Bath repair in Havyatt

Bath repair at your home in Havyatt

Small damage on a bath is worth repairing early. Exposed metal on enamelled baths soon rusts, while cracks in acrylic grow each time the bath moves. Repairing it stops the damage getting worse. Whether it’s impact holes in acrylic and chips under the taps, we can help, whatever the material.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

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

Keeping it looking good

How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Rinse it down after each bath
  • Do not scrub with anything abrasive
  • Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
  • Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth

Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and try not to drop heavy bottles on the repair. Get any new chip seen to quickly, before rust can start.

Rust under enamel spreads surprisingly quickly. Left for months, a small chip can grow into a large rust patch, so early repair keeps the cost down.

Work for landlords and builders

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, pictures and access details and we’ll arrange it.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Somerset and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Pressed steel

Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

Choosing a repair company

What bath repair costs

Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:

  • Access to the area
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Doing more than one item at once

A repair usually costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Any details about the material
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

We price from pictures so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.

Repairing versus replacing in Havyatt

Many people think a damaged bath means a new one. Normally it doesn’t: a repair keeps the bath in service for years, without the cost and upheaval of replacing it. Our bath repair starts from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Why book with us

  • Fixed prices from your photos
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • A year’s guarantee on all work

See our prices page or resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.

What happens on the day

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you know when to expect us. On site, it takes a morning or an afternoon for most jobs. The room is left tidy.

  1. We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
  2. Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
  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. Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated

Advice

Can I fix it myself?

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
