Bath repair for Hardington Moor homes

What we do, step by step

We turn up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your pictures first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. The work itself takes two to three hours for most chips, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  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. The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
  4. The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
  5. Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.

Preparing for the visit

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Ask for a price

We price from pictures so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.

How we handle bath repair in Hardington Moor

Bath repair is our most common job. 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. Typical jobs include chips along the edge of the bath and damage done while the bathroom was being fitted, in pressed steel enamel, cast iron enamel and whirlpool & spa baths.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re not left on your own once we have gone.

When we’d advise against a repair

Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, for example:

  • A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
  • Metal that has corroded all the way through
  • Cracks in acrylic we can’t reach from underneath

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

Different materials, different repairs

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are thick and very strong, finished with fired enamel. Chips can rust if left, but the body of the bath lasts a very long time, so it’s always worth repairing.

Pressed steel

Pressed steel is thinner and lighter, with an enamel finish like cast iron. Exposed steel rusts fast, particularly by the plughole, so early repairs matter.

Common questions in Hardington Moor

Can you repair a failed DIY repair?

Yes. We remove the old filler and start again. Mention it when you send pictures.

Do you charge for travel?

There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.

Will the repair show?

On a bath in good condition, a colour-matched repair is very hard to spot. On older, dull enamel the repair can look glossier than the area around it.

Can you price it without visiting?

Typically, yes. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

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

What does bath repair cost?

Prices start from £95. Every job gets a fixed price based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.

How quickly can you book me in?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.

Signs you need bath repair in Hardington Moor

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

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • Snagging damage from a refit
  • Chips along the edge of the bath
  • Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
  • Impact holes in acrylic

What your quote should include

  • Aftercare advice
  • Who turns up on the day
  • What happens if they find more damage
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT

Our hiring checklist

What affects the price in Hardington Moor

Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Whether we combine several jobs

What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Getting a price from pictures

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

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

Repairing versus replacing in Hardington Moor

A repair makes sense whenever the damage is localised. It costs far less than a new bath plus fitting, it takes one visit, and the bathroom stays exactly as it is. Our bath repair starts from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Hardington Moor. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Why Hardington Moor customers choose us

  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • Colour mixed on the day to match
