How we handle bath repair in Hever

Most of our bath repairs take a few hours, and you can generally bathe again the day after. There is no need to book a plumber or tiler, because nothing is disconnected. We are frequently asked to fix damage done while the bathroom was being fitted and rust by the waste and overflow, in acrylic, pressed steel enamel and cast iron enamel.

Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

What your bath is made of matters

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are thick and very strong, finished with fired enamel. Chips can rust if left, but the bath itself lasts for generations, which makes it well worth repairing.

Acrylic

Acrylic baths are moulded sheet reinforced underneath. There’s no rust, but cracks, holes and scratches happen, and a crack only stays repaired if it’s supported underneath.

The process

You don’t need to empty the room. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and start once you are happy with the plan. Most jobs take a few hours, depending on the damage, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. We protect the bath and the floor around it.
  2. We clean, key and degrease the damage, and any rust is treated.
  3. Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
  4. We match both the colour and the shine.
  5. We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the day after.

Before we arrive

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Hever: your questions answered

What happens next?

You get a fixed price and available dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.

Will it make a mess?

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

What happens if you find more damage?

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

Do you come to Hever?

Yes. We work across the UK and come to Hever and the rest of Kent. Send photos and we’ll quote, 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.

Is there a guarantee?

All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.

How soon can you come?

That depends on our diary for your area. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.

Do you cover the entire of Kent?

Across the UK, and that includes Hever. Prices do not change with location.

DIY kit or professional repair?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.

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.

Aftercare tips

So the finish stays in good condition:

  • Don’t leave razors or cans standing in the bath
  • Give the bath a quick rinse after use
  • Check that an acrylic bath does not move when you stand in it
  • Get a dripping tap fixed promptly

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

A small chip is a quick job. Leave them and they collect dirt, stain and, on metal baths, rust, so early repair saves time and money.

What bath repair costs

Prices start from £95. There is no area surcharge for Hever. The price reflects:

  • How much damage there is
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • How many items we do on one visit

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking, with no extras added later.

How to get a fixed price

Phone photos are fine. Ensure they show:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire bath, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

Honest limits

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we cannot get to from below
  • Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
  • A whole bath that is dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before you book.

What we work on

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

Repair or replace in Hever?

Replacing a fitted bath normally involves a plumber, removing the old bath, making good the tiles and panel and disposing of the old one. Repairing it deals only with the damage in a single visit. Our bath repair starts from £95. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Why us?

  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • Repair technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • We leave the room as we found it
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
