Bath repair at your home in Hazlehead

A typical bath repair is a few hours’ work, and you can usually bathe again the next day. You will not need a plumber or tiler, because the bath does not move. Common call-outs are for chips along the edge of the bath and cracks in an acrylic bath, in cast iron enamel, roll-top & freestanding and pressed steel enamel.

Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before you book.

Repairs by material

Composite and resin

Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, just like other baths.

Cast iron

Cast iron is heavy and rigid, with a fused enamel surface. Chips can rust if left, but the body of the bath lasts a very long time, so it’s always worth repairing.

Your questions about bath repair in Hazlehead

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before.

How long does the repair take to cure?

Most baths can be used the next day. We’ll tell you the exact curing time when we finish.

How much does bath repair cost in Hazlehead?

Prices start from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You will get a fixed figure before booking.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.

Is my repair covered?

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.

What about rust by the waste?

Yes, very often. The rust is cut back to clean metal and sealed before we fill and finish it.

What happens if you find more damage?

If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.

What happens next?

We review the photos and send a fixed quote and the next dates we have.

Work for landlords and builders

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

Should you replace it?

For damage in one or two places, a repair is the obvious choice. It costs far less than a new bath plus fitting, it takes one visit, and the bathroom stays exactly as it is. Our bath repair starts from £95. We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures 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

  • We leave the room as we found it
  • A fixed quote before booking
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor

Do you need bath repair in Hazlehead?

Baths take more knocks than people expect: bottles, shower heads and razors are dropped every day, and fittings press hard against the enamel. Over time, chips and rust spots are almost inevitable.

Keep an eye out for any of the following:

  • Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
  • Rust by the waste and overflow
  • Scuffs and scratches in the surface
  • A failed DIY repair that is discoloured or lifting

What to look for in a quote

  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • When it can be used again
  • Aftercare advice
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges

What affects the price in Hazlehead

What happens on the day

On the day, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take two to three hours for most chips. We clean up when we are done and let you know when you can use it again.

  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 build up the finish and polish it into the surrounding enamel.
  5. Once it has cured, typically by the day after, the bath is ready to use.

Preparing for the visit

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Getting a price

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures using our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

Advice

DIY repairs versus a professional job

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, and the work is guaranteed.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.

Keeping it looking good

Looking after the surface is easy:

  • Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
  • Do not scrub with anything abrasive
  • Don’t leave razors or cans standing in the bath
  • Get any new chip repaired before it rusts

Treat the repaired area like the rest of the bath: warm water, washing-up liquid and a soft cloth. Keep scouring pads and gritty cleaners away from it.

Stop using the bath if a crack lets water through. Leaks under a bath can damage floors and ceilings.
