Buckhurst Hill: your questions answered

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

What areas do you cover?

We work UK-wide, and that includes Buckhurst Hill. Our prices are the same everywhere.

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

You will get a fixed quote back, plus dates. There’s no obligation to book.

Can you repair several things at once?

Of course, and it normally saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you will get one combined price.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

Will I be able to see the 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.

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

Usually, yes. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send photos.

Do you charge for travel?

Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Can I fix it myself?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Do you need bath repair in Buckhurst Hill?

Glass and heavy bottles cause more chips than anything else, with dropped shower heads close behind. Taps and wastes cause problems too: water sits around them, and any chip there soon rusts.

Signs it’s time to call us include:

  • An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
  • A chip where the taps sit
  • Deep scratches in acrylic
  • Impact holes in acrylic

Choosing a repair company

What bath repair costs

Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from photos. These are the things that affect it:

  • The material and finish
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • The type of damage
  • How much damage there is

We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Quotes from your photos

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

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • A wider photo showing the whole bath
  • The material, if you know it
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

Send us photos of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you are in Buckhurst Hill, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

When a repair is not the answer

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:

  • Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
  • Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we can’t get to from below
  • Metal that has corroded all the way through

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

Surfaces we repair

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

Should you replace it?

Think about the hidden costs of a new bath: taking out the old one, plumbing, tiling, a panel and redecorating. With a repair, it’s one visit and one price. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.

What you get with us

  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • One price list for the entire UK
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • Work done at your home or business

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Acrylic

Acrylic baths are moulded sheet reinforced underneath. There’s no rust, but cracks, holes and scratches happen, and cracks need support from behind to stay fixed.

Composite and resin

Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid, and frequently freestanding. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, just like other baths.

What happens on the day

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, do the job and tidy away. Allow a morning or an afternoon from start to finish. Before we go, we’ll explain when it can be used and how to care for it.

  1. We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
  2. Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
  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. Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated

How to get a price

For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Looking after it afterwards

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Have new chips seen to early
  • Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
  • Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
  • Rinse it down after each bath

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

Rust under enamel spreads surprisingly quickly. Left for months, a small chip can grow into a large rust patch, so it pays to deal with it early.
