Book bath repair in Sandhills

How we price bath repair

Prices start from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Sandhills. The price comes down to:

  • Access to the area
  • How many areas need work
  • The material
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

A repair typically costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.

How to get a fixed quote

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A wider photo showing the entire bath
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Bath repair at your home in Sandhills

We repair just the damaged spot and colour-match it to the bath, which is far cheaper than replacing a fitted bath. Most baths can be used again the next day. If you’re dealing with cracks in an acrylic bath and a chip where the taps sit, we can normally put it right.

Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Sandhills: your questions answered

Which areas do you work in?

The entire UK, including all of Walsall. Just include your postcode and we’ll offer you dates.

Can rust on a bath be repaired?

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.

Can you repair a chip on a coloured bath?

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

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

Can you redo an old repair?

Regularly. We strip it out, deal with any rust and repair it again.

Will there be a smell?

Expect a mild smell while we’re working that clears as it cures.

Do I have to be there?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Can landlords book you?

Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Looking after it afterwards

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:

  • Do not scrub with anything abrasive
  • Don’t leave a fresh chip for long
  • Store metal items away from the bath
  • If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted

Give the repair the full curing time we recommend before using the bath. From then on, mild cleaning is all it needs.

A small chip is a quick job. Left alone, they stain and can rust, so it’s worth getting them done early.

Should you replace it?

Replacing a bath rarely stops at the bath: the tiles sitting on the rim tend to break, the panel may not fit the new one, and the plumbing has to be disconnected and refitted. A repair skips all of it. Our bath repair starts from £95. We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Why book with us

  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • Everything repaired in place
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • One visit for most repairs

See our full price list and guide to resurfacing and replacement costs.

When a repair isn’t the answer

We’d rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:

  • Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
  • A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
  • Acrylic cracks with no access behind them

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

Materials we work on in Sandhills

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

When to call us in Sandhills

Nearly all the chips we see start with something being 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.

People normally call us when they notice something like this:

  • An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
  • Rust spots around the plughole
  • Impact holes in acrylic
  • A cracked acrylic bath

What to look for in a quote

  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • What prep work is covered
  • How the colour is matched

Our hiring checklist

Landlord and trade work in Sandhills

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Sandhills use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it typically costs far less than a refit.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

How it works

We begin by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we are doing. Then the area is sheeted and masked and we start. You can expect it to take a few hours, and we will tell you if anything changes.

  1. We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
  2. Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
  3. We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to 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.

Preparing for the visit

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
