For landlords and businesses

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Different materials, different repairs

Pressed steel

Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.

Acrylic

An acrylic bath is a moulded sheet strengthened from below. They don’t rust, but they can crack, scratch or be holed, and a crack only stays repaired if it’s supported underneath.

How we price bath repair

Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Hadley. What changes the price is:

  • What the surface is made of
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Quotes from your photos

Before you send pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Details of any past repairs

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.

Keeping it looking good

Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:

  • Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
  • Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
  • Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
  • Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale

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 without abrasive products.

Stop using the bath if a crack lets water through. Water under the bath can damage the floor and the ceiling below.

Hadley questions

Which areas do you work in?

Everywhere in the UK, Hadley included. Travel is included in the price.

Is my repair covered?

All our work carries our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Can you quote from photos?

Nearly always. If pictures don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

What does bath repair cost?

Prices start from £95. Every job gets a fixed quote from your photos. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.

Do you cover Hadley?

Yes, we do. Repair technicians travel to Hadley from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Will you leave a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

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

What information do you need?

Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.

Should you replace it?

Think about the hidden costs of a new bath: taking out the old one, plumbing, tiling, a panel and redecorating. With a repair, it’s one visit and one price. Our bath repair starts from £95. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Why us?

  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • Same prices wherever you are
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • Nothing taken out or refitted

See our prices page or guide to resurfacing and replacement costs.

How it works

Your technician turns up when we said we would, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. Most visits take two to three hours for most chips, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. First, we check the damage against your photos and agree the plan.
  2. Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
  3. The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of 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.

Preparing for the visit

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Getting a price

Upload a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your EN5 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

Advice

Common problems we fix in Hadley

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. Sooner or later, most baths pick up a chip.

Send us a photo if you notice any of these:

  • Scuffs and scratches in the surface
  • Rusty patches near the plughole
  • Chips along the edge of the bath
  • Impact holes in acrylic

Questions to ask before booking

  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • When it can be used again
  • How the room is protected while they work
  • Who will actually do the work

How to compare quotes

When a repair is not the answer

It helps to know what we cannot do:

  • Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
  • Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
  • A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed

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

What we work on

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