Bath repair in Chelsea Harbour

Bath repair at your home in Chelsea Harbour

Whether your bath is steel, cast iron or acrylic, we can repair it. Each material is repaired a little differently: metal baths need any rust dealt with first, and acrylic cracks need support from behind. We regularly repair pressed steel enamel, cast iron enamel and acrylic, and people most frequently call us about a cracked acrylic bath and rusty patches near the plughole.

We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Before and after: a chipped, rust-stained bath around the plughole

What we do, step by step

On the day, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take a few hours, depending on the damage. We clean up when we’re done and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. First, we check the damage against your photos and agree the plan.
  2. Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
  3. We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to 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.

Preparing for the visit

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Clear the area around the damage

Ask for a price

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

What we’re called out for in Chelsea Harbour

Damage during fitting is very common. Tradespeople drop tools and tiles into the bath, frequently before anyone notices. We repair snagging damage like this regularly.

Keep an eye out for these signs:

  • Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
  • Rust by the waste and overflow
  • A hole punched through by something heavy
  • A kit repair that didn’t last

Before you book anyone

  • What aftercare is recommended
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • How long it needs to cure
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges

Our hiring checklist

Landlord and trade work in Chelsea Harbour

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Chelsea Harbour use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

If you manage property in Chelsea Harbour, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Send pictures for each one and we will price them together.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • What the surface is made of

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 make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Quotes from your photos

We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what to send:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Details of any past repairs
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

Why repair rather than replace?

People frequently assume a cracked or chipped bath has to come out. In most cases it does not: a repair keeps the bath in service for years, without the cost and upheaval of replacing it. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Why book with us

  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • Most jobs done in one visit

Aftercare tips

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
  • Don’t scrub with anything abrasive
  • If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
  • Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale

In the first few days, avoid putting weight or bottles on the repair. After that, clean it as you would the rest of the bath.

If an acrylic bath has a crack, stop showering in it until it’s repaired. Each time it flexes, the crack grows, and water can get through to the floor below.

DIY kit or professional repair?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

What a repair cannot fix

It helps to know what we cannot do too:

  • Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
  • A steel bath rusted through
  • Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Surfaces we repair

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