Bath repair in Holy Vale

How we handle bath repair in Holy Vale

We repair just the damaged spot and colour-match it to the bath, which costs far less than replacing a fitted bath and the tiles around it. Most baths can be used again the next day. Our repair technicians work on whirlpool & spa baths, acrylic and roll-top & freestanding, and people most often call us about a hole punched through by something heavy and chips along the edge of the bath.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

What affects the price in Holy Vale

Prices start from £95. There is no area surcharge for Holy Vale. What changes the price is:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The colour and finish to match

Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Quotes from your photos

Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:

  • One picture of the whole bath
  • The material, if you know it
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Details of any past repairs

Send us pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Holy Vale, and we will reply with a fixed price.

Common problems we fix in Holy Vale

Heavy toiletries are the biggest single cause of chips. Fittings cause damage too: water sits around them, and any chip there soon rusts.

Look out for any of the following:

  • A chipped rim or side
  • Damage beneath the taps
  • Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
  • Scratches you can feel with a fingernail

Questions to ask before booking

  • How to care for the finish
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • When it can be used again
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?

10 questions to ask before booking

For landlords and businesses

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

For anyone letting property in or around Holy Vale, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send pictures for each address and we will price them together.

Different materials, different repairs

Pressed steel

Steel baths are lighter than cast iron, but have a similar enamel surface. Chips rust quickly on steel, especially around the waste, so early repairs matter.

Acrylic

Acrylic baths are moulded sheet reinforced underneath. There’s no rust, but cracks, holes and scratches happen, and a crack only stays repaired if it’s supported underneath.

Holy Vale: your questions answered

How quickly can you book me in?

That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.

Is my repair covered?

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

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Of course, and it normally saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you will get one combined price.

How do I get a price for bath repair in Holy Vale?

Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Do you repair coloured baths?

Yes, we match coloured baths too. We tint the finish to your bath on site.

Is there any odour?

A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.

What happens if you find more damage?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.

How long before I can use the bath?

Usually within a day, though it depends on what we have done.

What we cannot put right

Not everything can be repaired, and we would rather say so up front. We can’t fix:

  • A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
  • Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
  • Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before booking.

Materials we work on in Holy Vale

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

How the visit works

On the day, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take a morning or an afternoon. We clean up when we are done and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. We start by cleaning the damage and taking out loose enamel and rust.
  2. We fill the damage and sand it flush with the surrounding surface.
  3. We tint the finish on the day to suit your bath’s shade of white or colour.
  4. Finish coats go on, then the repair is polished to blend in.
  5. The repair is left to cure, and most baths can be used the day after.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated

Getting a price

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire bath, add your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

Keeping it looking good

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
  • Make sure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
  • Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
  • Put a towel in the bath if you’re working above it

Leave the repair to cure for as long as we say before running a bath. From then on, mild cleaning is all it needs.

If an acrylic bath has a crack, stop showering in it until it’s repaired. Every use opens the crack a little more, and water can get through to the floor below.
