How we handle bath repair in Hazel Street

Bath repair is our most common job. A chip by the taps, a crack in the base and a rust spot by the plughole are all repaired in place, normally in one visit. Whether it’s a kit repair that didn’t last and damage done while the bathroom was being fitted, we can usually put it right, on roll-top & freestanding, pressed steel enamel and whirlpool & spa baths alike.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we will sort it.

Repairs by material

Composite and resin

Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, in much the same way.

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

What affects the price in Hazel Street

Repairs from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Hazel Street. The price comes down to:

  • What the surface is made of
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Unusual colours or finishes

No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

How to get a fixed quote

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

  • A picture taken from further back
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

Signs you need bath repair in Hazel Street

Many chips happen while the bathroom is being fitted. Tools, tiles and fittings get dropped into the bath, often before anyone notices. We repair snagging damage like this regularly.

These are the problems we’re asked about most:

  • Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
  • A chip where the taps sit
  • Scuffs and scratches in the surface
  • A hole punched through by something heavy

What to look for in a quote

  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • How the room is protected while they work
  • Whether the price covers travel
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT

How to compare quotes

What we do, step by step

We begin by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and we start. Allow a few hours, depending on the damage, and we will keep you posted as we go.

  1. We protect the bath and the floor around it.
  2. The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased, and any rust is treated.
  3. We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
  4. Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
  5. We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, typically the next day.

How to prepare

  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

How to get a price

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.

Advice

Common questions in Hazel Street

Is there a call-out fee?

There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.

Do you work in Hazel Street?

We do. We send a technician to Hazel Street for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Can a cracked acrylic bath be fixed?

Usually, yes, as long as we can get to the back of the crack to support it. Take off the bath panel and check, or send us a picture.

Is it messy?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.

Is my repair covered?

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

I tried a repair kit. Can you fix it?

Yes, we do this often. The old material comes out, any rust is treated, then we repair it properly.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Typically, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

Can you quote from photos?

In nearly every case. If photos don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

When a repair isn’t the answer

Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, for example:

  • Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
  • A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
  • Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath

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

Surfaces we repair

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

Landlord and trade work in Hazel Street

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

Why repair rather than replace?

Swapping a damaged bath for a new one normally means a plumber, removing the old bath, making good the tiles and panel and disposing of the old one. Repairing it fixes just the damaged area in a single visit. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Compared with replacing, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Why book with us

  • One visit for most repairs
  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
