Bath repair in Smannell without replacing anything

Repairing baths is what we do most. Chips on the rim, rust around the waste and cracks in acrylic are all repaired in place, normally in one visit. Common call-outs are for chips on the rim or sides and snagging damage from a refit, across whirlpool & spa baths, roll-top & freestanding and cast iron enamel.

Every job is backed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Looking after it afterwards

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

  • Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
  • Put a towel in the bath if you are working above it
  • Store metal items away from the bath
  • Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners

There’s nothing special to do after a repair, just sensible cleaning. Avoid bleach-based and gritty cleaners and give it a rinse after each bath.

Small chips are quick to repair. Left alone, they stain and can rust, so it’s worth getting them done early.

For landlords and businesses

If you manage property in Smannell, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Just send pictures for each address and we’ll price them together.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

How to compare quotes

How the visit works

Here’s how a visit typically runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and clear up. Allow two to three hours for most chips. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and how to look after it.

  1. Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
  2. We clean, key and degrease the damage, and any rust is treated.
  3. We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
  4. Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
  5. We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the day after.

Preparing for the visit

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Open a window if you can

Advice

FAQs for Smannell

How do I get a price for bath repair in Smannell?

Prices start from £95. We give a fixed quote based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up and a picture of the entire item with your SP11 postcode.

Is it messy?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.

Is a bath repair permanent?

Done properly, a repair lasts for years, and ours come with a one-year guarantee. Gentle cleaning helps it last.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders across Hampshire.

Can you match an avocado or pink bath?

Yes. The colour is mixed on site to suit your bath, including pastel and older colours.

Is there a call-out fee?

We don’t add a call-out fee. Your fixed quote includes everything.

Do you come to Smannell?

Yes. We work across the UK and come to Smannell. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Repairs by material

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

Composite and resin

Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid, and frequently freestanding. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, just like other baths.

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing a fitted bath normally involves a plumber, lifting out the old bath, making good the tiles and panel and getting rid of the old bath. A repair fixes just the damaged area in a single visit. Our bath repair starts from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Smannell. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

What you get with us

  • Typically one visit, start to finish
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • Fixed prices from your pictures

How we price bath repair

Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:

  • What the surface is made of
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • How much damage there is
  • How many items we do on one visit

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

Quotes from your photos

You can usually get a fixed price without us visiting. To help us price it:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A photo taken from further back
  • Something in shot to show the size

We price from pictures so you do not 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 we’ll come back with a fixed figure.

DIY kit or professional repair?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
