Bath repair in Hadley

How it works

We begin by going over the job with you. Then the area is sheeted and masked and we start. It normally takes a few hours.

  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. 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.

Before we arrive

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Getting a price

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, and you will get a fixed figure back.

How we handle bath repair in Hadley

Small damage on a bath is worth repairing early. Exposed metal on enamelled baths soon rusts, while cracks in acrylic grow each time the bath moves. A repair stops both. Whether it’s chips along the edge of the bath and damage beneath the taps, we can generally put it right, on acrylic, pressed steel enamel and cast iron enamel alike.

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

Different materials, different repairs

Pressed steel

Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

Can I fix it myself?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

Keeping it looking good

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
  • Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
  • Store metal items away from the bath
  • Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas

Keep metal objects like razors and cans off the surface, because they can mark the enamel. A dripping tap should be fixed early, too.

If water is getting through a crack, stop using the bath. Leaks under a bath can damage floors and ceilings.

How we price bath repair

Repairs from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • The material and finish
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Access to the area

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You will see the full price before booking, with nothing added on the day.

How to get a fixed price

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Try to send:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Details of any past repairs
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • The material, if you know it

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire bath, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

Common questions in Hadley

What happens if you find more damage?

We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

What happens after I send photos?

We review the pictures and send a fixed quote with dates.

Will you leave a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Most of the time. Let us know what was used before.

Can you redo an old repair?

Yes, we do this often. We strip it out, deal with any rust and repair it again.

When can you do it?

Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

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

Should you replace it?

If the rest of the bath is in good condition, a repair is almost always the better choice. It costs less, takes less time and causes far less upheaval, and you keep the bath you chose. Where the whole surface is tired, we may suggest re-enamelling instead. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.

  • Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
  • A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense

What we are called out for in Hadley

Dropped items cause the majority of chips, and a lot happen during bathroom refits. Acrylic baths crack for a different reason: poor support underneath, so the bath flexes when it’s full.

Contact us if you’ve noticed:

  • Damage beneath the taps
  • Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
  • Snagging damage from a refit
  • Rusty patches near the plughole

Comparing quotes

  • How the room is protected while they work
  • What happens if they find more damage
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
