How we handle bath repair in Hunt End

Most of our bath repairs take a few hours, and the bath is back in use the day after. There’s no need to book a plumber or tiler, because the bath doesn’t move. Whether it’s a hole punched through by something heavy and an old repair that has yellowed or come loose, we can normally put it right.

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

What bath repair costs

Prices start from £95. You’ll know the full cost before booking. We look at:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Doing more than one item at once

A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

How to get a fixed price

Phone photos are fine. Ensure they show:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A wider photo showing the whole bath

If you’re in Hunt End and want a price, pictures are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

Should you replace it?

A new bath costs more than the bath itself: taking out the old one, plumbing, tiling, a panel and redecorating. With a repair, it’s one visit and one price. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A repair normally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.

Can I fix it myself?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

What we can’t put right

A repair is not right for every job, for example:

  • Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)

  • Roll-top & freestanding
  • Pressed steel enamel
  • Cast iron enamel

Work for landlords and builders

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Hunt End as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

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

Signs you need bath repair in Hunt End

Glass and heavy bottles cause more chips than anything else, closely followed by shower heads. Taps and wastes cause problems too: water collects there, so chips nearby rust quickly.

  • Rust by the waste and overflow
  • Deep scratches in acrylic
  • Cracks in an acrylic bath
  • Impact holes in acrylic

What to look for in a quote

  • Who will actually do the work

Our hiring checklist

What happens on the day

Here’s how a visit typically runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and tidy away. Allow a morning or an afternoon. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
  2. Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
  3. We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
  4. We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
  5. The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Ask for a price

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

Hunt End: your questions answered

What information do you need?

Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.

Is my repair covered?

Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Can you redo an old repair?

Yes. We remove the old filler and start again. Mention it when you send photos.

Do I need to be at home?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.

What happens if you find more damage?

We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

How invisible is a bath repair?

We aim for a repair you can’t easily find. The rest of the bath’s condition makes a difference, and we will tell you what to expect.

Can you repair a crack in an acrylic bath?

Typically, 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 photo.

Do you cover the entire of Worcestershire?

The entire UK, including all of Worcestershire. Just include your postcode and we’ll offer you dates.

Looking after it afterwards

It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:

  • Ensure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
  • Give the bath a quick rinse after use
  • Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
  • Don’t leave a fresh chip for long

Treat the repaired area like the rest of the bath: warm water, washing-up liquid and a soft cloth. Avoid scourers and gritty cream cleaners.

Avoid standing in a cracked acrylic bath until it’s fixed. Each time it flexes, the crack grows, and it can start to leak underneath.
