How to look after the repair

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
  • Don’t scrub with anything abrasive
  • Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
  • Get a dripping tap fixed promptly

There is nothing special to do after a repair, beyond gentle cleaning. Avoid bleach-based and gritty cleaners and rinse after use.

Tape over a fresh chip or crack until it’s repaired, so water cannot get in. Remove it before the repair.

Bath repair in Halford without replacing anything

We have repaired just about every kind of bath damage: chips from dropped bottles, rust round the plughole, cracks in acrylic and holes from falling tools. All of it is repaired where the bath stands. We are often asked to fix chips caused by builders and chips on the rim or sides, on acrylic, roll-top & freestanding and whirlpool & spa baths.

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

When a repair is not the answer

In fairness, some problems need a different fix:

  • Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
  • A steel bath rusted through
  • Leaking fittings, which need a plumber

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before booking.

Work for landlords and builders

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we will handle the rest.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Halford as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it normally costs far less than a refit.

What we do, step by step

The work is clean and fairly quiet. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a morning or an afternoon. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to care for it.

  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. We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
  4. We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
  5. Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

What we’re called out for in Halford

Nearly all the chips we see start with something being dropped: a shampoo bottle, a shower head, a tile or a tool during a refit. On steel and cast iron baths, a chip that reaches the metal will start to rust.

Look out for any of the following:

  • Chips under the taps
  • Chips caused by builders
  • Rust spots around the plughole
  • Holes from dropped items

Our hiring checklist

Repairs by material

Pressed steel

Steel baths are lighter than cast iron, but have a similar enamel surface. Chips rust quickly on steel, especially around the waste, so repair chips early.

Composite and resin

Composite baths are dense and solid, and frequently freestanding. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, in much the same way.

Can I fix it myself?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Many people think a damaged bath means a new one. Typically it doesn’t: a repair keeps the bath in service for years, without the cost and upheaval of replacing it. Prices start from £95. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Questions from Halford

Do I have to be there?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.

When can I have a bath again?

Most baths can be used the following day. We’ll tell you the exact curing time when we finish.

Do you repair coloured baths?

Yes, coloured baths are no problem. The colour is tinted by hand on the day.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Nearly always. If pictures do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.

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

Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.

Do you cover the entire of Warwickshire?

Across the UK, so Halford is covered. Our prices are the same everywhere.

Is a bath repair permanent?

Done properly, a repair lasts for years, and it’s guaranteed for a year. Gentle cleaning helps.

Will the repair show?

On a glossy bath, you will struggle to find it. On worn enamel, it can look shinier than the rest.
