Bath repair in Hammer

Do you need bath repair in Hammer?

Dropped items cause the majority of chips, and building work is a common culprit. Acrylic baths crack for a different reason: the bath isn’t properly supported, so it flexes under weight.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • A chipped rim or side
  • Holes from dropped items
  • Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
  • Rust spots around the plughole

About our bath repair in Hammer

A damaged bath doesn’t have to mean a new bathroom. We fill the damage, shape it to the curve of the bath and refinish it, mixing the colour on the day. We work on whirlpool & spa baths, acrylic and pressed steel enamel, and common reasons people contact us are a hole punched through by something heavy and a chipped rim or side.

Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

How the visit works

Here’s how a visit usually runs: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and tidy away. Allow a few hours, depending on the damage. Before we go, we’ll explain how long to leave it 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. The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
  5. The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.

Before we arrive

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Hammer. The price reflects:

  • Access to the area
  • How much damage there is
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Hammer. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Getting a price from photos

Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To help us price it:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos using our quote form or call us. We’ll say immediately whether it can be repaired.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

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.

Aftercare tips

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Rinse it down after each bath
  • Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
  • Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
  • Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners

Keep metal objects like razors and cans off the surface, because they can mark the enamel. And fix dripping taps promptly.

If water is getting through a crack, stop using the bath. Leaks under a bath can damage floors and ceilings.

Questions from Hammer

Can tenants book a repair?

Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

What happens after I send pictures?

We review the pictures and send a fixed quote with dates.

Is there a guarantee?

All our work carries a one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.

When can I have a bath again?

Normally by the following day, though it depends on what we have done.

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

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

Will there be a smell?

A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

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

Do you come to Hammer?

We do. We send a technician to Hammer for every job, with no extra charge for travel.

Honest limits

A repair is not right for every job, for example:

  • A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
  • Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
  • Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we cannot get to from below

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.

Materials we repair

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

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. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before you book.

Why book with us

  • We leave the room as we found it
  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • Same prices wherever you are
  • Fixed prices from your photos

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are thick and very strong, finished with fired enamel. Chips can rust if left, but the body of the bath lasts a very long time, so it’s always worth repairing.

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
