About our bath repair in Cannon's Green

Whether your bath is steel, cast iron or acrylic, we can repair it. The method changes with the material: rust is treated on metal baths, while cracks in acrylic are reinforced from underneath. If you’re dealing with chips along the edge of the bath and hairline or through cracks in acrylic, we can normally put it right, on whirlpool & spa baths, cast iron enamel and pressed steel enamel alike.

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

DIY kit or professional repair?

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

For landlords and businesses

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

How to care for the repair

Aftercare is simple:

  • A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
  • Store metal items away from the bath
  • Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
  • Give the bath a quick rinse after use

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.

Tape over a fresh chip or crack until it’s repaired, to keep water out. Take it off before we arrive.

What we are called out for in Cannon's Green

Rust tends to begin where water collects, around the waste, under the taps or in an old chip. Water on bare metal causes rust that creeps under the surrounding enamel.

Keep an eye out for these signs:

  • Chips under the taps
  • Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
  • Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
  • A hole punched through by something heavy

Questions to ask before booking

  • When it can be used again
  • What aftercare is recommended
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • If travel is included in the price

Questions from Cannon's Green

Will the repair last?

Yes, if it’s prepared properly and the bath is sound. It’s covered by our one-year guarantee.

Is there a call-out fee?

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

Something went through my bath. Can it be fixed?

Generally. Send us a picture of the hole and one from under the bath if you can.

How do I book?

Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787.

How quickly can you book me in?

Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Is my repair covered?

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.

How long before I can use the bath?

Most baths can be used the next day. We confirm the time before we leave.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Typically, yes. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.

Different materials, different repairs

Composite and resin

Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour-matched, just like other baths.

Pressed steel

Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.

What a repair cannot fix

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • A steel bath rusted through
  • Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
  • Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.

Materials we repair

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

Repair or replace: which is better?

If the rest of the bath is in good condition, a repair is almost always the better choice. It’s quicker, cheaper and far less disruptive, and you keep the bath you chose. Where the entire surface is tired, we may suggest re-enamelling instead. Our bath repair starts from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You will see the full price before booking, with nothing added on the day.

What happens on the day

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you know when to expect us. Once we’re there, the work takes a few hours, depending on the damage. We leave the room clean.

  1. We protect the bath and the floor around it.
  2. We clean, key and degrease the damage.
  3. Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
  4. Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
  5. We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, typically the day after.

Preparing for the visit

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
