About our bath repair in Hedgerley

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 repaired in place, usually in a single visit. Whether it’s holes from dropped items and chips along the edge of the bath, we can help.

You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there is a problem and we’ll come back.

When we would advise against a repair

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
  • A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
  • Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

Materials we repair

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

Different materials, different repairs

Pressed steel

Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.

Cast iron

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

Common questions in Hedgerley

I rent my home. Can I book you?

We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just make sure the landlord agrees.

What do you need from me?

Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we will do the rest.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

Do you charge for travel?

We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.

Can you price it without visiting?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.

Is a holed acrylic bath repairable?

Typically, yes, if we can reach behind it. We back the hole, fill it and refinish the surface.

Can landlords book you?

We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Do you repair coloured baths?

Yes, we match coloured baths too. We tint the finish to your bath on site.

What we’re called out for in Hedgerley

Rust tends to begin where water collects, around the waste, under the taps or in an old chip. Water on bare metal causes rust that creeps under the surrounding enamel.

Signs it’s time to call us include:

  • Rusty patches near the plughole
  • A chip where the taps sit
  • Chips along the edge of the bath
  • Chips caused by builders

Our hiring checklist

Landlords, agents and businesses in Hedgerley

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

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.

How it works

On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take a few hours. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  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 the surface dry out before the visit
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

Getting a price

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

Advice

Repairing versus replacing in Hedgerley

Replacing a fitted bath normally involves a plumber, lifting out the old bath, re-tiling and a new panel and disposing of the old one. A repair fixes just the damaged area in one visit. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Why us?

  • A fixed quote before booking
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK

DIY kit or professional repair?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.

Aftercare tips

Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:

  • Don’t leave a fresh chip for long
  • Rinse it down after each bath
  • Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
  • Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale

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

Stop using the bath if a crack lets water through until it’s repaired. Water under the bath can damage the floor and the ceiling below.
