heads, tiles and tools. On steel and cast iron baths, a chip that reaches the metal will start to rust.

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

  • Rusty patches near the plughole
  • Chips under the taps
  • A cracked acrylic bath
  • Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted

Questions to ask before you book

  • If travel is included in the price
  • Who will actually do the work
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?

Choosing a repair company

How it works

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and start once you are happy with the plan. Most jobs take a few hours, depending on the damage, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. First, we check the damage against your pictures and agree the plan.
  2. Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
  3. We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
  4. The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
  5. The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.

Preparing for the visit

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Ensure the area is dry

Keeping it looking good

How the surface is treated afterwards matters:

  • Do not leave a fresh chip for long
  • Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
  • Give the bath a quick rinse after use
  • Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners

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

Small chips are quick to repair. Leave them and they collect dirt, stain and, on metal baths, rust, so early repair saves time and money.
