Repair or replace in Hill Grove?

A new bath costs more than the bath itself: taking out the old one, plumbing, tiling, a panel and redecorating. A repair is one job, done in one visit. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.

What you get with us

  • One visit for most repairs
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • We leave the room as we found it

What we do, step by step

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a few hours, depending on the damage. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.

  1. Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
  2. The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased.
  3. We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
  4. Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
  5. We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, normally the next day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Clear the area around the damage

Hill Grove: your questions answered

Do you come to Hill Grove?

Yes. We cover the entire UK and travel to Hill Grove. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.

I tried a repair kit. Can you fix it?

Yes. We take out the old repair and do it properly. Tell us about it when you send photos.

Can a cracked acrylic bath be fixed?

In most cases. The back of the crack is strengthened before the front is filled and refinished, so access behind the panel is important.

Do you charge for travel?

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

Is a bath repair permanent?

A properly prepared repair should last a long time, and ours come with a one-year guarantee. Gentle cleaning helps.

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.

What areas do you cover?

Everywhere in the UK, Hill Grove included. Travel is included in the price.

What bath repair costs

Prices start from £95. There is no charge for travel to Hill Grove. The price comes down to:

  • The type of damage
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Whether we combine several jobs

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Getting a price from photos

When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • A wider photo showing the entire bath
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

DIY kit or professional repair?

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. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

When we’d advise against a repair

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

  • A steel bath rusted through
  • Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we cannot get to from below
  • Leaking fittings, which need a plumber

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

What we work on

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

How to care for the repair

Aftercare is simple:

  • Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
  • Give the bath a quick rinse after use
  • Have new chips seen to early
  • Check that an acrylic bath does not move when you stand in it

For the first few days, keep heavy bottles off the repaired spot. After that, normal gentle cleaning is fine.

Don’t leave a chip on a steel or cast iron bath. Once water reaches the metal, rust begins, turning a quick repair into a bigger one.

Repairs by material

Composite and resin

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

Acrylic

Acrylic baths are moulded sheet reinforced underneath. There’s no rust, but cracks, holes and scratches happen, and cracks need support from behind to stay fixed.

For landlords and businesses

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

For anyone letting property in or around Hill Grove, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send photos for each one and we will come back with a combined price.
