Bath repair in White Hills

Bath repair in White Hills, done in place

A damaged bath does not have to mean a new bathroom. Our repair technicians fill, shape and refinish the damage, mixing the colour on the day. Whether it’s scuffs and scratches in the surface and chips under the taps, we can typically put it right, on pressed steel enamel, whirlpool & spa baths and cast iron enamel alike.

Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

What affects the price in White Hills

Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including White Hills. What changes the price is:

  • The material
  • Access to the area
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Unusual colours or finishes

A repair generally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

How to get a fixed price

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:

  • The material, if you know it
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Details of any past repairs
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole bath, add your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

Honest limits

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
  • Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
  • A steel bath rusted through

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

Materials we repair

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

For landlords and businesses

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in White Hills use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

The process

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, then carry out the work, which usually takes two to three hours for most chips. If anything looks different from your photos, we will talk to you before going ahead.

  1. First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
  2. We fill the damage and sand it flush with the surrounding surface.
  3. We mix the colour on the day to match your bath’s exact shade.
  4. We build up the finish and polish it into the surrounding enamel.
  5. Once it has cured, generally by the following day, the bath is ready to use.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Ask for a price

There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

How to look after the repair

To keep it looking its best:

  • Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
  • Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
  • Have new chips seen to early
  • Ensure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot

A repaired bath needs no special treatment, just sensible cleaning. Skip bleach and gritty creams and rinse after use.

Tape over a fresh chip or crack until it’s repaired, so water cannot get in. Take it off before we arrive.

Different materials, different repairs

Acrylic

An acrylic bath is a moulded sheet strengthened from below. There is no rust, but cracks, holes and scratches happen, and cracks need support from behind to stay fixed.

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.

Why repair rather than replace?

When the bath is otherwise sound, repairing beats replacing. It’s quicker, cheaper and far less disruptive, and you keep the bath you chose. If the entire surface is worn, re-enamelling may make more sense, and we’ll tell you. Prices start from £95. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Why book with us

  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • No need to remove anything
  • Fixed prices from your pictures
  • Typically one visit, start to finish

  • Damage beneath the taps
  • An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
  • Chips on the rim or sides
  • Impact holes in acrylic

10 questions to ask before you book

Questions from White Hills

Can landlords book you?

Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Is a bath repair permanent?

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

Do you come to White Hills?

Yes, we do. We send a technician to White Hills for every job, with no extra charge for travel.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.

Are you a vetted contractor?

We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

How soon can you come?

That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.

Is a cracked acrylic bath repairable?

Most of the time. The back of the crack is strengthened before the front is filled and refinished, so we need access under the bath.

Does someone need to be in?

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