Bath repair in Hartlebury without replacing anything

Most of our bath repairs take a few hours, and you can usually bathe again the next day. There is no need to book a plumber or tiler, because nothing is disconnected. Common call-outs are for damage beneath the taps and chips on the rim or sides, across roll-top & freestanding, cast iron enamel and pressed steel enamel.

You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we’ll come back.

Landlord and trade work in Hartlebury

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Hartlebury as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

FAQs for Hartlebury

What happens after I send photos?

We come back with a fixed quote. You’re under no obligation.

Are you accredited?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.

Will the repair show?

We aim for a repair you cannot easily find. The rest of the bath’s condition makes a difference, and we’ll tell you what to expect.

Can rust on a bath be repaired?

Yes. We remove the rust and loose enamel, seal and fill the area, then colour-match the finish.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We will tell you when the room can be used again.

Can you repair a hole in a bath?

Typically. Send us a picture of the hole and one from under the bath if you can.

Can I fix it myself?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

How we price bath repair

Prices start from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The material
  • Access to the area

Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Quotes from your photos

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

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • One picture of the entire bath
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Any details about the material

Upload photos of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Hartlebury, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

Keeping it looking good

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
  • Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
  • Give the bath a quick rinse after use
  • Put a towel in the bath if you’re working above it

There is nothing special to do after a repair, just sensible cleaning. Skip bleach and gritty creams and rinse after use.

Rust under enamel spreads surprisingly quickly. Left for months, a small chip can grow into a large rust patch, so it pays to deal with it early.

How the visit works

There is not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will get on with it. The job generally runs to a few hours, depending on the damage, tidy-up included.

  1. First, we check the damage against your pictures and agree the plan.
  2. Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
  3. The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of 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

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Ask for a price

There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

Advice

Common problems we fix in Hartlebury

Heavy toiletries are the biggest single cause of chips, closely followed by shower heads. Taps and wastes cause problems too: water collects there, so chips nearby rust quickly.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • Chips under the taps
  • Impact holes in acrylic
  • Deep scratches in acrylic
  • Rusty patches near the plughole

Questions to ask before booking

  • How your room will be protected
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
  • How long it needs to cure

How to compare quotes

What a repair cannot fix

We would rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so these are the limits:

  • A whole bath that’s dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
  • Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we cannot get to from below
  • Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before you book.

Surfaces we repair

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

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Acrylic

Acrylic baths are moulded sheet reinforced underneath. There is no rust, but cracks, holes and scratches happen, and cracks need support from behind to stay fixed.

Pressed steel

Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
