Signs you need bath repair in Brompton

Dropped items cause the majority of chips, and building work is a common culprit. Cracks in acrylic have a different cause: the bath isn’t properly supported, so it flexes under weight.

Contact us if you’ve noticed:

  • Damage beneath the taps
  • Rusty patches near the plughole
  • A hole punched through by something heavy
  • Snagging damage from a refit

Before you book anyone

  • How to look after the finish
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • How your room will be protected

Bath repair at your home in Brompton

We see every kind of bath damage: chips from dropped bottles, rust round the plughole, cracks in acrylic and holes from falling tools. All of it is repaired where the bath stands. Our technicians work on acrylic, pressed steel enamel and roll-top & freestanding, and common reasons people contact us are snagging damage from a refit and scratches you can feel with a fingernail.

Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

Common questions in Brompton

Is there a guarantee?

All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.

Is a bath repair durable?

Done properly, a repair lasts for years, and it’s guaranteed for a year. Gentle cleaning helps.

Will I be able to see the repair?

The goal is a repair that blends in. How well it disappears depends on the condition of the rest of the bath.

Do you cover Brompton?

Yes. We work across the UK and come to Brompton. Send photos and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. The rest of the house is unaffected.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Usually, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so let us know about it.

Are you a vetted contractor?

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

How long does the repair take to cure?

Most baths can be used the day after. We will tell you the exact curing time when we finish.

Keeping it looking good

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

  • Do not scrub with anything abrasive
  • Check that an acrylic bath doesn’t move when you stand in it
  • Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
  • Rinse it down after each bath

There is nothing special to do after a repair, beyond gentle cleaning. Skip bleach and gritty creams and rinse after use.

Tape over a fresh chip or crack until it’s repaired, so water can’t get in. Remove it before the repair.

What we do, step by step

Once we’re through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes a few hours, depending on the damage, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. First, we check the damage against your pictures and agree the plan.
  2. Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
  3. The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
  4. The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
  5. The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.

How to prepare

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

How we price bath repair

Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:

  • The material and finish
  • The type of damage
  • The colour and finish to match
  • How much damage there is

Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Brompton. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Getting a price from pictures

Before you send pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A picture taken from further back
  • What it’s made of, if you know

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire bath, we can price the job without visiting.

What we can’t put right

In fairness, some problems need a different fix:

  • Cracks in acrylic we can’t reach from underneath
  • Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
  • Metal that has corroded all the way through

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.

What we work on

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

DIY kit or professional repair?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.

Landlord and trade work in Brompton

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Brompton as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

What your bath is made of matters

Cast iron

A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that’s what we repair.

Pressed steel

Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
