Our bath repair service in HX2

You do not need a new bath because of a chip. Our technicians fill, shape and refinish the damage, with the colour mixed on site so the repair is hard to spot. Common call-outs are for an old repair that has yellowed or come loose and rust by the waste and overflow, in cast iron enamel, whirlpool & spa baths and roll-top & freestanding.

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

We clean the area and remove any loose enamel or rust.
The chip or crack is filled, then sanded level with the bath.
The colour is mixed on the spot to match your bath.
We apply the finish coats and polish the repair so it blends in.
Once it has cured, typically by the next day, the bath is ready to use.

What it costs in HX2

Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Repair or replace?

Cast iron baths especially are worth keeping: they’re very heavy to remove, especially upstairs, and replacing like for like is not cheap. Repairing it leaves it where it is.

How the damage happens

A bath gets knocked about more than you’d think: bottles, shower heads and razors are dropped every day, and taps and wastes are tightened against the surface. Sooner or later, most baths pick up a chip.

Look out for any of the following:

A hole punched through by something heavy
Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
Chips under the taps
A kit repair that didn’t last

When we’d advise against a repair

A repair isn’t right for every job, for example:

Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
Wear across the whole surface, which needs re-enamelling

Different materials, different repairs

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that’s what we repair.

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

What affects the price in HX2

Prices start from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:

How much damage there is
The colour and finish to match
What the surface is made of
The type of damage

The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

How to get a fixed price

You can take the photos on your phone, there is no need for anything special. Ensure they show:

Any earlier repairs or coatings
What it’s made of, if you know
A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
A close-up of the damage, in focus

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.

Your questions about bath repair in HX2

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Generally, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so let us know about it.

Do I have to be there?

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

Are you a vetted contractor?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

Do you do work for letting agents?

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

Will I be able to see the repair?

On a bath in good condition, a colour-matched repair is very hard to spot. On worn enamel, it can look shinier than the rest.

Can tenants book a repair?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

Is the work guaranteed?

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
