Bath repair in Bellingham

Bath repair at your home in Bellingham

Whether your bath is steel, cast iron or acrylic, we can repair it. Each material is repaired a little differently: metal baths need any rust dealt with first, and acrylic cracks need support from behind. We work on pressed steel enamel, roll-top & freestanding and acrylic, and the jobs we see most are a chipped rim or side and holes from dropped items.

You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there is a problem and we will come back.

The process

The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can stay at home while we’re there. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a few hours. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. We clean the area and remove any loose enamel or 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. We build up the finish and polish it into the surrounding enamel.
  5. The repair is left to cure, and most baths can be used the following day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Let us know about parking or access

Related advice

Should you replace it?

When the bath is otherwise sound, repairing beats replacing. It costs less, takes less time and causes far less upheaval, and you keep the bath you chose. Where the whole surface is tired, we may suggest re-enamelling instead. Our bath repair starts from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

What you get with us

  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • No need to remove anything

See our prices page and bath cost comparison.

What your bath is made of matters

Composite and resin

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

Pressed steel

Steel baths are lighter than cast iron, but have a similar enamel surface. Exposed steel rusts fast, especially around the waste, so repair chips early.

Honest limits

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
  • Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
  • A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Bellingham

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Greater London and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Your questions about bath repair in Bellingham

Can you match an avocado or pink bath?

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

What about rust by the waste?

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

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.

Can you repair a hole in a bath?

Often, if there’s access underneath. The hole is backed, filled and refinished to match.

What do you need from me?

Photos of the damage, a photo of the whole bath and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

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

Generally, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.

Will the repair show?

On a glossy bath, you will struggle to find it. On worn enamel, it can look shinier than the rest.

Can you repair a crack in an acrylic bath?

Frequently, yes, if we can reach the underside to reinforce it. Check under the bath panel, or send us a photo.

What bath repair costs

Repairs from £95. There’s no area surcharge for Bellingham. What changes the price is:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • The size and number of damaged areas

The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You will see the full price before you book.

Quotes from your photos

Two or three clear photos are generally enough. Try to include:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • The material, if you know it

Most customers in Bellingham get their price from pictures. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

When to call us in Bellingham

Damage during fitting is very common. Tools, tiles and fittings get dropped into the bath, and the damage isn’t always spotted until later. We repair snagging damage like this regularly.

These are the problems we’re asked about most:

  • Rust spots around the plughole
  • A kit repair that didn’t last
  • A chipped rim or side
  • A hole punched through by something heavy

What to look for in a quote

  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • What preparation is included
  • If travel is included in the price
  • Whether a trained technician does the job
