How we handle bath repair in Hazelslack

Whether your bath is steel, cast iron or acrylic, we can repair it. Each material is repaired a little differently: metal baths need any rust dealt with first, and acrylic cracks need support from behind. Typical jobs include chips on the rim or sides and rust spots around the plughole, on pressed steel enamel, whirlpool & spa baths and roll-top & freestanding.

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

When to call us in Hazelslack

A cracked acrylic bath usually wasn’t supported properly. Loose legs, no proper cradle or a floor that gives let the base flex until it cracks.

Send us a photo if you notice any of these:

  • Chips along the edge of the bath
  • Rusty patches near the plughole
  • Damage beneath the taps
  • Scuffs and scratches in the surface

Before booking anyone

  • What prep work is covered
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • How your room will be protected

Choosing a repair company

Looking after it afterwards

A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:

  • Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
  • Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
  • Store metal items away from the bath
  • Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale

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.

Rust under enamel spreads surprisingly quickly. Left for months, a small chip can grow into a large rust patch, so early repair keeps the cost down.

What we do, step by step

On the day, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job usually takes a few hours. We clean up when we are done and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. First, we check the damage against your pictures and agree the plan.
  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. We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
  5. The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.

Preparing for the visit

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Repairs by material

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

Pressed steel

Steel baths are lighter than cast iron, but have a similar enamel surface. Chips rust quickly on steel, particularly by the plughole, so repair chips early.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

How we price bath repair

Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:

  • How many areas need work
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

How to get a fixed price

Phone photos are fine. Make sure they show:

  • The material, if you know it
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos through our quote form or call us. We’ll say immediately whether it can be repaired.

Common questions in Hazelslack

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

Of course, and it typically saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you’ll get one combined price.

What do you need from me?

Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787.

Do I have to be there?

We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.

What areas do you cover?

We work UK-wide. Our prices are the same everywhere.

Can landlords book you?

We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Can you repair a crack in an acrylic bath?

In most cases. The back of the crack is strengthened before the front is filled and refinished, so we need access under the bath.

When can you do it?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.

Will there be a smell?

It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.

Work for landlords and builders

If you manage property in Hazelslack, we will quote for several properties at once. Just send photos for each address and we will come back with a combined price.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, pictures and access details and we will arrange it.

What a repair can’t fix

We will not take on work that will not last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:

  • Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
  • A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
  • Acrylic cracks with no access behind them

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.
