Bath repair near Cranbrook

Bath repair in Cranbrook, done in place

We repair just the damaged spot and colour-match it to the bath, which costs far less than replacing a fitted bath and the tiles around it. You can normally use the bath the day after. We work on pressed steel enamel, roll-top & freestanding and cast iron enamel, and the jobs we see most are snagging damage from a refit and chips under the taps.

Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Cranbrook and across Greater London.

The process

Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. The work itself takes a few hours, 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.
  3. Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
  4. We match both the colour and the shine.
  5. We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the day after.

Preparing for the visit

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Advice

Do you need bath repair in Cranbrook?

Dropped items cause the majority of chips, and a lot happen during bathroom refits. Acrylic baths crack for a different reason: poor support underneath, so the bath flexes when it’s full.

People normally call us when they notice something like this:

  • Holes from dropped items
  • A failed DIY repair that is discoloured or lifting
  • A cracked acrylic bath
  • Damage beneath the taps

What your quote should include

  • What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • How your room will be protected
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match

Choosing a repair company

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Acrylic

Acrylic baths are moulded sheet reinforced underneath. There’s no rust, but cracks, holes and scratches happen, and cracks need support from behind to stay fixed.

Composite and resin

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

Keeping it looking good

A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:

  • Put a towel in the bath if you’re working above it
  • Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
  • If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
  • Rinse it down after each bath

Use gentle, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy items on the repaired area. Deal with new chips early, before rust sets in.

If an acrylic bath has a crack, stop showering in it until it’s repaired. Each time it flexes, the crack grows, and it can start to leak underneath.

What affects the price in Cranbrook

Prices start from £95. There is no area surcharge for Cranbrook. What changes the price is:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Access to the area
  • The material and finish

We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Cranbrook. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Quotes from your pictures

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Try to send:

  • One picture of the entire bath
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Natural light rather than flash

For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

When a repair isn’t the answer

A repair isn’t right for every job, including:

  • A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
  • A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
  • Cracks in acrylic we cannot reach from underneath

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

Questions from Cranbrook

How do I get a price for bath repair in Cranbrook?

Repairs from £95. We give a fixed quote based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up and a photo of the whole item with your IG1 postcode.

How do I book?

Photos of the damage, a photo of the entire bath and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes, for a year. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Do you charge for travel?

There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Generally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.

How quickly can you book me in?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.

Do you repair coloured baths?

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

Work for landlords and builders

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
