Bath repair near Clapham Green

DIY kit or professional repair?

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

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

Bath repair at your home in Clapham Green

A repair fixes just the damaged area and blends it into the rest of the bath, which is far cheaper than replacing a fitted bath and the tiles around it. Most baths can be used again the next day. We’re frequently asked to fix chips on the rim or sides and rust spots around the plughole, across pressed steel enamel, roll-top & freestanding and cast iron enamel.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are not left on your own once we’ve gone.

How the visit works

You don’t need to empty the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and start once you are happy with the plan. Most jobs take a morning or an afternoon, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. First, we check the damage against your photos and agree the plan.
  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. We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
  5. Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

How to get a price

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

Advice

Repair or replace in Clapham Green?

People frequently assume a cracked or chipped bath has to come out. Normally it doesn’t: a proper repair gives it years more use, and costs far less than the disruption of a replacement. Prices start from £95. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

What you get with us

  • One visit for most repairs
  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited

See our pricing and resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.

What we are called out for in Clapham Green

Most bath damage comes from something 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 will start to rust.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

  • Chips caused by builders
  • Rust spots around the plughole
  • Holes from dropped items
  • An old repair that has yellowed or come loose

Choosing a repair company

What affects the price in Clapham Green

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

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Doing more than one item at once

Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

How to get a fixed quote

Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Please include:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.

What a repair cannot fix

To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:

  • Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
  • Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
  • Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)

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

What we work on

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

Different materials, different repairs

Acrylic

Acrylic baths are moulded sheet reinforced underneath. There’s no rust, but cracks, holes and scratches happen, and a crack only stays repaired if it’s supported underneath.

Composite and resin

Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour matched, just like other baths.

Questions from Clapham Green

Will you leave a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.

Do you work in Clapham Green?

Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Clapham Green and the rest of North Yorkshire. Send pictures and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

What does bath repair cost?

Repairs from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Can you fix rust around the plughole?

Yes. We take out the rust and any loose enamel, fill the area, then colour-match the finish.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.

Is my repair covered?

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

Can you match an avocado or pink bath?

Yes. We mix the colour on the day to match, including older coloured suites.

Will the repair show?

The goal is a repair that blends in. The rest of the bath’s condition makes a difference.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Clapham Green

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

Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
