How we handle bath repair in Hand Green

A repair fixes just the damaged area and blends it into the rest of the bath, which is far cheaper than replacing a fitted bath and the tiles around it. You can typically use the bath the next day. If you’re dealing with rust by the waste and overflow and scratches you can feel with a fingernail, we can usually put it right, whatever the material.

Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

FAQs for Hand Green

Can you redo an old repair?

Yes, we do this frequently. The old material comes out, any rust is treated, then we repair it properly.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

How long before I can use the bath?

Normally the next day. We’ll tell you the exact curing time when we finish.

Does someone need to be in?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.

Is it messy?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

Do you repair coloured baths?

Yes, coloured baths are no problem. We tint the finish to your bath on site.

What we do, step by step

We begin by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we’re doing. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and we start. Allow a few hours, and we will tell you if anything changes.

  1. Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
  2. The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased, 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 tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, usually the day after.

Preparing for the visit

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

How to care for the repair

To keep it looking its best for years:

  • Put a towel in the bath if you’re working above it
  • Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
  • Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
  • Do not leave a fresh chip for long

Treat the repaired area like the rest of the bath: a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs. Keep scouring pads and gritty cleaners away from it.

Stop using the bath if a crack lets water through until it’s repaired. Water under the bath can damage the floor and the ceiling below.

When we’d advise against a repair

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
  • Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
  • Wear across the whole surface, which needs re-enamelling

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

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Hand Green. The price reflects:

  • The type of damage
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Hand Green. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Quotes from your photos

Phone pictures are fine. Ensure they show:

  • One picture of the entire bath
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • The material, if you know it
  • 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 to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

What your bath is made of matters

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

Composite and resin

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

When to call us in Hand Green

Nearly all the chips we see start with something being dropped: a shampoo bottle, a shower head, a tile or a tool during a refit. On steel and cast iron baths, any chip down to the metal will start to rust.

Send us a photo if you notice any of these:

  • Deep scratches in acrylic
  • Rust by the waste and overflow
  • Chips caused by builders
  • Chips on the rim or sides

How to compare quotes

DIY kit or professional repair?

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.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Hand Green

Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, photos and access details and we’ll handle the rest.
