Bath repair for Chelsham homes

What your bath is made of matters

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that’s the part we put right.

Composite and resin

Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid, and frequently freestanding. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour-matched, in much the same way.

Bath repair in Chelsham without replacing anything

We repair enamelled steel, cast iron and acrylic baths. The method changes with the material: metal baths need any rust dealt with first, and acrylic cracks need support from behind. Whether it’s damage beneath the taps and holes from dropped items, we can normally put it right, on pressed steel enamel, roll-top & freestanding and cast iron enamel alike.

Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Cast iron baths especially are worth keeping: they’re very heavy to remove, especially upstairs, and replacing like for like is not cheap. Repairing it leaves it where it is. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You will see the full price before you book, with nothing added on the day.

Why us?

  • Generally one visit, start to finish
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures

When a repair is not the answer

Not everything can be repaired, and we’d rather say so up front. We can’t fix:

  • A whole bath that is dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
  • Metal that has corroded all the way through
  • Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet

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

How we price bath repair

Repairs from £95. There’s no area surcharge for Chelsham. The price reflects:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • How many areas need work
  • The material

Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Quotes from your photos

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

For a price in Chelsham, the easiest route is pictures: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

FAQs for Chelsham

Do you cover the entire of Surrey?

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

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.

Is it messy?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.

When can you do it?

Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.

Can you repair a chip on a coloured bath?

Yes, we match coloured baths too. The colour is tinted by hand on the day.

Is there a guarantee?

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and we’ll quote them together.

Do I have to be there?

We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.

Common problems we fix in Chelsham

Nearly all the chips we see start with something being dropped: a shampoo bottle, a shower head, a tile or a tool during a refit. On steel and cast iron baths, any chip down to the metal lets water in, and rust follows.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

  • Chips along the edge of the bath
  • Rust spots around the plughole
  • An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
  • A hole punched through by something heavy

How to compare quotes

DIY repairs versus a professional job

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.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

For landlords and businesses

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip.

What we do, step by step

We turn up when we said we would and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. The work itself takes a few hours, depending on the damage, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
  2. The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased, and any rust is treated.
  3. Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
  4. We match both the colour and the shine.
  5. We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, normally the next day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
