Bath repair near The Hangers

What a repair can’t fix

In fairness, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:

  • Wear across the entire surface, which needs re-enamelling
  • Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
  • Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we cannot get to from below

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before you book.

Materials we repair

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

Every repair is covered by our one-year guarantee.

Before and after: a chipped, rust-stained bath around the plughole

Common problems we fix in The Hangers

Rust generally starts where water sits, around the waste, under the taps or in an old chip. Once water reaches the steel or iron, rust spreads under the enamel.

Common reasons people in The Hangers contact us are:

  • Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
  • Chips under the taps
  • A failed DIY repair that is discoloured or lifting
  • Rust spots around the plughole

Choosing a repair company

Your questions about bath repair in The Hangers

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

How do I book?

Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.

Can you match an avocado or pink bath?

Yes, coloured baths are no problem. The colour is tinted by hand on the day.

Is it messy?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before and we will plan for it.

Are there extra charges for The Hangers?

No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Will the repair show?

The goal is a repair that blends in. How well it disappears depends on the condition of the rest of the bath.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing a fitted bath normally involves a plumber, lifting out the old bath, re-tiling and a new panel and disposing of the old one. Repairing it deals only with the damage in one visit. Prices start from £95. A repair usually costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Why The Hangers clients choose us

  • We leave the room as we found it
  • One price list for the entire UK
  • Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job

For landlords and businesses

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in The Hangers as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

How it works

On the day, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take a few hours, depending on the damage. We clean up when we’re done and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. We start by cleaning the damage and taking out loose enamel and rust.
  2. Next we fill the damage and sand it smooth and level.
  3. The colour is mixed on the spot to match your bath.
  4. Finish coats go on, then the repair is polished to blend in.
  5. We leave it to cure; you can typically use the bath the following day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

Aftercare tips

How the surface is treated afterwards matters:

  • Have new chips seen to early
  • Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
  • Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
  • Rinse it down after each bath

Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy items on the repaired area. Get any new chip seen to quickly, before rust can start.

A small chip is a quick job. Leave them and they collect dirt, stain and, on metal baths, rust, so early repair saves time and money.

What your bath is made of matters

Pressed steel

Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.

Composite and resin

Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour-matched, in much the same way.
