About bath repair in HR8

A typical bath repair is a few hours’ work, and you can generally bathe again the day after. You will not need a plumber or tiler, because nothing is disconnected. We work on acrylic, whirlpool & spa baths and pressed steel enamel, and people most often call us about a chip where the taps sit and chips on the rim or sides.

Once we are through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes a few hours, depending on the damage, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. We start by cleaning the damage and taking out loose enamel and rust.
  2. We fill the damage and sand it flush with the surrounding surface.
  3. We tint the finish on the day to suit your bath’s shade of white or colour.
  4. Finish coats go on, then the repair is polished to blend in.
  5. Once it has cured, typically by the next day, the bath is ready to use.

Prices in HR8

How to get a price

There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

What’s near Ledbury

In Ledbury, that means homes near Brewery Inn, Ledbury Primary School and John Masefield High School. The closest station to Ledbury is Ledbury station, about 0.5 miles north of the centre. Nearby you will also find Bronsil Castle (2.7 miles east) and Butcher Row House Museum (within half a mile east). Not far away are Hollybed Farm Meadows and Eastnor Hill.

What a repair cannot fix

Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits too:

  • A whole bath that is dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
  • A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
  • Acrylic cracks with no access behind them

Looking after it afterwards

Nothing complicated is needed:

  • A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
  • Make sure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
  • Do not leave a fresh chip for long
  • Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby

Give the repair the full curing time we recommend before using the bath. From then on, mild cleaning is all it needs.

If water is getting through a crack, stop using the bath until it’s repaired. Leaks under a bath can damage floors and ceilings.

Repairing versus replacing

A repair makes sense whenever the damage is localised. It costs far less than a new bath plus fitting, it’s done in one visit, and nothing else in the room changes.

What your quote should include

  • What aftercare is recommended
  • Who turns up on the day
  • What protection goes down before work starts

Work for landlords and builders

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in HR8 use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, pictures and access details and we will arrange it.

What affects the price in HR8

Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:

  • How many areas need work
  • The material and finish
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • How hard the colour is to match

We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Send pictures for a quote

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Details of any past repairs
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

Email us photos of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your HR8 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

HR8: your questions answered

Can you quote from pictures?

In nearly every case. If pictures do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

What about rust by the waste?

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

Can you match an avocado or pink bath?

Yes, we match coloured baths too. We tint the finish to your bath on site.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

What do you need from me?

Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.

Can you repair a hole in a bath?

Normally, yes, if we can reach behind it. We back the hole, fill it and refinish the surface.
