Bath repair in Harthill

Bath repair at your home in Harthill

A typical bath repair is a few hours’ work, and the bath is back in use the following day. You will not need a plumber or tiler, because the bath does not move. Whether it’s an old repair that has yellowed or come loose and rust by the waste and overflow, we can typically put it right, on acrylic, pressed steel enamel and roll-top & freestanding alike.

Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before booking.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Harthill

If you manage property in Harthill, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send pictures for each address and we’ll price them together.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

What we do, step by step

The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can stay at home while we are there. We protect the area first, then the work takes a few hours, depending on the damage. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. We start by cleaning the damage and taking out loose enamel and rust.
  2. The chip or crack is filled, then sanded level with the bath.
  3. We tint the finish on the day to suit your bath’s shade of white or colour.
  4. We build up the finish and polish it into the surrounding enamel.
  5. Once it has cured, normally by the following day, the bath is ready to use.

Before we arrive

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Open a window if you can

When we would advise against a repair

Some jobs are not right for a repair, for example:

  • Cracks in acrylic we cannot reach from underneath
  • Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
  • A whole bath that is dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix

Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

What we work on

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

Looking after it afterwards

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

  • Ensure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
  • Rinse it down after each bath
  • Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
  • Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale

For the first few days, keep heavy bottles off the repaired spot. After that, clean it as you would the rest of the bath, avoiding abrasives.

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

What we’re called out for in Harthill

Many chips happen while the bathroom is being fitted. Tools, tiles and fittings get dropped into the bath, and the damage isn’t always spotted until later. We repair snagging damage like this regularly.

Keep an eye out for these signs:

  • Snagging damage from a refit
  • Chips under the taps
  • Impact holes in acrylic
  • Chips on the rim or sides

What your quote should include

  • What aftercare is recommended
  • When it can be used again
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
  • What prep work is covered

10 questions to ask before you book

What affects the price in Harthill

Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed price from pictures. This is what makes a difference:

  • How much damage there is
  • What kind of damage it is
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Access to the area

No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

How to get a fixed price

When you take your photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • Any details about the material
  • A photo taken from further back
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing a fitted bath normally means a plumber, lifting out the old bath, making good the tiles and panel and getting rid of the old bath. Repairing it deals only with the damage in one visit. Prices start from £95. Compared with replacing, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Why us?

  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • Normally one visit, start to finish
  • No need to remove anything

FAQs for Harthill

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.

Can a cracked acrylic bath be fixed?

In most cases. The back of the crack is strengthened before the front is filled and refinished, so we need access under the bath.

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

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

Is there a call-out fee?

We don’t add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.

What happens after I send photos?

You get a fixed quote and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.

What do you need from me?

Photos of the damage, a photo of the whole bath and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.

What happens if you find more damage?

We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

Will the repair last?

It should, as long as the bath is firm and the area was prepared well. It carries our one-year guarantee.

DIY kit or professional repair?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
