Bath repair in Haylands

What affects the price in Haylands

Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Haylands. What changes the price is:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Whether we combine several jobs

We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

How to get a fixed price

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Try to send:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A picture taken from further back
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.

Bath repair in Haylands without replacing anything

Repairing baths is what we do most. Chips on the rim, rust around the waste and cracks in acrylic are all repaired in place, normally in a single visit. We work on roll-top & freestanding, acrylic and whirlpool & spa baths, and the jobs we see most are a hole punched through by something heavy and rust spots around the plughole.

Every job is backed for twelve months in Haylands and everywhere else. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Questions from Haylands

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.

How much does bath repair cost in Haylands?

Prices start from £95. We give a fixed price from your pictures. Send a close-up and a picture of the whole item and your postcode.

Do you work in Haylands?

Yes, we do. Repair technicians travel to Haylands from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.

Will you leave a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.

Is a cracked acrylic bath repairable?

Usually, yes, as long as we can get to the back of the crack to support it. Check under the bath panel, or send us a photo.

Is a bath repair durable?

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

Do you hold any accreditations?

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

Honest limits

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • Wear across the entire surface, which needs re-enamelling
  • Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we can’t get to from below
  • Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before booking.

What we work on

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

Materials and what they mean for the repair

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.

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.

Keeping it looking good

Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:

  • Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
  • Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
  • Make sure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
  • Don’t leave a fresh chip for long

In the first few days, avoid putting weight or bottles on the repair. After that, clean it as you would the rest of the bath, avoiding abrasives.

Until we visit, a strip of waterproof tape over the damage helps, to keep water out. Take it off before we arrive.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

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

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

  • A chip where the taps sit
  • Holes from dropped items

Our hiring checklist

What happens on the day

Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so you know exactly what we are doing. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and the work begins. It normally takes a few hours.

  1. We start by cleaning the damage and taking out loose enamel and rust.
  2. Next we fill the damage and sand it smooth and level.
  3. We tint the finish on the day to suit your bath’s shade of white or colour.
  4. We apply the finish coats and polish the repair so it blends in.
  5. We leave it to cure; you can usually use the bath the next day.

How to prepare

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
