Repairs by material

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

Composite and resin

Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, in much the same way.

What a repair can’t fix

A repair isn’t always the answer, and we’ll tell you before we start. Repairs won’t solve:

  • Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
  • Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
  • Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.

Materials we work on in Hampton Heath

  • Pressed steel enamel
  • Cast iron enamel

What affects the price in Hampton Heath

Repairs from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The material and finish
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • What kind of damage it is

No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

How to get a fixed quote

You can take the photos on your phone. Just make sure we can see:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • One picture of the entire bath
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Details of any past repairs

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire bath, we can give you a fixed price the same day in most cases.

When to call us in Hampton Heath

A cracked acrylic bath normally wasn’t supported properly. Legs that are not adjusted, a missing cradle or a soft floor let the bath move until it cracks.

These are the problems we’re asked about most:

  • Snagging damage from a refit
  • Rust spots around the plughole
  • A chipped rim or side
  • Deep scratches in acrylic

How to compare quotes

Should I try a DIY kit first?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. 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.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.

Repairing versus replacing in Hampton Heath

When the bath is otherwise sound, repairing beats replacing. It’s quicker, cheaper and far less disruptive, and you keep the bath you chose. Where the entire surface is tired, we may suggest re-enamelling instead. Prices start from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

Looking after it afterwards

Nothing complicated is needed:

  • Do not leave a fresh chip for long
  • Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
  • Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
  • If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted

Use gentle, non-abrasive cleaners and try not to drop heavy bottles on the repair. Deal with new chips early, before rust sets in.

If an acrylic bath has a crack, stop showering in it until it’s repaired. Every use opens the crack a little more, and water can get through to the floor below.

How it works

Once we are through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job 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 start by cleaning the damage and taking out loose enamel and rust.
  2. We fill the damage and sand it flush with the surrounding surface.
  3. The colour is mixed on the spot to match your bath.
  4. Finish coats go on, then the repair is polished to blend in.
  5. Once it has cured, normally by the day after, the bath is ready to use.

Preparing for the visit

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

Getting a price

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.

Advice

FAQs for Hampton Heath

What does bath repair cost?

Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Can you repair a chip on a coloured bath?

Yes. The colour is mixed on site to suit your bath, including pastel and older colours.

Is a repair better than a new one?

In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

Will it make a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.

Can you redo an old repair?

Yes. We remove the old filler and start again. Tell us about it when you send pictures.

Can you price it without visiting?

Usually, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.

Can tenants book a repair?

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

Can you repair a hole in a bath?

Normally. Send us a picture of the hole and one from under the bath if you can.
