Bath repair in Hartlington without replacing anything

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, typically in a single visit. Whether it’s rust spots around the plughole and impact holes in acrylic, we can typically put it right.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re not left on your own once we have gone.

Repair or replace: which is better?

When the bath is otherwise sound, repairing beats replacing. It costs less, takes less time and causes far less upheaval, and you keep the bath you chose. If the whole surface is worn, re-enamelling may make more sense, and we’ll tell you. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.

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.

Common questions in Hartlington

What happens after I send photos?

We review the photos and send a fixed quote.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. If there is more, we’ll tell you before starting.

Which areas do you work in?

We work UK-wide, and that includes Hartlington. Prices don’t change with location.

How quickly can you book me in?

Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners in Hartlington.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.

Does someone need to be in?

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

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Typically, yes. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.

When to call us in Hartlington

Acrylic baths that crack nearly always have a support problem. Legs that are not adjusted, a missing cradle or a soft floor let the base flex until the acrylic gives way.

The most common problems we are called about are:

  • Chips on the rim or sides
  • Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
  • Rusty patches near the plughole
  • Damage beneath the taps

What your quote should include

  • Aftercare advice
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price

How to compare quotes

Honest limits

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we cannot get to from below
  • Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
  • A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense

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

Materials we work on in Hartlington

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

What we do, step by step

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and clear up. Plan for a few hours, depending on the damage. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
  2. We clean, key and degrease the damage, and any rust is treated.
  3. Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
  4. We match both the colour and the shine.
  5. We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, typically the next day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Getting a price

Send us a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your BD23 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

Looking after it afterwards

Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:

  • Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
  • Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
  • Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
  • Give the bath a quick rinse after use

Give the repair the full curing time we recommend before using the bath. After that, gentle cleaning keeps it looking good.

A chip on a metal bath shouldn’t be left. Once water reaches the metal, rust begins, turning a quick repair into a bigger one.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Hartlington

For anyone letting property in or around Hartlington, we will quote for several properties at once. Just send pictures for each address and we’ll come back with a combined price.

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.
