For landlords and businesses

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

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Acrylic

An acrylic bath is a moulded sheet strengthened from below. There’s 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 the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.

How we price bath repair

Repairs from £95. We price every job individually, from your pictures. What matters most is:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Quotes from your photos

Most quotes are done from photos alone. To make it quick:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • The material, if you know it
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Details of any past repairs

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed price without visiting.

Common problems we fix in Hatton Heath

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

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

  • A chipped rim or side
  • An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
  • Chips caused by builders
  • Rusty patches near the plughole

What to look for in a quote

  • How soon you can use it again
  • Aftercare advice
  • Whether the price covers travel
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers

How it works

From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes a morning or an afternoon, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
  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. The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
  5. The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Clear the area around the damage

How to get a price

There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

Related advice

Your questions about bath repair in Hatton Heath

Do you do work for letting agents?

We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Do you come to Hatton Heath?

We do. Technicians travel to Hatton Heath from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.

Can you fix rust around the plughole?

Yes, it’s one of the most common repairs we do. The rust is cut back to clean metal and sealed before we fill and finish it.

Is a cracked acrylic bath repairable?

In most cases. We reinforce the crack from behind, then fill and refinish the front, so access behind the panel is important.

What happens next?

You get a fixed quote and available dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.

Can you repair a failed DIY repair?

Regularly. The old material comes out, any rust is treated, then we repair it properly.

Can you price it without visiting?

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

Will there be a smell?

There may be a mild smell during the work.

DIY kit or professional repair?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

Keeping it looking good

How the surface is treated afterwards matters:

  • Store metal items away from the bath
  • Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
  • Put a towel in the bath if you are working above it
  • Check that an acrylic bath does not move when you stand in it

Do not leave razors, cans or hair grips in the bath, because they can mark the enamel. A dripping tap should be fixed early, too.

A chip on a metal bath shouldn’t be left. Water gets to the metal and rust starts, turning a quick repair into a bigger one.

What a repair can’t fix

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

  • Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
  • A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
  • Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we cannot get to from below
