Bath repair in Hallen, done in place

You do not need a new bath because of a chip. We fill the damage, shape it to the curve of the bath and refinish it, mixing the colour on the day. We work on pressed steel enamel, acrylic and roll-top & freestanding, and the jobs we see most are chips on the rim or sides and impact holes in acrylic.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee.

Landlord and trade work in Hallen

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, photos and access details and we will arrange it.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

What affects the price in Hallen

Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We look at:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • The colour and finish to match
  • The material
  • How many items we do on one visit

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Send photos for a quote

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Details of any past repairs
  • One picture of the entire bath

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. There’s no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.

How to care for the repair

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
  • Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
  • Give the bath a quick rinse after use
  • Get any new chip repaired before it rusts

A repaired bath needs no special treatment. Avoid bleach-based and gritty cleaners and give it a rinse after each bath.

Until we visit, a strip of waterproof tape over the damage helps, so water can’t get in. Remove it before the repair.

Can I fix it myself?

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

The process

Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so there are no surprises. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and the work begins. You can expect it to take a few hours, depending on the damage, and we’ll tell you if anything changes.

  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. The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
  5. Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.

Preparing for the visit

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated

Ask for a price

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures through our quote form or call us. We’ll say right away whether it can be repaired.

Advice

Common questions in Hallen

Is a holed acrylic bath repairable?

Often, if there’s access underneath. The hole is backed, filled and refinished to match.

What does bath repair cost?

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

Can you quote from photos?

Generally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.

Can you repair a crack in an acrylic bath?

Generally, yes, as long as we can get to the back of the crack to support it. Check under the bath panel, or send us a picture.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

Can you fix rust around the plughole?

Yes. We remove the rust and loose enamel, seal and fill the area, then colour-match the finish.

Do you charge for travel?

We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed quote includes everything.

Are you accredited?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

What your bath is made of matters

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that’s the part we put right.

Pressed steel

Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.

Repairing versus replacing in Hallen

Many people think a damaged bath means a new one. Usually it does not: a proper repair gives it years more use, without the cost and upheaval of replacing it. Our bath repair starts from £95. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

What you get with us

  • Normally one visit, start to finish
  • Work done at your home or business
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • No extra charge for your area
