Trusted bath repair in Putley Green

Bath repair at your home in Putley Green

Repairing baths is what we do most. A chip by the taps, a crack in the base and a rust spot by the plughole are all repaired in place, usually in a single visit. We regularly repair whirlpool & spa baths, acrylic and pressed steel enamel, and common reasons people get in touch are rust by the waste and overflow and a kit repair that didn’t last.

You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we will come back.

Landlord and trade work in Putley Green

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Herefordshire and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

Can I fix it myself?

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. 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 do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Should you replace it?

Many people think a damaged bath means a new one. In most cases it does not: a proper repair gives it years more use, without the cost and upheaval of replacing it. Prices start from £95. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before you book, with no extras added later.

What you get with us

  • One price list for the entire UK
  • No need to remove anything
  • Colour-matched on site
  • Most jobs done in one visit

Take a look at our prices page and resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.

How to look after the repair

Nothing complicated is needed:

  • Don’t leave razors or cans standing in the bath
  • Put a towel in the bath if you are working above it
  • Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
  • If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted

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

Small chips are quick to repair. Leave them and they collect dirt, stain and, on metal baths, rust, so it’s worth getting them done early.

What affects the price in Putley Green

Prices start from £95. We price every job individually. The main factors are:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.

Quotes from your pictures

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • The material, if you know it
  • One picture of the entire bath

We price from pictures so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.

What a repair cannot fix

A repair isn’t always the answer, and we will tell you before we start. Repairs won’t solve:

  • Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
  • A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
  • A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)

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

What we work on

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

Questions from Putley Green

Do you charge for travel?

Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.

How soon can you come?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

What do you need from me?

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

How long before I can use the bath?

Most baths can be used the following day. We will tell you the exact curing time when we finish.

Do I need to be at home?

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

Is a holed acrylic bath repairable?

Usually. Send us a picture of the hole and one from under the bath if you can.

Is a cracked acrylic bath repairable?

In most cases. The back of the crack is strengthened before the front is filled and refinished, so access behind the panel is important.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Pressed steel

Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.

Acrylic

Acrylic baths are moulded sheet reinforced underneath. They don’t rust, but they can crack, scratch or be holed, and a crack only stays repaired if it’s supported underneath.

How it works

Here’s how a visit generally runs: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and clear up. Allow a few hours, depending on the damage. Before we go, we’ll explain how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
  2. The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased.
  3. We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
  4. Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
  5. We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, usually the next day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
