Bath repair at your home in Haywood

A typical bath repair is a few hours’ work, and you can generally bathe again the following day. There’s no need to book a plumber or tiler, because nothing is disconnected. We work on pressed steel enamel, acrylic and cast iron enamel, and the jobs we see most are impact holes in acrylic and a chipped rim or side.

You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there is a problem and we will come back.

Repairing versus replacing in Haywood

Swapping a damaged bath for a new one typically means a plumber, lifting out the old bath, making good the tiles and panel and disposing of the old one. Repairing it fixes just the damaged area in one visit. Prices start from £95. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before you book, with no extras added later.

Why us?

  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • A fixed quote before booking

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • The material
  • The type of damage

The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Quotes from your photos

Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • The material, if you know it
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Aftercare tips

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:

  • Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
  • Do not leave a fresh chip for long
  • Rinse it down after each bath
  • Do not scrub with anything abrasive

Don’t 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.

The process

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and clear up. Allow a morning or an afternoon. Before we go, we’ll explain how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
  2. The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased.
  3. We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
  4. Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
  5. We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the following day.

Before we arrive

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Advice

When to call us in Haywood

A bath gets knocked about more than you’d think: everyday items get dropped into it all the time, and fittings press hard against the enamel. Over time, chips and rust spots are almost inevitable.

People generally call us when they notice one of these:

  • An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
  • A chip where the taps sit
  • Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
  • Holes from dropped items

Questions to ask before booking

  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • How long it needs to cure
  • How your room will be protected
  • A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included

10 questions to ask before booking

For landlords and businesses

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is 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.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.

What we can’t put right

It helps to know what we can’t do too:

  • Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
  • A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
  • Cracks in acrylic we cannot reach from underneath

Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.

What we work on

  • Whirlpool & spa baths
  • Roll-top & freestanding
