Bath repair near Hanworth

Bath repair in Hanworth without replacing anything

We repair enamelled steel, cast iron and acrylic baths. Each material is repaired a little differently: metal baths need any rust dealt with first, and acrylic cracks need support from behind. Whether it’s hairline or through cracks in acrylic and snagging damage from a refit, we can generally put it right, whatever the material.

You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there is a problem and we will come back.

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 work takes a morning or an afternoon, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
  2. The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased.
  3. We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
  4. We match both the colour and the shine.
  5. We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the next day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Open a window if you can
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Repair or replace: which is better?

Think about the hidden costs of a new bath: taking out the old one, plumbing, tiling, a panel and redecorating. A repair is one job, done in one visit. Our bath repair starts from £95. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.

Why us?

  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • Repair technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job

Hanworth questions

How long before I can use the bath?

Most baths can be used the following day. We confirm the time before we leave.

How do I book?

Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we will take it from there.

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

Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and you will get one combined price.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.

Can you fix rust around the plughole?

Yes. We take out the rust and any loose enamel, fill the area, then colour-match the finish.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

Something went through my bath. Can it be fixed?

Typically. Photos of the hole and the underside help us check.

Is a bath repair permanent?

Yes, if it’s prepared properly and the bath is sound. It carries our one-year guarantee.

How to look after the repair

A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:

  • Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
  • Don’t leave a fresh chip for long
  • Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
  • Ensure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot

Treat the repaired area like the rest of the bath: a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs. Avoid scourers and gritty cream cleaners.

Tape over a fresh chip or crack until it’s repaired, so water cannot get in. Take it off before we arrive.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

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, then guarantee it for a year.

Different materials, different repairs

Cast iron

A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that’s the part we put right.

Composite and resin

Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid, and frequently freestanding. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, just like other baths.

When we’d advise against a repair

We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair will not do:

  • Metal that has corroded all the way through
  • A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
  • Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)

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

What we work on

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

Do you need bath repair in Hanworth?

Rust normally starts where water sits, around the waste, under the taps or in an old chip. Once water reaches the steel or iron, rust spreads under the enamel.

These are the problems we are asked about most:

  • Rust by the waste and overflow
  • Deep scratches in acrylic
  • A cracked acrylic bath
  • Chips on the rim or sides

Questions to ask before you book

  • Aftercare advice
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • Who will actually do the work
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT

Our hiring checklist

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. You’ll know the full cost before booking. We take into account:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • What the surface is made of
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Doing more than one item at once

A repair normally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.

Getting a price from pictures

You can take the pictures on your phone, there is no need for anything special. Just ensure we can see:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • Any details about the material
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.
