Bath repair in Benhilton

Bath repair at your home in Benhilton

You do not need a new bath because of a chip. We fill the damage, shape it to the curve of the bath and refinish it, mixing the colour on the day so the repair is hard to spot. Whether it’s snagging damage from a refit and rust spots around the plughole, we can normally put it right, on cast iron enamel, whirlpool & spa baths and pressed steel enamel alike.

Every job is backed for twelve months in Benhilton and everywhere else. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. 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.

Honest limits

A repair is not right for every job, including:

  • A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
  • Wear across the entire surface, which needs re-enamelling
  • Acrylic cracks with no access behind them

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

Materials we repair

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

Repairs by material

Cast iron

Cast iron is heavy and rigid, finished with fired enamel. A chip down to the iron can rust, but the body of the bath lasts a very long time, which makes it well worth repairing.

Composite and resin

Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour matched, in much the same way.

What affects the price in Benhilton

Repairs from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Benhilton. The price depends on:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Access to the area

We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Benhilton. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • A picture taken from further back

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and no obligation.

Work for landlords and builders

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Greater London and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

How it works

Here’s how a visit normally runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and tidy away. Plan for a morning or an afternoon. Before we go, we’ll explain when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. We protect the bath and the floor around it.
  2. The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased, and any rust is treated.
  3. Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
  4. We match both the colour and the shine.
  5. We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the next day.

Before we arrive

  • Open a window if you can
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

In most cases. The back of the crack is strengthened before the front is filled and refinished, so we need access under the bath.

How to compare quotes

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing a fitted bath normally involves a plumber, removing the old bath, making good the tiles and panel and disposing of the old one. Repairing it fixes just the damaged area in one visit. Prices start from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.
