Our bath repair service in HP18

Whether your bath is steel, cast iron or acrylic, we can repair it. The method changes with the material: metal baths need any rust dealt with first, and acrylic cracks need support from behind. Our repair technicians work on acrylic, cast iron enamel and roll-top & freestanding, and people most often call us about rusty patches near the plughole and a chipped rim or side.

Arrival times are agreed in advance. On site, it takes a few hours, depending on the damage in most cases. We leave the room clean and ready to use once it has cured.

  1. First, we check the damage against your photos and agree the plan.
  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.

Cost

What we are called out for in HP18

Many chips happen while the bathroom is being fitted. Tools, tiles and fittings get dropped into the bath, frequently before anyone notices. We repair snagging damage like this regularly.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

  • An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
  • Rust by the waste and overflow
  • Cracks in an acrylic bath
  • A hole punched through by something heavy

When a repair isn’t the answer

We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair will not do:

  • A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
  • Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we cannot get to from below
  • A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)

Should you replace it?

Swapping a damaged bath for a new one generally means a plumber, lifting out the old bath, re-tiling and a new panel and getting rid of the old bath. A repair deals only with the damage in one visit.

Work for landlords and builders

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

What bath repair costs

Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including HP18. What changes the price is:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The material and finish
  • Access to the area
  • Unusual colours or finishes

Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.

Quotes from your pictures

The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Details of any past repairs
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.

HP18 questions

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

Can a cracked acrylic bath be fixed?

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.

Can pets and children be at home?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.

Can you repair a failed DIY repair?

Yes. We take out the old repair and do it properly. Tell us about it when you send photos.

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
