Bath repair in Handbridge

Keeping it looking good

Nothing complicated is needed:

  • Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
  • Give the bath a quick rinse after use
  • Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
  • Do not leave razors or cans standing in the bath

Don’t leave razors, cans or hair grips in the bath, as they can leave rust marks. And fix dripping taps promptly.

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.

How we handle bath repair in Handbridge

Repairing baths is what we do most. A chip by the taps, a crack in the base and a rust spot by the plughole are all fixed without removing the bath, normally in one visit. Whether it’s cracks in an acrylic bath and chips under the taps, we can help, whatever the material.

All our work is covered by a one-year guarantee.

Repair or replace: which is better?

A new bath brings a chain of other jobs: tiles along the rim generally crack when it comes out, the panel may not fit the new one, and a plumber has to disconnect and reconnect everything. Repairing the damage avoids all of that. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Why us?

  • No need to remove anything
  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • No extra charge for your area
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do

For landlords and businesses

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit.

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.

When to call us in Handbridge

Baths take more knocks than people expect: everyday items get dropped into it all the time, and fittings press hard against the enamel. Sooner or later, most baths pick up a chip.

These are the problems we’re asked about most:

  • Snagging damage from a refit
  • Chips under the taps
  • A kit repair that didn’t last
  • A hole punched through by something heavy

What to look for in a quote

  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • Who will actually do the work
  • How the room is protected while they work

Our hiring checklist

How the visit works

From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes a few hours, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
  2. We clean, key and degrease the damage, and any rust is treated.
  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, usually the day after.

How to prepare

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Getting a price

Can I fix it myself?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

What a repair can’t fix

Not everything can be repaired, and we’ll tell you before we start. Repairs won’t solve:

  • A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
  • A whole bath that’s dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
  • Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we can’t get to from below

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

What we work on

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

What bath repair costs

Prices start from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Handbridge. The price comes down to:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • The material and finish
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

A repair normally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Send pictures for a quote

Before you send pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Details of any past repairs
  • One picture of the entire bath

We price from photos so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.

Questions from Handbridge

Will the repair show?

We aim for a repair you cannot easily find. How well it disappears depends on the condition of the rest of the bath, and we’ll tell you what to expect.

Are you accredited?

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

Will you leave a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.

Will there be a smell?

There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.

Is a holed acrylic bath repairable?

Generally, yes, if we can reach behind it. We back the hole, fill it and refinish the surface.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Generally, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.

How soon can you come?

That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.

Can you repair a failed DIY repair?

Yes. We take out the old repair and do it properly. Tell us about it when you send pictures.
