Trusted bath repair in Hambrook

How we price bath repair

Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. This is what makes a difference:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • What kind of damage it is
  • The colour and finish to match

A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Send photos for a quote

The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • The material, if you know it
  • Details of any past repairs
  • Something in shot to show the size

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, add your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.

Bath repair at your home in Hambrook

Small damage on a bath is worth repairing early. On steel and cast iron, exposed metal starts to rust, and on acrylic, a crack keeps spreading while the bath flexes. A repair stops both. Our repair technicians work on acrylic, pressed steel enamel and cast iron enamel, and common reasons people get in touch are chips along the edge of the bath and cracks in an acrylic bath.

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee.

Work for landlords and builders

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

What a repair can’t fix

Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits too:

  • Cracks in acrylic we cannot reach from underneath
  • A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
  • A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense

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

What we work on

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

Different materials, different repairs

Composite and resin

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

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

Questions from Hambrook

Are you a vetted contractor?

We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

Will the price change on the day?

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

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.

Do I have to be there?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

Something went through my bath. Can it be fixed?

Typically, yes, if we can reach behind it. The hole is backed, filled and refinished to match.

Do the materials smell?

Expect a mild smell while we’re working, which fades afterwards.

Keeping it looking good

It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:

  • Don’t leave razors or cans standing in the bath
  • Give the bath a quick rinse after use
  • Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
  • Put a towel in the bath if you’re working above it

Leave the repair to cure for as long as we say before using the bath. From then on, mild cleaning is all it needs.

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

When to call us in Hambrook

Most bath damage comes from something dropped: bottles, shower heads, tiles and tools. On enamelled baths, any chip down to the metal will start to rust.

You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:

  • A kit repair that didn’t last
  • Rust by the waste and overflow
  • Damage beneath the taps
  • Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted

Questions to ask before you book

  • How changes to the job are handled
  • How your room will be protected
  • What prep work is covered
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long

Our hiring checklist

How it works

From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes a morning or an afternoon, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. We protect the bath and the floor around it.
  2. We clean, key and degrease the damage.
  3. We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
  4. We match both the colour and the shine.
  5. We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, typically the next day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing a fitted bath normally means a plumber, removing the old bath, re-tiling and a new panel and disposing of the old one. Repairing it deals only with the damage in one visit. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing normally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good.

  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
