Bath repair in Hartley Mauditt

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Composite and resin

Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, just like other baths.

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that’s the part we put right.

Bath repair at your home in Hartley Mauditt

We repair enamelled steel, cast iron and acrylic baths. The method changes with the material: metal baths need any rust dealt with first, and acrylic cracks need support from behind. If you’re dealing with rusty patches near the plughole and chips on the rim or sides, we can normally put it right, whatever the material.

Every repair is covered by a one-year guarantee.

What we cannot put right

A repair isn’t right for every job, for example:

  • Wear across the whole surface, which needs re-enamelling
  • Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we can’t get to from below
  • A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Surfaces we repair

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

What bath repair costs

Repairs from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Hartley Mauditt. The price depends on:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

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.

Send photos for a quote

Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To help us price it:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

We price from pictures so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.

When to call us in Hartley Mauditt

Acrylic baths that crack nearly always have a support problem. Loose legs, no proper cradle or a floor that gives let the bath move.

Keeping it looking good

To keep it looking its best for years:

  • Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
  • A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
  • Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
  • Don’t leave a fresh chip for long

In the first few days, avoid putting weight or bottles on the repair. After that, clean it as you would the rest of the bath.

Small chips are quick to repair. Left alone, they stain and can rust, so early repair saves time and money.

How it works

We begin by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. Then the area is sheeted and masked and the work begins. It normally takes a few hours, depending on the damage, and we’ll keep you posted as we go.

  1. We clean the area and remove any loose enamel or rust.
  2. We fill the damage and sand it flush with the surrounding surface.
  3. We tint the finish on the day to suit your bath’s shade of white or colour.
  4. Finish coats go on, then the repair is polished to blend in.
  5. We leave it to cure; you can normally use the bath the next day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Open a window if you can
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Common questions in Hartley Mauditt

What do you need from me?

Photos of the damage, a photo of the entire bath and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

How quickly can you book me in?

That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.

What does bath repair cost?

Repairs from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You will get a fixed figure before booking.

I tried a repair kit. Can you fix it?

Yes. We remove the old filler and start again. Tell us about it when you send photos.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.

Can you repair a chip on a coloured bath?

Yes. The colour is mixed on site to suit your bath, including pastel and older colours.

Will you leave a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.

Can you repair a hole in a bath?

Often, if there is access underneath. The hole is backed, filled and refinished to match.

Why repair rather than replace?

People frequently assume a cracked or chipped bath has to come out. In most cases it doesn’t: a repair keeps the bath in service for years, without the cost and upheaval of replacing it. Prices start from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book, with nothing added on the day.
