Bath repair in Hanley Swan, done in place

Whether your bath is steel, cast iron or acrylic, we can repair it. Each material is repaired a little differently: rust is treated on metal baths, while cracks in acrylic are reinforced from underneath. Common call-outs are for rust by the waste and overflow and snagging damage from a refit, across pressed steel enamel, acrylic and whirlpool & spa baths.

We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Different materials, different repairs

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are thick and very strong, finished with fired enamel. A chip down to the iron can rust, 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 needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

Common questions in Hanley Swan

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

What happens if you find more damage?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders in Hanley Swan.

Are there extra charges for Hanley Swan?

There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.

Can you repair a crack in an acrylic bath?

Frequently, yes, if we can reach the underside to reinforce it. Take off the bath panel and check, or send us a picture.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Of course, and it normally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.

Do you cover the entire of Worcestershire?

Everywhere in the UK, Hanley Swan included. Travel is included in the price.

What we do, step by step

From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes a few hours, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  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. We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
  5. Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.

How to prepare

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Clear the area around the damage

Keeping it looking good

How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Rinse it down after each bath
  • Put a towel in the bath if you are working above it
  • Ensure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
  • Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth

Do not leave razors, cans or hair grips in the bath, as they can leave rust marks. A dripping tap should be fixed early, too.

A chip on a metal bath shouldn’t be left. Water gets to the metal and rust starts, turning a quick repair into a bigger one.

What bath repair costs

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

  • How many areas need work
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

Set against the cost of replacement, repairing normally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Getting a price from photos

Most quotes are done from photos alone. To make it quick:

  • One picture of the entire bath
  • Details of any past repairs
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

Upload photos of the damage and one of the entire item, with your WR8 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

Honest limits

We would rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:

  • A steel bath rusted through
  • Cracks in acrylic we cannot reach from underneath
  • Wear across the entire surface, which needs re-enamelling

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

What we work on

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

Landlord and trade work in Hanley Swan

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Cast iron baths in particular are worth repairing: getting one out, particularly from an upstairs bathroom, is a big job, and a like-for-like replacement can be expensive. Repairing it leaves it where it is. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking, with nothing added on the day.
