Questions from Hog Hatch

How do I book?

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

Can you repair a hole in a bath?

Generally. Send us a picture of the hole and one from under the bath if you can.

Can tenants book a repair?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

Do you cover the whole of Surrey?

The whole UK, including all of Surrey. Just include your postcode and we will offer you dates.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

When can I have a bath again?

Most baths can be used the following day. We confirm the time before we leave.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.

What affects the price in Hog Hatch

Prices start from £95. There is no charge for travel to Hog Hatch. The price depends on:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • What the surface is made of
  • How many areas need work
  • Access to the area

The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book, with nothing added on the day.

Send pictures for a quote

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Any details about the material

To get a price, send two or three pictures using our quote form or ring us. We’ll say immediately whether it can be repaired.

What happens on the day

On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll take it from there. The job generally runs to a few hours, depending on the damage, tidy-up included.

  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 tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, generally the day after.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

How to get a price

Send us a picture of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Hog Hatch, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

Advice

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Acrylic

An acrylic bath is a moulded sheet strengthened from below. They do not rust, but they can crack, scratch or be holed, and a crack only stays repaired if it’s supported underneath.

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are thick and very strong, with a fused enamel surface. Chips can rust if left, but the body of the bath lasts a very long time, so it’s always worth repairing.

Can I fix it myself?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.

Common problems we fix in Hog Hatch

Rust tends to begin where water collects, by the plughole, beneath dripping taps or in an unrepaired chip. Once water reaches the steel or iron, rust spreads under the enamel.

These are the problems we’re asked about most:

  • Impact holes in acrylic
  • A failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting
  • A chipped rim or side
  • A cracked acrylic bath

What to look for in a quote

  • What happens if they find more damage
  • How your room will be protected
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • What prep work is covered

Choosing a repair company

When a repair is not the answer

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

  • Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
  • Metal that has corroded all the way through
  • Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)

Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.

Materials we repair

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

Why repair rather than replace?

Many people think a damaged bath means a new one. Generally it does not: a repair keeps the bath in service for years, and costs far less than the disruption of a replacement. Our bath repair starts from £95. A repair typically costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Why us?

  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • No need to remove anything
  • Same prices wherever you are

Keeping it looking good

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:

  • Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
  • Do not scrub with anything abrasive
  • Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
  • Don’t leave razors or cans standing in the bath

A repaired bath needs no special treatment, just sensible cleaning. Avoid bleach-based and gritty cleaners and give it a rinse after each bath.

A chip on a metal bath shouldn’t be left. Water gets to the metal and rust starts, and a rust spot is a bigger repair than a clean chip.
