Prices and what affects them

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

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • The type of damage
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Send pictures for a quote

Most quotes are done from photos alone. To help us price it:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • One picture of the whole bath
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. 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.

How we handle bath repair in New Hedges

Whatever has happened to the bath, we aim for the same result: a repair that is smooth, sound and hard to spot. Proper preparation, careful filling and shaping, then colour and gloss matching so it sits flush with the rest of the bath. Our repair technicians work on acrylic, cast iron enamel and roll-top & freestanding, and common reasons people get in touch are damage done while the bathroom was being fitted and chips under the taps.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Should you replace it?

A new bath brings a chain of other jobs: tiles along the rim typically crack when it comes out, a new panel is often needed, and the plumbing has to be disconnected and refitted. A repair skips all of it. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Different materials, different repairs

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

Composite and resin

Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, just like other baths.

Aftercare tips

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

  • Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
  • Have new chips seen to early
  • Check that an acrylic bath doesn’t move when you stand in it
  • Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby

Give the repair the full curing time we recommend before using the bath. After that, gentle cleaning keeps it looking good.

Stop using the bath if a crack lets water through. Water under the bath can damage the floor and the ceiling below.

New Hedges: your questions answered

Will the repair show?

The goal is a repair that blends in. The rest of the bath’s condition makes a difference, and we will tell you what to expect.

Can landlords book you?

We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Is it messy?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.

Are you accredited?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.

How soon can you come?

We’ll give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.

I tried a repair kit. Can you fix it?

Regularly. The old material comes out, any rust is treated, then we repair it properly.

When a repair is not the answer

Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits:

  • Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
  • Cracks in acrylic we cannot reach from underneath
  • Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before booking.

Materials we repair

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

What we are called out for in New Hedges

Damage during fitting is very common. Tools, tiles and fittings get dropped into the bath, often before anyone notices. Snagging repairs like these are a regular job for us.

These are the problems we are asked about most:

  • Rusty patches near the plughole
  • Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
  • Holes from dropped items
  • A chip where the taps sit

Comparing quotes

  • How the colour is matched
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • What preparation is included
  • Whether the price covers travel

How to compare quotes

Landlords, agents and businesses in New Hedges

Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in New Hedges use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it generally costs far less than a refit.

How it works

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, and get on with the job, which normally takes two to three hours for most chips. If anything looks different from your pictures, we will talk to you before going ahead.

  1. First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
  2. Next we fill the damage and sand it smooth and level.
  3. We mix the colour on the day to match your bath’s exact shade.
  4. We apply the finish coats and polish the repair so it blends in.
  5. Once it has cured, usually by the day after, the bath is ready to use.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Open a window if you can

Ask for a price

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole bath, include your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.
