How we handle bath repair in Hill Side

Small damage on a bath is worth repairing early. Exposed metal on enamelled baths soon rusts, and on acrylic, a crack keeps spreading while the bath flexes. Repairing it stops the damage getting worse. Whether it’s rust spots around the plughole and a kit repair that didn’t last, we can generally put it right, whatever the material.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Hill Side: your questions answered

Is there a guarantee?

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

Can you quote from photos?

Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

Do I need to be at home?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Can landlords book you?

Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

How do I book?

Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we’ll do the rest.

Will the repair last?

Yes, if it’s prepared properly and the bath is sound. It’s covered by our one-year guarantee.

Can you repair a hole in a bath?

In most cases. Send us a photo of the hole and one from under the bath if you can.

Can I fix it myself?

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Hill Side

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Different materials, different repairs

Cast iron

Cast iron is heavy and rigid, finished with fired enamel. A chip down to the iron can rust, but the bath itself lasts for generations, so it’s always worth repairing.

Pressed steel

Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.

Do you need bath repair in Hill Side?

Rust tends to begin where water collects, by the plughole, beneath dripping taps or in an unrepaired chip. Water on bare metal causes rust that creeps under the surrounding enamel.

Look out for any of the following:

  • Rust spots around the plughole
  • Chips caused by builders
  • Chips along the edge of the bath
  • A kit repair that didn’t last

What your quote should include

  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • How the colour is matched
  • If travel is included in the price
  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included

How to compare quotes

How it works

Here’s how a visit normally runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and clear up. Allow two to three hours for most chips. Before we go, we will explain when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. First, we check the damage against your photos 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. We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
  5. The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.

Before we arrive

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

Getting a price

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.

Looking after it afterwards

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

  • If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
  • Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
  • Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
  • Clean with warm water and a mild detergent

Do not leave razors, cans or hair grips in the bath, as they can leave rust marks. A dripping tap should be fixed early, too.

Stop using the bath if a crack lets water through. Leaks under a bath can damage floors and ceilings.

Repair or replace: which is better?

When the bath is otherwise sound, repairing beats replacing. It costs less, takes less time and causes far less upheaval, and the bathroom stays as it is. If the whole surface is worn, re-enamelling may make more sense, and we’ll tell you. Prices start from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Why us?

  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • One visit for most repairs
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • A fixed quote before booking

How we price bath repair

Repairs from £95. You’ll know the full cost before booking. We look at:

  • What the surface is made of
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The type of damage
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Getting a price from pictures

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

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Any details about the material
  • One picture of the whole bath
  • Natural light rather than flash

We price from photos so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.
