Bath repair in Holme Lacy

What a repair can’t fix

We will not take on work that will not last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:

  • Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we cannot get to from below
  • Metal that has corroded all the way through
  • A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

Materials we work on in Holme Lacy

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

How we handle bath repair in Holme Lacy

It pays to repair bath damage while it’s small. On steel and cast iron, exposed metal starts to rust, while cracks in acrylic grow each time the bath moves. A repair stops both. Common call-outs are for chips under the taps and a cracked acrylic bath, across cast iron enamel, roll-top & freestanding and whirlpool & spa baths.

We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed price from photos. This is what makes a difference:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • The type of damage
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Whether we combine several jobs

Set against the cost of replacement, repairing usually costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Getting a price from photos

Phone pictures are fine. Just make sure we can see:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A wider photo showing the whole bath
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Details of any past repairs

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire bath, we can give you a fixed quote without visiting.

Repairing versus replacing in Holme Lacy

A new bath brings a chain of other jobs: the tiles sitting on the rim tend to break, the panel may not fit the new one, and a plumber has to disconnect and reconnect everything. A repair skips all of it. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.

Why book with us

  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited

Take a look at our full price list and bath cost comparison.

Repairs by material

Composite and resin

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

Cast iron

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

Signs you need bath repair in Holme Lacy

A bath gets knocked about more than you’d think: everyday items get dropped into it all the time, and fittings press hard against the enamel. Sooner or later, most baths pick up a chip.

The things customers normally mention when they call include:

  • A cracked acrylic bath
  • A chip where the taps sit
  • Chips along the edge of the bath
  • Holes from dropped items

What to look for in a quote

  • How the room is protected while they work
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • Whether the price covers travel
  • A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included

Choosing a repair company

How the visit works

From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes a morning or an afternoon, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. We protect the bath and the floor around it.
  2. The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased.
  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, usually the day after.

Preparing for the visit

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

How to get a price

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures using our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

Will the repair show?

Should I try a DIY kit first?

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
