Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • How much damage there is
  • What kind of damage it is

Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Getting a price from photos

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

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • What it’s made of, if you know

Upload pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you are in Horsey, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

For landlords and businesses

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, photos and access details.

What we cannot put right

Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits:

  • A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
  • Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
  • Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we cannot get to from below

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

Materials we work on in Horsey

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

Looking after it afterwards

Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:

  • If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
  • Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
  • A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
  • Cover the bath during DIY or decorating

For the first few days, keep heavy bottles off the repaired spot. After that, clean it as you would the rest of the bath, avoiding abrasives.

Tape over a fresh chip or crack until it’s repaired, so water can’t get in. Remove it before the repair.

Can I fix it myself?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

Why repair rather than replace?

Think about the hidden costs of a new bath: removal and disposal, plumbing, a new panel, tiling and decorating. A repair is one job, done 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.

What you get with us

  • We leave the room as we found it
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • One-year guarantee on every repair

What happens on the day

Once we are through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes a morning or an afternoon, 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, 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 next day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

How to get a price

No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.

Advice

Common questions in Horsey

Can you repair a hole in a bath?

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

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

Can pets and children be at home?

Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.

What does bath repair cost?

Repairs from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You’ll get a fixed figure before booking.

Can you redo an old repair?

Yes, we do this frequently. The old material comes out, any rust is treated, then we repair it properly.

Can you quote from photos?

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

How invisible is a bath repair?

On a glossy bath, you’ll struggle to find it. On worn enamel, it can look shinier than the rest.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Common problems we fix in Horsey

A cracked acrylic bath normally wasn’t supported properly. Legs that are not adjusted, a missing cradle or a soft floor let the bath move until the acrylic gives way.

Get in touch if you’ve noticed:

  • Cracks in an acrylic bath
  • Rust by the waste and overflow
  • Impact holes in acrylic
  • Scratches you can feel with a fingernail

What to look for in a quote

  • How long it needs to cure
  • How changes to the job are handled
  • How to care for the finish
  • Whether the price covers travel
