Bath repair near Wilson

Why repair rather than replace?

A new bath brings a chain of other jobs: tiles along the rim normally crack when it comes out, a new panel is frequently needed, and the plumbing has to be disconnected and refitted. A repair skips all of it. Our bath repair starts from £95. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

How we handle bath repair in Wilson

We have repaired just about every kind of bath damage: chips from dropped bottles, rust round the plughole, cracks in acrylic and holes from falling tools. All of it is repaired where the bath stands. Common call-outs are for a kit repair that didn’t last and rust by the waste and overflow, on pressed steel enamel, acrylic and roll-top & freestanding.

Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before you book.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:

  • What the surface is made of
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Access to the area
  • The type of damage

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You will see the full price before you book, with no extras added later.

Quotes from your photos

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Try to send:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A photo taken from further back
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire bath, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

Work for landlords and builders

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

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.

Wilson: your questions answered

How do I get a price for bath repair in Wilson?

Prices start from £95. Every job gets a fixed price based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up and a picture of the entire item with your HR9 postcode.

Do I need to be at home?

We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Which areas do you work in?

All of Herefordshire, and the rest of the UK. There’s no extra charge for travel.

Is there any odour?

Expect a mild smell while we are working, which fades afterwards.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.

Something went through my bath. Can it be fixed?

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

How do I book?

Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787.

What happens next?

We come back with a fixed quote, plus dates. There’s no obligation to book.

Different materials, different repairs

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

Cast iron

Cast iron is heavy and rigid, with a fused enamel surface. Chips can rust if left, but the body of the bath lasts a very long time, which makes it well worth repairing.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.

What we’re called out for in Wilson

Acrylic baths that crack nearly always have a support problem. Loose legs, no proper cradle or a floor that gives let the bath move until the acrylic gives way.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

  • Chips on the rim or sides
  • Cracks in an acrylic bath
  • Deep scratches in acrylic
  • Snagging damage from a refit

Questions to ask before booking

  • How changes to the job are handled
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • If travel is included in the price
  • Whether a trained technician does the job

10 questions to ask before booking

When a repair isn’t the answer

A repair is not always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. We cannot fix:

  • Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
  • A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
  • Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we can’t get to from below

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

Surfaces we repair

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

How it works

On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll get on with it. The job generally runs to a few hours, depending on the damage.

  1. We protect the bath and the floor around it.
  2. The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased, 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, normally the day after.

Before we arrive

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
