Trusted bath repair in Hood Hill

Bath repair in Hood Hill, done in place

We repair enamelled steel, cast iron and acrylic baths. The method changes with the material: rust is treated on metal baths, while cracks in acrylic are reinforced from underneath. Whether it’s a kit repair that didn’t last and rust by the waste and overflow, we can typically put it right, on cast iron enamel, acrylic and roll-top & freestanding alike.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are not left on your own once we’ve gone.

Should you replace it?

Replacing a fitted bath typically means a plumber, lifting out the old bath, making good the tiles and panel and getting rid of the old bath. A repair deals only with the damage in one visit. Prices start from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before booking, with nothing added on the day.

10 questions to ask before you book

How the visit works

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you’re not left guessing. On site, it takes two to three hours for most chips for most jobs. We leave the room clean and ready to use once it has cured.

  1. Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
  2. We clean, key and degrease the damage.
  3. Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
  4. We match both the colour and the shine.
  5. We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the day after.

How to prepare

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Open a window if you can

How to get a price

You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

Landlord and trade work in Hood Hill

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Hood Hill use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it typically costs far less than a refit.

DIY kit or professional repair?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

How we price bath repair

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

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • What the surface is made of
  • The colour and finish to match
  • How easy the damage is to reach

Compared with replacing, repairing generally costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Send photos for a quote

Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • One picture of the whole bath

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and no obligation.

How to look after the repair

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

  • Do not leave a fresh chip for long
  • Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
  • Give the bath a quick rinse after use
  • A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early

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. Each time it flexes, the crack grows, and it can start to leak underneath.

Repairs by material

Cast iron

A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that’s the part we put right.

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
