Bath repair for Southington homes

Bath repair in Southington without replacing anything

We have repaired just about every kind of bath damage: chips from dropped bottles, rust round the plughole, cracks in acrylic and holes from falling tools. Each is repaired in place. We work on cast iron enamel, pressed steel enamel and acrylic, and the jobs we see most are damage done while the bathroom was being fitted and a hole punched through by something heavy.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months in Southington and everywhere else. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Common problems we fix in Southington

Most bath damage comes from something 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.

Keep an eye out for any of the following:

  • A chipped rim or side
  • Snagging damage from a refit
  • A cracked acrylic bath
  • Impact holes in acrylic

Before booking anyone

  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • How long it needs to cure
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included

Our hiring checklist

What affects the price in Southington

Repairs from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Southington. The price depends on:

  • The material and finish
  • The colour and finish to match
  • How many areas need work
  • Doing more than one item at once

There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Quotes from your pictures

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

  • The material, if you know it
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

Upload a photo of the damage and one of the whole item, with your RG25 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.

For landlords and businesses

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.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

Aftercare tips

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

  • Store metal items away from the bath
  • Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
  • Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
  • Give the bath a quick rinse after use

A repaired bath needs no special treatment. Avoid bleach-based and gritty cleaners and give it a rinse after each bath.

A small chip is a quick job. Leave them and they collect dirt, stain and, on metal baths, rust, so it’s worth getting them done early.

Southington: your questions answered

Will I be able to see the repair?

We aim for a repair you cannot easily find. How well it disappears depends on the condition of the rest of the bath, and we will tell you what to expect.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.

Can landlords book you?

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

Are you accredited?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

I tried a repair kit. Can you fix it?

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

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.

Is my repair covered?

All our work carries a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Will it make a mess?

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

What a repair cannot fix

We won’t take on work that won’t last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:

  • Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
  • Metal that has corroded all the way through
  • A whole bath that is dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix

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

Surfaces we repair

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

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing a fitted bath normally means a plumber, lifting out the old bath, making good the tiles and panel and getting rid of the old bath. Repairing it fixes just the damaged area in one visit. Prices start from £95. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Why us?

  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • Fixed prices from your pictures
  • No need to remove anything
  • Same prices wherever you are

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

How it works

We turn up at the time we agreed with you and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. The work itself takes a few hours, depending on the damage, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  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. We match both the colour and the shine.
  5. We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, normally the next day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
