Aftercare tips

Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:

  • Do not scrub with anything abrasive
  • Do not leave razors or cans standing in the bath
  • Do not leave a fresh chip for long
  • Cover the bath during DIY or decorating

Leave the repair to cure for as long as we say before using the bath. After that, gentle cleaning keeps it looking good.

If water is getting through a crack, stop using the bath until it’s repaired. Water under the bath can damage the floor and the ceiling below.

How we handle bath repair in Hillington

Repairing baths is what we do most. A chip by the taps, a crack in the base and a rust spot by the plughole are all fixed without removing the bath, normally in one visit. Typical jobs include rust by the waste and overflow and a cracked acrylic bath, on acrylic, pressed steel enamel and cast iron enamel.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

What affects the price in Hillington

Repairs from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • What the surface is made of
  • The type of damage
  • Whether we combine several jobs

Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

How to get a fixed price

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Try to send:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Details of any past repairs

To get a price, send a couple of photos through our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

What your bath is made of matters

Composite and resin

Composite baths are dense and solid, and frequently freestanding. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, just like other baths.

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

Choosing a repair company

Hillington questions

Is there a call-out fee?

No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.

What happens after I send photos?

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

What information do you need?

Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.

How soon can you come?

We’ll give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.

How long before I can use the bath?

Normally within a day, though it depends on what we’ve done.

Can you repair a failed DIY repair?

Regularly. The old material comes out, any rust is treated, then we repair it properly.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Hillington

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

If you manage property in Hillington, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send photos for each address and we’ll price them together.

The process

There’s not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will get on with it. The job generally runs to two to three hours for most chips, including clearing up.

  1. Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
  2. We clean, key and degrease the damage, and any rust is treated.
  3. Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
  4. Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
  5. We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the day after.

Preparing for the visit

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated

Ask for a price

Email us pictures of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you’re in Hillington, and we will reply with a fixed price.

Related advice

Should I try a DIY kit first?

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

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

Why repair rather than replace?

A repair makes sense whenever the damage is localised. It’s a fraction of the cost of a new bath and fitting, it takes one visit, and nothing else in the room changes. Our bath repair starts from £95. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Why us?

  • Fixed prices from your photos
  • No extra charge for your area
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • A year’s guarantee on all work
