How we price bath repair

Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • The colour and finish to match

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Getting a price from pictures

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

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • One picture of the entire bath
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

To get a price, send a couple of pictures using our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

Aftercare tips

Nothing complicated is needed:

  • Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
  • Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
  • Don’t leave a fresh chip for long
  • Get a dripping tap fixed promptly

There is nothing special to do after a repair. Skip bleach and gritty creams and rinse after use.

If an acrylic bath has a crack, stop showering in it until it’s repaired. Each time it flexes, the crack grows, and it can start to leak underneath.

Different materials, different repairs

Pressed steel

Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.

Acrylic

Acrylic baths are moulded sheet reinforced underneath. There’s no rust, but cracks, holes and scratches happen, and a crack only stays repaired if it’s supported underneath.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Hale

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

What a repair cannot fix

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair will not do:

  • Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
  • Cracks in acrylic we can’t reach from underneath
  • A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before you book.

Materials we work on in Hale

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

Why repair rather than replace?

When the bath is otherwise sound, repairing beats replacing. It costs less, takes less time and causes far less upheaval, and the bathroom stays as it is. Where the entire surface is tired, we may suggest re-enamelling instead. Prices start from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Why us?

  • Same prices wherever you are
  • Typically one visit, start to finish
  • No need to remove anything
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited

What happens on the day

There’s not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll take it from there. The job generally runs to a morning or an afternoon, including clearing up.

  1. First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
  2. Next we fill the damage and sand it smooth and level.
  3. The colour is mixed on the spot to match your bath.
  4. Finish coats go on, then the repair is polished to blend in.
  5. We leave it to cure; you can typically use the bath the following day.

How to prepare

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.

Related advice

Do you need bath repair in Hale?

A bath gets knocked about more than you’d think: everyday items get dropped into it all the time, and fittings press hard against the enamel. Over time, chips and rust spots are almost inevitable.

You may need us if you’ve spotted:

  • Holes from dropped items
  • Scuffs and scratches in the surface
  • Chips under the taps
  • Rusty patches near the plughole

Before booking anyone

  • Who will actually do the work
  • If travel is included in the price
  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers

Choosing a repair company

Hale: your questions answered

Do I have to be there?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.

Can rust on a bath be repaired?

Yes, it’s one of the most common repairs we do. We take it back to sound metal, seal it, fill it and match the colour.

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

We look at the photos and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Yes, we often do. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.

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.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just ensure the landlord agrees.

What information do you need?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

Something went through my bath. Can it be fixed?

Generally. Send us a picture of the hole and one from under the bath if you can.
