Bath repair near Anerley

How we handle bath repair in Anerley

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. If you are dealing with a chip where the taps sit and rust spots around the plughole, we can typically put it right, whatever the material.

Every job is backed for twelve months in Anerley and everywhere else. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Different materials, different repairs

Cast iron

A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that’s the part we put right.

Composite and resin

Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid, and frequently freestanding. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour matched, just like other baths.

Signs you need bath repair in Anerley

A cracked acrylic bath usually wasn’t supported properly. Legs that aren’t adjusted, a missing cradle or a soft floor let the bath move until it cracks.

People normally call us when they notice one of these:

  • Scuffs and scratches in the surface
  • A chip where the taps sit
  • Rust by the waste and overflow
  • Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted

Choosing a repair company

DIY kit or professional repair?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Landlord and trade work in Anerley

Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

If you manage property in Anerley, we will quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we will price them together.

The process

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you are not left guessing. On site, it takes two to three hours for most chips for most jobs. We leave the room clean and you’ll know when it can be used.

  1. We protect the bath and the floor around it.
  2. We clean, key and degrease the damage.
  3. Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
  4. Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
  5. We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the next day.

How to prepare

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

Ask for a price

Upload photos of the damage and one of the entire item, with your SE20 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

Advice

Honest limits

Not everything can be repaired, and we’d rather say so up front. We can’t fix:

  • Cracks in acrylic we cannot reach from underneath
  • Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
  • Leaking fittings, which need a plumber

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

What we work on

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

Common questions in Anerley

Do I have to be there?

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

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in Anerley.

Is there a guarantee?

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

Is a cracked acrylic bath repairable?

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

What happens after I send pictures?

You get a fixed price and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.

Is a bath repair durable?

It should, as long as the bath is firm and the area was prepared well. It’s covered by our one-year guarantee.

Are there extra charges for Anerley?

No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Typically, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

How we price bath repair

Repairs from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:

  • Access to the area
  • How much damage there is
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • What kind of damage it is

There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

How to get a fixed price

You can take the pictures on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Just ensure we can see:

  • The material, if you know it
  • A wider photo showing the whole bath
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

If you’re in Anerley and want a price, photos are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

Keeping it looking good

Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:

  • Rinse it down after each bath
  • Check that an acrylic bath does not move when you stand in it
  • Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
  • Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning

Keep metal objects like razors and cans off the surface, because they can mark the enamel. A dripping tap should be fixed early, too.

Until we visit, a strip of waterproof tape over the damage helps, so water can’t get in. Remove it before the repair.
