Bath repair near Brewer Street

Landlord and trade work in Brewer Street

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, photos and access details and we will arrange it.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

How we handle bath repair in Brewer Street

It pays to repair bath damage while it’s small. Exposed metal on enamelled baths soon rusts, while cracks in acrylic grow each time the bath moves. A repair stops both. We work on acrylic, cast iron enamel and pressed steel enamel, and common reasons people get in touch are deep scratches in acrylic and a failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting.

You are covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Looking after it afterwards

Aftercare is simple:

  • Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
  • Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
  • Rinse it down after each bath
  • Store metal items away from the bath

Leave the repair to cure for as long as we say before using the bath. After that, gentle cleaning keeps it looking good.

If an acrylic bath has a crack, stop showering in it until it’s repaired. Every use opens the crack a little more, and it can start to leak underneath.

Why repair rather than replace?

Cast iron baths in particular are worth repairing: they’re very heavy to remove, especially upstairs, and replacing like for like isn’t cheap. A repair keeps it in place. Prices start from £95. A repair generally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Common problems we fix in Brewer Street

Rust generally starts where water sits, by the plughole, beneath dripping taps or in an unrepaired chip. Once water reaches the steel or iron, rust spreads under the enamel.

Look out for any of the following:

  • Chips on the rim or sides
  • A kit repair that didn’t last
  • Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
  • Rust spots around the plughole

What to look for in a quote

  • How soon you can use it again
  • How the colour is matched
  • What happens if they find more damage
  • How your room will be protected

Choosing a repair company

What we can’t put right

Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits:

  • Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
  • Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we can’t get to from below
  • Wear across the entire surface, which needs re-enamelling

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

Surfaces we repair

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

Repairs by material

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

Pressed steel

Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.

What bath repair costs

Repairs from £95. There is no area surcharge for Brewer Street. The price reflects:

  • Access to the area
  • How much damage there is
  • The material and finish
  • How many items we do on one visit

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You will see the full price before you book, with nothing added on the day.

How to get a fixed price

Two or three clear pictures are generally enough. It helps if you send:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • The material, if you know it
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.

Brewer Street questions

Which areas do you work in?

The entire UK, including all of Surrey. Just include your postcode and we will confirm dates.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

Your quote covers the damage in the photos. If there is more, we will tell you before starting.

How long does the repair take to cure?

Normally by the following day, though it depends on what we have done.

Are there extra charges for Brewer Street?

Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Is there any odour?

It depends on the job, but often a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.

Will you leave a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.

The process

Your technician turns up when we said we would and checks the damage against your photos first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. The work itself takes two to three hours for most chips, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
  2. We clean, key and degrease the damage.
  3. Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
  4. We match both the colour and the shine.
  5. We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, normally the day after.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

How to get a price

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, add your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
