Bath repair for Hawy homes

The process

We begin by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. Then the area is sheeted and masked and we start. You can expect it to take a few hours.

  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. We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to 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.

Before we arrive

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

How to get a price

There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

About our bath repair in Hawy

A typical bath repair is a few hours’ work, and you can normally bathe again the following day. You won’t need a plumber or tiler, because nothing is disconnected. If you’re dealing with chips along the edge of the bath and chips caused by builders, we can generally put it right, on roll-top & freestanding, cast iron enamel and whirlpool & spa baths alike.

All our work comes with our one-year guarantee.

Landlord and trade work in Hawy

For anyone letting property in or around Hawy, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send pictures for each one and we will price them together.

Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

Aftercare tips

Nothing complicated is needed:

  • Have new chips seen to early
  • Put a towel in the bath if you are working above it
  • Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
  • Rinse it down after each bath

For the first few days, keep heavy bottles off the repaired spot. After that, clean it as you would the rest of the bath without abrasive products.

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

Different materials, different repairs

Pressed steel

Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. 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. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

What a repair can’t fix

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
  • A whole bath that’s dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
  • A steel bath rusted through

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

Materials we repair

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

FAQs for Hawy

Can you repair a hole in a bath?

Usually. Photos of the hole and the underside help us check.

Do you do work for letting agents?

We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

How do I book?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

What about rust by the waste?

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.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.

Will the repair last?

Yes, if it’s prepared properly and the bath is sound. It’s covered by our one-year guarantee.

Is a repair better than a new one?

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

What areas do you cover?

All of Powys, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.

What bath repair costs

Prices start from £95. There’s no area surcharge for Hawy. The price reflects:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The material and finish
  • How easy the damage is to reach

Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Hawy. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Send photos for a quote

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

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • One picture of the entire bath
  • Details of any past repairs
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed price without visiting.

What we are called out for in Hawy

Acrylic baths that crack nearly always have a support problem. Legs that aren’t adjusted, a missing cradle or a soft floor let the base flex.

People usually call us when they notice one of these:

  • A cracked acrylic bath
  • Rusty patches near the plughole
  • Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
  • A failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting

Questions to ask before you book

  • Aftercare advice
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • What preparation is included
  • How soon you can use it again

How to compare quotes

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
