Bath repair near Bromley

How we handle bath repair in Bromley

Most of our bath repairs take a few hours, and the bath is back in use the next day. There is no need to book a plumber or tiler, because the bath does not move. Our repair technicians work on pressed steel enamel, acrylic and cast iron enamel, and the jobs we see most are snagging damage from a refit and chips on the rim or sides.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right, ring us and we will sort it.

What affects the price in Bromley

Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:

  • What the surface is made of
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Access to the area
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Send pictures for a quote

Most quotes are done from photos alone. To help us price it:

  • A picture taken from further back
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

For a price in Bromley, pictures are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

How to care for the repair

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
  • Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
  • Check that an acrylic bath does not move when you stand in it
  • Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath

Look after the repair the same way as the bath: warm water, washing-up liquid and a soft cloth. Keep scouring pads and gritty cleaners away from it.

Stop using the bath if a crack lets water through until it’s repaired. Water under the bath can damage the floor and the ceiling below.

What we do, step by step

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and start once you’re happy with the plan. Most jobs take a few hours, depending on the damage, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.

  1. We protect the bath and the floor around it.
  2. We clean, key and degrease the damage, and any rust is treated.
  3. We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
  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

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Let us know about parking or access

Getting a price

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire bath, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

Advice

FAQs for Bromley

What happens if you find more damage?

We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Usually, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

How invisible is a bath repair?

On a bath in good condition, a colour-matched repair is very hard to spot. On worn enamel, it can look shinier than the rest.

Will the repair last?

A properly prepared repair should last a long time, and it’s guaranteed for a year. Gentle cleaning helps it last.

I tried a repair kit. Can you fix it?

Yes, we do this often. The old material comes out, any rust is treated, then we repair it properly.

How much does bath repair cost in Bromley?

Repairs from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You will get a fixed figure before booking.

Which areas do you work in?

All of Greater London, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.

Should you replace it?

Cast iron baths in particular are worth repairing: getting one out, particularly from an upstairs bathroom, is a big job, and a like-for-like replacement can be expensive. A repair keeps it in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

  • Cracks in an acrylic bath
  • Rust spots around the plughole

Choosing a repair company

DIY kit or professional repair?

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

Work for landlords and builders

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Bromley use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it generally costs far less than a refit.

Letting agents frequently send us photos 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.

What your bath is made of matters

Pressed steel

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

Composite and resin

Composite baths are dense and solid, and frequently freestanding. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, in much the same way.
