Different materials, different repairs

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

Pressed steel

Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.

Your questions about bath repair in Sandhills

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Yes, we frequently do. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.

Do you repair coloured baths?

Yes. We mix the colour on the day to match, including older coloured suites.

Can you price it without visiting?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.

Can you redo an old repair?

Yes. We take out the old repair and do it properly. Tell us about it when you send photos.

What happens next?

We come back with a fixed quote, typically with dates to choose from. There is no obligation to book.

Can rust on a bath be repaired?

Yes. We take out the rust and any loose enamel, seal and fill the area, then colour-match the finish.

What areas do you cover?

The entire UK, including all of Surrey. Send your postcode with your pictures and we’ll confirm dates.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

Common problems we fix in Sandhills

A bath gets knocked about more than you’d think: everyday items get dropped into it all the time, and fittings press hard against the enamel. Sooner or later, most baths pick up a chip.

These are the problems we’re asked about most:

  • A chip where the taps sit
  • A failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting
  • A chipped rim or side
  • Scratches you can feel with a fingernail

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Sandhills. What changes the price is:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • The colour and finish to match
  • What the surface is made of
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Sandhills. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Send photos for a quote

You can take the photos on your phone. Just ensure we can see:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A picture taken from further back
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Natural light rather than flash

Send us a photo of the damage and one of the whole item, with your GU8 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

Repair or replace in Sandhills?

Cast iron baths especially are worth keeping: they’re very heavy to remove, especially upstairs, and a like-for-like replacement can be expensive. Repairing it leaves it where it is. Our bath repair starts from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You will see the full price before booking, with no extras added later.

What happens on the day

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and start once you are happy with the plan. It normally takes a morning or an afternoon, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.

  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. The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of 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.

How to prepare

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

How to get a price

Most customers in Sandhills get their price from pictures. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Advice

DIY repairs versus a professional job

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

Keeping it looking good

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:

  • Have new chips seen to early
  • Put a towel in the bath if you are working above it
  • Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
  • Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale

Care for the repair the same way as the bath: a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs. Avoid scourers and gritty cream cleaners.

A chip on a metal bath shouldn’t be left. Water gets to the metal and rust starts, and a rust spot is a bigger repair than a clean chip.
