Bath repair at your home in Hallaton

A repair fixes just the damaged area and blends it into the rest of the bath, which costs far less than replacing a fitted bath and the tiles around it. You can usually use the bath the day after. If you are dealing with rust by the waste and overflow and a failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting, we can normally put it right, whatever the material.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard.

Keeping it looking good

Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:

  • Rinse it down after each bath
  • Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
  • Store metal items away from the bath
  • Clean with warm water and a mild detergent

Don’t leave razors, cans or hair grips in the bath, as they can leave rust marks. A dripping tap should be fixed early, too.

Don’t leave a chip on a steel or cast iron bath. Water gets to the metal and rust starts, turning a quick repair into a bigger one.

When to call us in Hallaton

Rust usually starts where water sits, around the waste, under the taps or in an old chip. Water on bare metal causes rust that creeps under the surrounding enamel.

Look out for any of the following:

  • Snagging damage from a refit
  • Impact holes in acrylic
  • Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
  • Cracks in an acrylic bath

What to look for in a quote

  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • Who turns up on the day

Choosing a repair company

When a repair isn’t the answer

Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits too:

  • Metal that has corroded all the way through
  • Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
  • Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we can’t get to from below

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

Landlord and trade work in Hallaton

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

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

Can I fix it myself?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

Repairs by material

Composite and resin

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

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are thick and very strong, with a fused enamel surface. A chip down to the iron can rust, but the bath itself lasts for generations, which makes it well worth repairing.

Questions from Hallaton

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.

Do you come to Hallaton?

We do. Repair technicians travel to Hallaton from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.

Is a bath repair durable?

It should, as long as the bath is firm and the area was prepared well. It’s covered by our one-year guarantee.

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.

What does bath repair cost?

Repairs from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You’ll get a fixed figure before booking.

What areas do you cover?

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

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

How long does the repair take to cure?

Normally by the following day, depending on the repair.

What happens on the day

The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can stay at home while we’re there. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a few hours, depending on the damage. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. We protect the bath and the floor around it.
  2. We clean, key and degrease the damage, and any rust is treated.
  3. Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
  4. We match both the colour and the shine.
  5. We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the day after.

Before we arrive

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
