Bath repair at your home in Battersea

A damaged bath does not have to mean a new bathroom. Our repair technicians fill, shape and refinish the damage, with the colour mixed on site. Common call-outs are for snagging damage from a refit and chips under the taps, in cast iron enamel, pressed steel enamel and roll-top & freestanding.

Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Looking after it afterwards

Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:

  • Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
  • Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
  • Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
  • If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted

A repaired bath needs no special treatment. Avoid bleach-based and gritty cleaners and give it a rinse after each bath.

Stop using the bath if a crack lets water through. Water under the bath can damage the floor and the ceiling below.

How we price bath repair

Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We look at:

  • The type of damage
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • What the surface is made of

Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

How to get a fixed quote

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

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed price.

Your questions about bath repair in Battersea

Will the price change on the day?

The price is fixed for what the pictures show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

Is there any odour?

There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.

Can pets and children be at home?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.

Is a bath repair durable?

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

Do you come to Battersea?

Yes. We cover the whole UK and come to Battersea. Send photos and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Are you accredited?

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

How long before I can use the bath?

Most baths can be used the next day. We’ll tell you the exact curing time when we finish.

Can you match an avocado or pink bath?

Yes. The colour is mixed on site to suit your bath, including pastel and older colours.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

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 generally the cheaper route.

For landlords and businesses

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Battersea as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it normally costs far less than a refit.

Do you need bath repair in Battersea?

Rust usually starts where water sits, around the waste, under the taps or in an old chip. Once water reaches the steel or iron, rust spreads under the enamel.

The things clients normally mention when they call include:

  • Chips on the rim or sides
  • An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
  • A chip where the taps sit
  • Chips caused by builders

What your quote should include

  • When it can be used again
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
  • Who turns up on the day

How to compare quotes

The process

We turn up when we said we would and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. Most visits take two to three hours for most chips, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. We clean the area and remove any loose enamel or rust.
  2. Next we fill the damage and sand it smooth and level.
  3. We tint the finish on the day to suit your bath’s shade of white or colour.
  4. We apply the finish coats and polish the repair so it blends in.
  5. Once it has cured, generally by the day after, the bath is ready to use.

How to prepare

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated

How to get a price

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.

The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

When we would advise against a repair

In fairness, there are a few things a repair will not fix:

  • Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
  • A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
  • A steel bath rusted through

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before you book.
