Bath repair in Hew Green, done in place

Whatever has happened to the bath, we aim for the same result: a repair that is smooth, sound and hard to spot. Proper preparation, careful filling and shaping, then colour and gloss matching so it sits flush with the rest of the bath. We are often asked to fix chips caused by builders and scratches you can feel with a fingernail, in whirlpool & spa baths, acrylic and pressed steel enamel.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we will sort it.

How we price bath repair

Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Hew Green. The price reflects:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • What the surface is made of
  • How much damage there is

A repair typically costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

How to get a fixed price

Two or three clear photos are usually enough. Try to include:

  • One picture of the whole bath
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.

When a repair isn’t the answer

Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits too:

  • Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
  • A steel bath rusted through
  • Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we can’t get to from below

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

Materials we repair

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

Should you replace it?

Many people think a damaged bath means a new one. Generally it doesn’t: a proper repair gives it years more use, and costs far less than the disruption of a replacement. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Compared with replacing, repairing usually costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

What you get with us

  • Work done at your home or business
  • No extra charge for your area
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited

DIY repairs versus a professional job

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

Questions from Hew Green

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and you will get one combined price.

What happens next?

We look at the photos and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.

Can you fix rust around the plughole?

Yes. We remove the rust and loose enamel, fill the area, then colour-match the finish.

Is there a call-out fee?

No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Can pets and children be at home?

Just keep them out of the work area. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.

How do I get a price for bath repair in Hew Green?

Repairs from £95. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Will you leave a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.

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

Typically, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.

When to call us in Hew Green

Dropped items cause the majority of chips, and a lot happen during bathroom refits. Cracks in acrylic have a different cause: poor support underneath, so the bath flexes when it’s full.

Look out for these signs:

  • Chips under the taps
  • An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
  • Chips on the rim or sides
  • A hole punched through by something heavy

Questions to ask before you book

  • How to care for the finish
  • How the colour is matched
  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included

Choosing a repair company

What happens on the day

Here’s how a visit usually runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and tidy away. Allow a few hours from start to finish. Before we go, we will explain how long to leave it and how to look after it.

  1. First, we check the damage against your pictures and agree the plan.
  2. Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
  3. We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
  4. The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
  5. Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.

How to prepare

  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Advice

How to look after the repair

It’s all simple stuff:

  • Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
  • Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
  • Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
  • Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas

Treat the repaired area like the rest of the bath: a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs. Avoid scourers and gritty cream cleaners.

Rust spreads under enamel faster than most people expect. Left for months, a small chip can grow into a large rust patch, so early repair keeps the cost down.

Work for landlords and builders

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.

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we will arrange it.
