Bath repair in Hilderstone

Bath repair at your home in Hilderstone

A typical bath repair is a few hours’ work, and the bath is back in use the day after. There is no need to book a plumber or tiler, because the bath does not move. Our technicians work on cast iron enamel, roll-top & freestanding and whirlpool & spa baths, and the jobs we see most are chips under the taps and chips caused by builders.

Every job is backed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Your questions about bath repair in Hilderstone

Which areas do you work in?

The entire UK, including all of Staffordshire. Send your postcode with your photos and we’ll offer you dates.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just make sure the landlord agrees.

Can you redo an old repair?

Yes. We take out the old repair and do it properly. Mention it when you send pictures.

Is my repair covered?

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Of course, and it generally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.

What happens after I send pictures?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

How we price bath repair

Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • What kind of damage it is
  • How hard the colour is to match

What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Quotes from your photos

You can usually get a fixed quote without us visiting. To help us price it:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • The material, if you know it
  • Details of any past repairs

To get a price, send a couple of pictures through our quote form or ring us. We will say immediately whether it can be repaired.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

How to look after the repair

To keep it looking its best for years:

  • Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
  • Don’t leave razors or cans standing in the bath
  • Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
  • Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth

Keep metal objects like razors and cans off the surface, because they can mark the enamel. A dripping tap should be fixed early, too.

Tape over a fresh chip or crack until it’s repaired, to keep water out. Take it off before we arrive.

Repair or replace: which is better?

For damage in one or two places, a repair is the obvious choice. It’s a fraction of the cost of a new bath and fitting, it’s done in one visit, and the bathroom stays exactly as it is. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. 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 doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

What you get with us

  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK

Landlords, agents and businesses in Hilderstone

Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

What your bath is made of matters

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that’s the part we put right.

Pressed steel

Steel baths are lighter than cast iron, but have a similar enamel surface. Exposed steel rusts fast, especially around the waste, so early repairs matter.

What happens on the day

You do not need to empty the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we have agreed what we’re doing. Most jobs take two to three hours for most chips, and you can get on with other things while we are there.

  1. We start by cleaning the damage and taking out loose enamel and rust.
  2. Next we fill the damage and sand it smooth and level.
  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. We leave it to cure; you can usually use the bath the following day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Open a window if you can
  • Clear the area around the damage
