About our bath repair in Hawk Green

A typical bath repair is a few hours’ work, and the bath is back in use the following day. There’s no need to book a plumber or tiler, because nothing is disconnected. If you’re dealing with chips along the edge of the bath and hairline or through cracks in acrylic, we can typically put it right, whatever the material.

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

Hawk Green questions

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.

How long does the repair take to cure?

Normally by the following day, though it depends on what we’ve done.

Is repairing better than replacing?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

Can you price it without visiting?

In nearly every case. If photos do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.

How do I get a price for bath repair in Hawk Green?

Prices start from £95. Every job gets a fixed price from your photos. Send a close-up and a photo of the whole item with your SK6 postcode.

Is a bath repair permanent?

Done properly, a repair lasts for years, and it’s guaranteed for a year. Gentle cleaning helps it last.

Can pets and children be at home?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.

Is there a guarantee?

Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Signs you need bath repair in Hawk Green

10 questions to ask before booking

Why repair rather than replace?

Cast iron baths especially are worth keeping: getting one out, particularly from an upstairs bathroom, is a big job, and a like-for-like replacement can be expensive. A repair keeps it in place. Prices start from £95. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Why us?

  • Usually one visit, start to finish
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • We leave the room as we found it
  • Everything repaired in place

See our prices page or bath cost comparison.

How to care for the repair

Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:

  • Put a towel in the bath if you are working above it
  • Do not leave a fresh chip for long
  • Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
  • Do not scrub with anything abrasive

A repaired bath needs no special treatment. Skip bleach and gritty creams and rinse after use.

Rust under enamel spreads surprisingly quickly. Left for months, a small chip can grow into a large rust patch, so it pays to deal with it early.

How we price bath repair

Prices start from £95. We price every job individually, from your photos. The main factors are:

  • How much damage there is
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You will see the full price before you book, with nothing added on the day.

How to get a fixed price

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

  • One picture of the whole bath
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Where you are, by postcode

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire bath, include your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

Honest limits

We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:

  • A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
  • Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
  • Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before booking.

Surfaces we repair

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

The process

Arrival times are agreed in advance. Once we’re there, the work takes two to three hours for most chips for most jobs. The room is left tidy and ready to use once it has cured.

  1. First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
  2. Next we fill the damage and sand it smooth and level.
  3. We mix the colour on the day to match your bath’s exact shade.
  4. We apply the finish coats and polish the repair so it blends in.
  5. The repair is left to cure, and most baths can be used the next day.

Before we arrive

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Getting a price

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.

Related advice

Different materials, different repairs

Cast iron

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

Composite and resin

Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid, and frequently freestanding. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour-matched, in much the same way.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Hawk Green

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Hawk Green as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it normally costs far less than a refit.
