Bath repair at your home in GU12

A typical bath repair is a few hours’ work, and you can normally bathe again the following day. You will not need a plumber or tiler, because the bath does not move. We regularly repair whirlpool & spa baths, pressed steel enamel and acrylic, and common reasons people get in touch are scratches you can feel with a fingernail and a failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting.

Your technician turns up when we said we would and checks the damage against your pictures first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. Most visits take a morning or an afternoon, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
  2. The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased.
  3. Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
  4. We match both the colour and the shine.
  5. We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the next day.

Cost

Prices start from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Why book with us

  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job

How to get a price

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

Landmarks near Ash

Ash’s nearest station is Ash station, about 0.5 miles north-east. Further afield, we also cover the area around Ash Museum (within half a mile north-east) and Guildford Hospital (4.8 miles east). The countryside around Ash includes Rowhill Nature Reserve and Hog's Back.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

Common problems we fix in GU12

A bath gets knocked about more than you’d think: bottles, shower heads and razors are dropped every day, and fittings press hard against the enamel. Over time, chips and rust spots are almost inevitable.

The most common problems we’re called about are:

  • Chips along the edge of the bath
  • Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
  • A hole punched through by something heavy
  • A kit repair that didn’t last

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. There’s no area surcharge for GU12. What changes the price is:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How much damage there is
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Quotes from your pictures

When you take your pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

We price from photos so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.

Landlords, agents and businesses in GU12

If you manage property in GU12, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send photos for each address and we will come back with a combined price.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Should you replace it?

A new bath costs more than the bath itself: removal and disposal, plumbing, a new panel, tiling and decorating. With a repair, it’s one visit and one price.

What your quote should include

  • How long it needs to cure
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers

GU12 questions

What happens if you find more damage?

Your quote covers the damage in the photos. If there’s more, we will tell you before starting.

Can you repair a crack in an acrylic bath?

Normally, yes, if we can reach the underside to reinforce it. Take off the bath panel and check, or send us a photo.

Is a bath repair permanent?

Done properly, a repair lasts for years, and ours come with a one-year guarantee. Gentle cleaning helps it last.

Can you redo an old repair?

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

How soon can you come?

Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.

Do you cover the entire of Surrey?

We work UK-wide, so GU12 is covered. Our prices are the same everywhere.

Can rust on a bath be repaired?

Yes, very often. The rust is cut back to clean metal and sealed before we fill and finish it.
