What happens on the day

Arrival times are agreed in advance. Once we’re there, the work takes a few hours. We leave the room clean and ready to use once it has cured.

  1. We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
  2. Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
  3. The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
  4. We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
  5. The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Open a window if you can
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

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

When to call us in Upper Halling

Most bath damage comes from something dropped: a shampoo bottle, a shower head, a tile or a tool during a refit. On enamelled baths, any chip down to the metal lets water in, and rust follows.

Signs it’s time to call us include:

  • Chips on the rim or sides
  • Rusty patches near the plughole
  • A failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting
  • Hairline or through cracks in acrylic

What your quote should include

  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • How the room is protected while they work
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show

10 questions to ask before booking

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Upper Halling. The price comes down to:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The material
  • How hard the colour is to match

We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Upper Halling. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Quotes from your photos

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A wider photo showing the entire bath
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Upper Halling

Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, pictures and access details.

Repair or replace: which is better?

A new bath brings a chain of other jobs: tiles along the rim generally crack when it comes out, a new panel is frequently needed, and a plumber has to disconnect and reconnect everything. Repairing the damage avoids all of that. Our bath repair starts from £95. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.

Why us?

  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • Everything repaired in place
  • Same prices wherever you are
  • Fixed prices from your photos

Common questions in Upper Halling

Is it messy?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.

Do you come to Upper Halling?

We do. We send a technician to Upper Halling for every job, with no extra charge for travel.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

You’ll get a fixed quote back, plus dates. There’s no obligation to book.

What about rust by the waste?

Yes, it’s one of the most common repairs we do. We take it back to sound metal, seal it, fill it and match the colour.

Do the materials smell?

There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.

When can you do it?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.

Can you repair a failed DIY repair?

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

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.

Aftercare tips

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Have new chips seen to early
  • Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
  • Check that an acrylic bath doesn’t move when you stand in it
  • Get a dripping tap fixed promptly

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.

A chip on a metal bath shouldn’t be left. Water gets to the metal and rust starts, and a rust spot is a bigger repair than a clean chip.

What a repair can’t fix

Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits:

  • Cracks in acrylic we can’t reach from underneath
  • A whole bath that’s dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
  • Leaking fittings, which need a plumber

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

What we work on

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

Repairs by material

Composite and resin

Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, just like other baths.

Pressed steel

Steel baths are lighter than cast iron, but have a similar enamel surface. Chips rust quickly on steel, particularly by the plughole, so early repairs matter.
