How to look after the repair

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

  • Make sure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
  • Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
  • Don’t scrub with anything abrasive
  • Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby

In the first few days, avoid putting weight or bottles on the repair. After that, normal gentle cleaning is fine without abrasive products.

A small chip is a quick job. Left alone, they stain and can rust, so it’s worth getting them done early.

How we handle bath repair in Hook

Most of our bath repairs take a few hours, and you can normally bathe again the day after. There is no need to book a plumber or tiler, because nothing is disconnected. Common call-outs are for chips caused by builders and impact holes in acrylic, in roll-top & freestanding, acrylic and pressed steel enamel.

Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before booking.

When a repair isn’t the answer

In fairness, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:

  • Metal that has corroded all the way through
  • Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we can’t get to from below
  • A whole bath that is dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before you book.

Materials we work on in Hook

  • Cast iron enamel

Your questions about bath repair in Hook

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Typically, yes. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.

Is a bath repair permanent?

A properly prepared repair should last a long time, and it’s guaranteed for a year. Gentle cleaning helps it last.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.

Can rust on a bath be repaired?

Yes. We remove the rust and loose enamel, fill the area, then colour-match the finish.

What happens next?

We review the pictures and send a fixed quote.

What happens if you find more damage?

Your quote covers the damage in the photos. If there’s more, we will tell you before starting.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

In nearly every case. If photos don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Composite and resin

Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour-matched, in much the same way.

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 is the part we put right.

How the visit works

There is 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. Most visits take two to three hours for most chips.

  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 mix the colour on the day to match your bath’s exact shade.
  4. We build up the finish and polish it into the surrounding enamel.
  5. Once it has cured, typically by the next day, the bath is ready to use.

How to prepare

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Open a window if you can
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

Ask for a price

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed price from photos. These are the things that affect it:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How many areas need work
  • The material and finish
  • How many items we do on one visit

The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

How to get a fixed quote

You can take the photos on your phone, there is no need for anything special. Just make sure we can see:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Any details about the material
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A photo taken from further back

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