Rusty chip next to a bath plughole, before and after repair

How it works

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we’ve agreed what we’re doing. It normally takes a morning or an afternoon, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  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. 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.

Preparing for the visit

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

Getting a price

Advice

Should you replace it?

If the rest of the bath is in good condition, a repair is almost always the better choice. It costs less, takes less time and causes far less upheaval, and the bathroom stays as it is. Where the whole surface is tired, we may suggest re-enamelling instead. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Why book with us

  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK

Repairs by material

Acrylic

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

Composite and resin

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

Signs you need bath repair in Tudeley Hale

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

Signs it’s time to call us include:

  • Scuffs and scratches in the surface
  • Rust by the waste and overflow
  • An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
  • Chips under the taps

Questions to ask before booking

  • Whether the price covers travel
  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • What aftercare is recommended
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?

10 questions to ask before booking

Common questions in Tudeley Hale

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

Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.

What happens if you find more damage?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.

Do you work in Tudeley Hale?

Yes. We cover the entire UK and travel to Tudeley Hale. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Will the repair last?

Yes, if it’s prepared properly and the bath is sound. It’s covered by our one-year guarantee.

How long does the repair take to cure?

Usually within a day, though it depends on what we have done.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners.

Looking after it afterwards

A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:

  • Don’t leave razors or cans standing in the bath
  • Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
  • Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
  • Put a towel in the bath if you’re working above it

Use gentle, non-abrasive cleaners and try not to drop heavy bottles on the repair. Deal with new chips early, before rust can start.

Rust under enamel spreads surprisingly quickly. Left for months, a small chip can grow into a large rust patch, so it pays to deal with it early.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Tudeley Hale

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.

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed price from photos. This is what makes a difference:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • What the surface is made of
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The colour and finish to match

Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

Send pictures for a quote

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

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • One picture of the entire bath
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and no obligation.

When we would advise against a repair

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

  • Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
  • Metal that has corroded all the way through
  • Acrylic cracks with no access behind them

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

Surfaces we repair

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