How we handle bath repair in Hazelwood

Repairing baths is what we do most. A chip by the taps, a crack in the base and a rust spot by the plughole are all fixed without removing the bath, generally in a single visit. If you are dealing with an old repair that has yellowed or come loose and impact holes in acrylic, we can help, whatever the material.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re not left on your own once we have gone.

When to call us in Hazelwood

Damage during fitting is very common. Tools, tiles and fittings get dropped into the bath, often before anyone notices. Snagging repairs like these are a regular job for us.

People typically call us after spotting something like this:

  • A chip where the taps sit
  • Chips on the rim or sides
  • A cracked acrylic bath
  • Chips caused by builders

Before you book anyone

  • What prep work is covered
  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • Who turns up on the day
  • How the colour is matched

Aftercare tips

Looking after the surface is easy:

  • Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
  • Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
  • Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
  • Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth

Leave the repair to cure for as long as we say before running a bath. After that, gentle cleaning keeps it looking good.

Rust under enamel spreads surprisingly quickly. Left for months, a small chip can grow into a large rust patch, so it pays to deal with it early.

How the visit works

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and get going once we have agreed what we are doing. It normally takes a morning or an afternoon, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  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. The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of 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.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Common questions in Hazelwood

Do you work in Hazelwood?

Yes. We work across the UK and come to Hazelwood and the rest of Kent. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Do I have to be there?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.

Will the repair show?

We aim for a repair you can’t easily find. How well it disappears depends on the condition of the rest of the bath.

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 picture.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Which areas do you work in?

We cover the entire UK, including Hazelwood and the rest of Kent. Just include your postcode and we’ll confirm dates.

Is a holed acrylic bath repairable?

Normally, yes, if we can reach behind it. The hole is backed, filled and refinished to match.

Do you repair coloured baths?

Yes. The colour is mixed on site to suit your bath, including pastel and older colours.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • The material
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How easy the damage is to reach

The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.

Getting a price from photos

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:

  • One picture of the entire bath
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Natural light rather than flash

For a price in Hazelwood, the easiest route is photos: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

Work for landlords and builders

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Hazelwood use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

Repair or replace in Hazelwood?

Cast iron baths in particular are worth repairing: getting one out, particularly from an upstairs bathroom, is a big job, and a like-for-like replacement can be expensive. Repairing it leaves it where it is. Our bath repair starts from £95. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

What you get with us

  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • Colour mixed on the day to match

Read our pricing and resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.

What a repair cannot fix

We would rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so these are the limits:

  • Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
  • Wear across the entire surface, which needs re-enamelling
  • Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before booking.

What we work on

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

Should I try a DIY kit first?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
