How we handle bath repair in Ware

Whatever the damage, the aim is the same: a smooth, solid repair that blends in. We prepare the area properly, fill and shape it, then match the colour and gloss so it sits flush with the rest of the bath. We regularly repair whirlpool & spa baths, roll-top & freestanding and cast iron enamel, and the jobs we see most are a kit repair that didn’t last and impact holes in acrylic.

You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Ware as everywhere else we work.

How we price bath repair

Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

There are no surprise 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.

Getting a price from photos

Phone pictures are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Ensure they show:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

Honest limits

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

  • Metal that has corroded all the way through
  • Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
  • Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.

Surfaces we repair

  • Whirlpool & spa baths
  • Roll-top & freestanding

Choosing a repair company

Your questions about bath repair in Ware

Can pets and children be at home?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.

Can you match an avocado or pink bath?

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

Can tenants book a repair?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

Something went through my bath. Can it be fixed?

Often, if there’s access underneath. We back the hole, fill it and refinish the surface.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

Is there a call-out fee?

There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.

Do the materials smell?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It clears as the materials cure.

Is a bath repair permanent?

It should, as long as the bath is firm and the area was prepared well. It’s covered by our one-year guarantee.

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

Different materials, different repairs

Acrylic

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

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that’s the part we put right.

Looking after it afterwards

To keep it looking its best:

  • Give the bath a quick rinse after use
  • If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
  • Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
  • Store metal items away from the 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.

Stop using the bath if a crack lets water through. Leaks under a bath can damage floors and ceilings.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Ware

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

What we do, step by step

On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job usually takes two to three hours for most chips. 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. We apply the finish coats and polish the repair so it blends in.
  5. The repair is left to cure, and most baths can be used the next day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

Ask for a price

Send us a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your CT3 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
