Trusted bath repair in Hudswell

Looking after it afterwards

A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:

  • Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
  • Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
  • Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
  • Get a dripping tap fixed promptly

There’s nothing special to do after a repair. Avoid bleach-based and gritty cleaners and give it a rinse after each bath.

If water is getting through a crack, stop using the bath. Leaks under a bath can damage floors and ceilings.

About our bath repair in Hudswell

Bath repair is our most common job. Chips on the rim, rust around the waste and cracks in acrylic are all fixed without removing the bath, normally in one visit. If you are dealing with deep scratches in acrylic and chips on the rim or sides, we can help, whatever the material.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we’ll come back.

What affects the price in Hudswell

Prices start from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The type of damage
  • The colour and finish to match

Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

How to get a fixed quote

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

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • A photo taken from further back
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Any details about the material

To get a price, send two or three photos through our quote form or ring us. We’ll say right away whether it can be repaired.

When we’d advise against a repair

In fairness, some problems need a different fix:

  • Metal that has corroded all the way through
  • A whole bath that is dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
  • Leaking fittings, which need a plumber

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

Surfaces we repair

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

Should I try a DIY kit first?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

What we do, step by step

You do not need to empty the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and start once you’re happy with the plan. It typically takes a few hours, depending on the damage, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  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. The colour is mixed on the spot to match your bath.
  4. We build up the finish and polish it into the surrounding enamel.
  5. The repair is left to cure, and most baths can be used the following day.

Before we arrive

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

Work for landlords and builders

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in North Yorkshire and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

Repairs by material

Acrylic

Acrylic baths are moulded sheet reinforced underneath. They do not rust, but they can crack, scratch or be holed, and a crack only stays repaired if it’s supported underneath.

Pressed steel

Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.

Common questions in Hudswell

How do I get a price for bath repair in Hudswell?

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

Can you redo an old repair?

Yes, we do this often. We strip it out, deal with any rust and repair it again.

Are you a vetted contractor?

We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

Is the work guaranteed?

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.

Is repairing better than replacing?

In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.

Can you repair a chip on a coloured bath?

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

What do you need from me?

Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.

Why repair rather than replace?

Many people think a damaged bath means a new one. In most cases it doesn’t: a repair keeps the bath in service for years, and costs far less than the disruption of a replacement. Prices start from £95. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
