What a repair can’t fix

A repair isn’t right for every job, for example:

  • Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
  • A whole bath that is dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
  • Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.

Surfaces we repair

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

Sandyhills: your questions answered

Is a bath repair permanent?

It should, as long as the bath is firm and the area was prepared well. It carries our one-year guarantee.

Can a cracked acrylic bath be fixed?

Most of the time. The back of the crack is strengthened before the front is filled and refinished, so access behind the panel is important.

Which areas do you work in?

Across the UK. Our prices are the same everywhere.

Can you match an avocado or pink bath?

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

Is there a guarantee?

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

When can you do it?

We’ll give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

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.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

Should you replace it?

Cast iron baths in particular are worth repairing: getting one out, particularly from an upstairs bathroom, is a big job, and replacing like for like is not cheap. A repair keeps it in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

How to look after the repair

A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:

  • Store metal items away from the bath
  • Give the bath a quick rinse after use
  • Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
  • Make sure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot

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

If water is getting through a crack, stop using the bath until it’s repaired. Water under the bath can damage the floor and the ceiling below.

What your bath is made of matters

Acrylic

An acrylic bath is a moulded sheet strengthened from below. They don’t rust, but they can crack, scratch or be holed, and a crack only stays repaired if it’s supported underneath.

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are thick and very strong, with a fused enamel surface. A chip down to the iron can rust, but the body of the bath lasts a very long time, so it’s always worth repairing.

The process

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you know when to expect us. Once we’re there, the work takes a morning or an afternoon in most cases. The room is left tidy.

  1. Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
  2. The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased.
  3. Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
  4. We match both the colour and the shine.
  5. We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, typically the day after.

Before we arrive

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

How to get a price

Related advice

Common problems we fix in Sandyhills

Heavy toiletries are the biggest single cause of chips, with dropped shower heads close behind. Taps and wastes cause problems too: water sits around them, and any chip there soon rusts.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • A kit repair that didn’t last
  • A cracked acrylic bath
  • Rust by the waste and overflow
  • Chips under the taps

Questions to ask before booking

  • How long it needs to cure
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • Whether the price covers travel
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers

10 questions to ask before you book

Work for landlords and builders

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

For anyone letting property in or around Sandyhills, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Just send photos for each address and we will come back with a combined price.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. You’ll know the full cost before you book. We take into account:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Getting a price from photos

Two or three clear pictures are generally enough. It helps if you send:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A picture taken from further back
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.
