Bath repair near Headley Down

Bath repair in Headley Down, done in place

We repair just the damaged spot and colour-match it to the bath, which costs far less than replacing a fitted bath. You can typically use the bath the next day. We regularly repair roll-top & freestanding, acrylic and cast iron enamel, and the jobs we see most are chips on the rim or sides and damage beneath the taps.

We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Aftercare tips

Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:

  • Have new chips seen to early
  • Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
  • Give the bath a quick rinse after use
  • Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale

Use gentle, non-abrasive cleaners and try not to drop heavy bottles on the repair. Get any new chip seen to quickly, before rust sets in.

Stop using the bath if a crack lets water through until it’s repaired. Leaks under a bath can damage floors and ceilings.

Can I fix it myself?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

How it works

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you are not left guessing. Once we are there, the work takes a few hours, depending on the damage in most cases. The room is left tidy and ready to use once it has cured.

  1. First, we check the damage against your photos and agree the plan.
  2. Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
  3. The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
  4. We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
  5. Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.

Preparing for the visit

Advice

Landlords, agents and businesses in Headley Down

Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

How we price bath repair

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

  • How much damage there is
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • What kind of damage it is
  • How hard the colour is to match

The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Quotes from your photos

Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:

  • Any details about the material
  • A wider photo showing the whole bath
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Something in shot to show the size

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, add your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

Questions from Headley Down

Is a cracked acrylic bath repairable?

Generally, 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.

Do the materials smell?

There can be some smell while we work. It fades as everything cures.

Do you cover Headley Down?

We do. Repair technicians travel to Headley Down from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted.

Is it messy?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote and the next dates we have.

How soon can you come?

We’ll give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.

Will the price change on the day?

We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

What your bath is made of matters

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that is what we repair.

Pressed steel

Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.

What we’re called out for in Headley Down

Most bath damage comes from something dropped: a shampoo bottle, a shower head, a tile or a tool during a refit. On enamelled baths, any chip down to the metal will start to rust.

Common reasons people in Headley Down contact us are:

  • Scuffs and scratches in the surface
  • Snagging damage from a refit
  • A hole punched through by something heavy
  • Hairline or through cracks in acrylic

Questions to ask before you book

  • How the room is protected while they work
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
  • What prep work is covered
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match

Our hiring checklist

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing a bath rarely stops at the bath: tiles along the rim usually crack when it comes out, the panel may not fit the new one, and the plumbing has to be disconnected and refitted. A repair skips all of it. Prices start from £95. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before you book, with nothing added on the day.

Why us?

  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • A fixed quote before you book
  • No need to remove anything
