Repair or replace: which is better?

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. Our bath repair starts from £95. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

What you get with us

  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK

How we handle bath repair in North Holmwood

We repair just the damaged spot and colour-match it to the bath, which costs far less than replacing a fitted bath and the tiles around it. Most baths can be used again the following day. Whether it’s a chip where the taps sit and rusty patches near the plughole, we can help, on roll-top & freestanding, acrylic and whirlpool & spa baths alike.

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

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. You’ll know the full cost before you book. We look at:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • How easy the damage is to reach

The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

How to get a fixed quote

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

  • A photo taken from further back
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Details of any past repairs

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

Can I fix it myself?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

  • Chips caused by builders
  • Chips along the edge of the bath

Our hiring checklist

What happens on the day

On the day, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take a few hours, depending on the damage. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.

  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. 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.

Before we arrive

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

Ask for a price

You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

Advice

Aftercare tips

So the finish stays in good condition:

  • Put a towel in the bath if you are working above it
  • Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
  • Store metal items away from the bath
  • Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath

Treat the repaired area like the rest of the bath: warm water, washing-up liquid and a soft cloth. Keep scouring pads and gritty cleaners away from it.

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

For landlords and businesses

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

If you manage property in North Holmwood, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send pictures for each address and we’ll price them together.

What a repair can’t fix

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair won’t do:

  • Wear across the entire surface, which needs re-enamelling
  • A steel bath rusted through
  • Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Surfaces we repair

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