Bath repair in Copse Hill

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

Bath repair in Copse Hill without replacing anything

We see every kind of bath damage: chips from dropped bottles, rust round the plughole, cracks in acrylic and holes from falling tools. Each is repaired in place. Common call-outs are for cracks in an acrylic bath and holes from dropped items, on pressed steel enamel, cast iron enamel and acrylic.

All our work is covered by our one-year guarantee.

Common problems we fix in Copse Hill

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.

Look out for any of the following:

  • A chip where the taps sit
  • Snagging damage from a refit
  • Cracks in an acrylic bath
  • Chips on the rim or sides

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Cast iron

A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that is what we repair.

Pressed steel

Steel baths are lighter than cast iron, but have a similar enamel surface. Exposed steel rusts fast, especially around the waste, so early repairs matter.

How the visit works

Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. Most visits take a few hours, depending on the damage, and we leave the room as we found it.

  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. 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. The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

How to get a price

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.

The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Copse Hill: your questions answered

Can you redo an old repair?

Yes. We remove the old filler and start again. Tell us about it when you send pictures.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

Can a cracked acrylic bath be fixed?

In most cases. The back of the crack is strengthened before the front is filled and refinished, so we need access under the bath.

What happens if you find more damage?

We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

Are you a vetted contractor?

We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

How long before I can use the bath?

Usually the day after. We will tell you the exact curing time when we finish.

Do you cover Copse Hill?

Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Copse Hill. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. There is no charge for travel to Copse Hill. The price comes down to:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Copse Hill. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Send pictures for a quote

Two or three clear pictures are usually enough. Try to include:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Natural light rather than flash

To get a price, send a couple of pictures through our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

What we cannot put right

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
  • Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
  • Acrylic cracks with no access behind them

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before booking.

What we work on

  • Pressed steel enamel
  • Cast iron enamel
  • Whirlpool & spa baths
