Book bath repair in Harrow Hill

Repair or replace in Harrow Hill?

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. A repair keeps it in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Why book with us

  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • Work done at your home or business
  • Fixed prices from your photos
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job

How we handle bath repair in Harrow Hill

Bath repair is our most common job. Chips on the rim, rust around the waste and cracks in acrylic are all fixed without removing the bath, normally in one visit. Common call-outs are for damage done while the bathroom was being fitted and chips under the taps, across acrylic, pressed steel enamel and roll-top & freestanding.

All our work is covered by our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Gloucestershire.

Aftercare tips

Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:

  • Don’t leave razors or cans standing in the bath
  • Have new chips seen to early
  • Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
  • Make sure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot

Look after the repair the same way as the bath: a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs. Keep scouring pads and gritty cleaners away from it.

Small chips are quick to repair. Leave them and they collect dirt, stain and, on metal baths, rust, so it’s worth getting them done early.

Honest limits

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)
  • A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
  • Leaking fittings, which need a plumber

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

Surfaces we repair

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

Common problems we fix in Harrow Hill

Rust generally starts where water sits, by the plughole, beneath dripping taps or in an unrepaired chip. Water on bare metal causes rust that creeps under the surrounding enamel.

These are the problems we’re asked about most:

  • Impact holes in acrylic
  • Chips caused by builders
  • Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
  • Deep scratches in acrylic

Questions to ask before you book

  • What aftercare is recommended
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • If travel is included in the price
  • What preparation is included

10 questions to ask before booking

What happens on the day

We work cleanly and quietly, so you can stay at home while we are there. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a few hours. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to look after it.

  1. We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
  2. Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
  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.

Preparing for the visit

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

Harrow Hill questions

Is a holed acrylic bath repairable?

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

Can landlords book you?

Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Do I have to be there?

We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.

How long before I can use the bath?

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

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before.

Do you repair coloured baths?

Yes, we match coloured baths too. We tint the finish to your bath on site.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.

Will the repair last?

A properly prepared repair should last a long time, and it’s guaranteed for a year. Gentle cleaning helps.

Repairs by material

Composite and resin

Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid, and often freestanding. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, in much the same way.

Pressed steel

Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
