Bath repair in High Hurstwood

Bath repair at your home in High Hurstwood

Most of our bath repairs take a few hours, and you can generally bathe again the following day. You will not need a plumber or tiler, because nothing is disconnected. Our technicians work on whirlpool & spa baths, acrylic and pressed steel enamel, and people most frequently call us about a chip where the taps sit and a cracked acrylic bath.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

For landlords and businesses

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Swapping a damaged bath for a new one usually means a plumber, removing the old bath, making good the tiles and panel and getting rid of the old bath. A repair deals only with the damage in one visit. Our bath repair starts from £95. We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Keeping it looking good

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:

  • Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
  • Rinse it down after each bath
  • Put a towel in the bath if you are working above it
  • Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath

Give the repair the full curing time we recommend before running a bath. After that, gentle cleaning keeps it looking good.

If an acrylic bath has a crack, stop showering in it until it’s repaired. Each time it flexes, the crack grows, and it can start to leak underneath.

How it works

Arrival times are agreed in advance. Once we’re there, the work takes a morning or an afternoon. We leave the room clean.

  1. We start by cleaning the damage and taking out loose enamel and rust.
  2. The chip or crack is filled, then sanded level with the bath.
  3. The colour is mixed on the spot to match your bath.
  4. Finish coats go on, then the repair is polished to blend in.
  5. Once it has cured, normally by the following day, the bath is ready to use.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated

When we’d advise against a repair

To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair will not fix:

  • Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
  • Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
  • A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.

What we work on

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

Different materials, different repairs

Composite and resin

Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, in much the same way.

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

Is my repair covered?

What bath repair costs

Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from photos. These are the things that affect it:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The material
  • How much damage there is
  • Access to the area

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Getting a price from photos

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • A photo taken from further back

To get a price, send two or three pictures through our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

Common problems we fix in High Hurstwood

Heavy toiletries are the biggest single cause of chips, with dropped shower heads close behind. Taps and wastes cause problems too: water sits around them, and any chip there soon rusts.

People typically call us after spotting one of these:

  • Impact holes in acrylic
  • Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
  • Chips on the rim or sides
  • A kit repair that didn’t last

Questions to ask before you book

  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
  • Aftercare advice
