Bath repair near Hartsholme

When we would advise against a repair

Not everything can be repaired, and we’ll tell you before we start. Repairs won’t solve:

  • A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
  • A whole bath that is dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
  • Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we can’t get to from below

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.

Surfaces we repair

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

About our bath repair in Hartsholme

A typical bath repair is a few hours’ work, and the bath is back in use the next day. You won’t need a plumber or tiler, because the bath does not move. Common call-outs are for a hole punched through by something heavy and a failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting, in pressed steel enamel, roll-top & freestanding and acrylic.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months in Hartsholme and everywhere else. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Before and after: a chipped, rust-stained bath around the plughole

How it works

When we visit, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job usually takes a few hours. We clean up when we are done and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
  2. The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased.
  3. Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
  4. Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
  5. We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, generally the day after.

How to prepare

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Related advice

Should I try a DIY kit first?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

What affects the price in Hartsholme

Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Access to the area

Compared with replacing, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Send pictures for a quote

Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Try to send:

  • Any details about the material
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

For a price in Hartsholme, the easiest route is photos: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

Common questions in Hartsholme

I tried a repair kit. Can you fix it?

Yes, we do this often. We strip it out, deal with any rust and repair it again.

Do I have to be there?

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

Do you repair coloured baths?

Yes, coloured baths are no problem. The colour is tinted by hand on the day.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.

Can you price it without visiting?

Nearly always. If photos don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

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

Normally, yes. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send pictures.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

Are you a vetted contractor?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

Looking after it afterwards

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Put a towel in the bath if you’re working above it
  • Store metal items away from the bath
  • Don’t scrub with anything abrasive
  • Give the bath a quick rinse after use

Care for the repair the same way as the bath: warm water, washing-up liquid and a soft cloth. Keep scouring pads and gritty cleaners away from it.

Stop using the bath if a crack lets water through until it’s repaired. Leaks under a bath can damage floors and ceilings.

Repairs by material

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are thick and very strong, with a fused enamel surface. Chips can rust if left, but the body of the bath lasts a very long time, so it’s always worth repairing.

Pressed steel

Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.

Do you need bath repair in Hartsholme?

The usual cause is something heavy dropped into the bath, and a lot happen during bathroom refits. Acrylic baths crack for a different reason: the bath isn’t properly supported, so it flexes under weight.

Clients typically contact us about:

  • A kit repair that didn’t last
  • Holes from dropped items
  • Deep scratches in acrylic
  • Rusty patches near the plughole

Questions to ask before you book

  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • How your room will be protected
  • What happens if they find more damage
