Signs you need bath repair in Purbrook Heath

Most bath damage comes from something dropped: bottles, shower heads, tiles and tools. On steel and cast iron baths, any chip down to the metal lets water in, and rust follows.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

  • A cracked acrylic bath
  • A chip where the taps sit
  • An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
  • Scratches you can feel with a fingernail

  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • How soon you can use it again
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • What aftercare is recommended

How we handle bath repair in Purbrook Heath

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. You can normally use the bath the day after. We regularly repair cast iron enamel, whirlpool & spa baths and acrylic, and common reasons people contact us are impact holes in acrylic 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.

How to care for the repair

It’s all simple stuff:

  • Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
  • Give the bath a quick rinse after use
  • Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
  • Do not scrub with anything abrasive

Use gentle, non-abrasive cleaners and try not to drop heavy bottles on the repair. Get any new chip seen to quickly, before rust can start.

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.

The process

Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you and checks the damage against your photos first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. The work itself takes two to three hours for most chips, and we leave the room as we found it.

  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 next day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

Repair or replace: which is better?

Many people think a damaged bath means a new one. In most cases it does not: a repair keeps the bath in service for years, and costs far less than the disruption of a replacement. Our bath repair starts from £95. A repair normally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

What you get with us

  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • Same prices wherever you are
  • No need to remove anything

Read our full price list and resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, 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 won’t last.

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

Landlords, agents and businesses in Purbrook Heath

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

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

Prices and what affects them

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

  • The type of damage
  • What the surface is made of
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Unusual colours or finishes

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

Before you send pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • One picture of the entire bath
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

We price from pictures so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.

When we’d advise against a repair

A repair is not always the answer, and we will tell you before we start. We can’t fix:

  • A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
  • Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
  • Leaking fittings, which need a plumber

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before booking.

Materials we repair

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

Your questions about bath repair in Purbrook Heath

Do you work in Purbrook Heath?

Yes, we do. Technicians travel to Purbrook Heath from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Can you fix rust around the plughole?

Yes, it’s one of the most common repairs we do. The rust is cut back to clean metal and sealed before we fill and finish it.

When can I have a bath again?

Normally by the following day, though it depends on what we’ve done.

Is there a call-out fee?

There is no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.

Will there be a smell?

It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.

Do you repair coloured baths?

Yes, coloured baths are no problem. We tint the finish to your bath on site.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
