Bath repair in Hullavington without replacing anything

A typical bath repair is a few hours’ work, and you can typically bathe again the day after. There is no need to book a plumber or tiler, because the bath does not move. We work on cast iron enamel, roll-top & freestanding and whirlpool & spa baths, and common reasons people get in touch are a hole punched through by something heavy and a chip where the taps sit.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there’s a problem and we’ll come back.

For landlords and businesses

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.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.

Hullavington questions

Is a cracked acrylic bath repairable?

Often, yes, as long as we can get to the back of the crack to support it. Take off the bath panel and check, or send us a picture.

Can you fix rust around the plughole?

Yes. We take out the rust and any loose enamel, seal and fill the area, then colour-match the finish.

Are you accredited?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

Can you price it without visiting?

Generally, yes. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.

Do the materials smell?

There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.

Do I have to be there?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Typically, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

How we price bath repair

Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • What the surface is made of
  • Whether we combine several jobs

We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Hullavington. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Send photos for a quote

You can typically get a fixed quote without us visiting. To make it quick:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • One picture of the entire bath
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Something in shot to show the size

Send us a picture of the damage and one of the whole item, with your SN14 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

When a repair isn’t the answer

Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits:

  • Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
  • Wear across the whole surface, which needs re-enamelling
  • A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

Materials we repair

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

Do you need bath repair in Hullavington?

Many chips happen while the bathroom is being fitted. Tools, tiles and fittings get dropped into the bath, and the damage isn’t always spotted until later. Snagging repairs like these are a regular job for us.

The most common problems we’re called about are:

  • Rust by the waste and overflow
  • Cracks in an acrylic bath
  • A chip where the taps sit
  • An old repair that has yellowed or come loose

Questions to ask before you book

  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • How to care for the finish
  • How soon you can use it again
  • Whether they match the colour on site

10 questions to ask before you book

How to care for the repair

Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:

  • Check that an acrylic bath doesn’t move when you stand in it
  • Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
  • Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
  • Have new chips seen to early

Leave the repair to cure for as long as we say before running a bath. After that, gentle cleaning keeps it looking good.

A small chip is a quick job. Leave them and they collect dirt, stain and, on metal baths, rust, so it’s worth getting them done early.

Repair or replace in Hullavington?

Replacing a fitted bath typically means a plumber, removing the old bath, re-tiling and a new panel and disposing of the old one. A repair fixes just the damaged area in a single visit. Prices start from £95. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before you book.

Why us?

  • No extra charge for your area
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • We leave the room as we found it

The process

On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll get on with it. Most visits take a few hours.

  1. First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
  2. The chip or crack is filled, then sanded level with the bath.
  3. The colour is mixed on the spot to match your bath.
  4. Finish coats go on, then the repair is polished to blend in.
  5. We leave it to cure; you can generally use the bath the next day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

How to get a price

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
