Crews Hill: your questions answered

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders across Greater London.

I tried a repair kit. Can you fix it?

Yes. We remove the old filler and start again. Mention it when you send pictures.

Is it messy?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.

How invisible is a bath repair?

On a glossy bath, you’ll struggle to find it. On worn enamel, it can look shinier than the rest.

Is there a guarantee?

Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Can you quote from photos?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.

What happens next?

We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.

Do you repair coloured baths?

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

Landlords, agents and businesses in Crews Hill

If you manage property in Crews Hill, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send pictures for each address and we’ll come back with a combined price.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

DIY kit or professional repair?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing a fitted bath normally involves a plumber, removing the old bath, making good the tiles and panel and getting rid of the old bath. A repair fixes just the damaged area in one visit. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.

How we price bath repair

Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • The size and number of damaged areas

The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Quotes from your pictures

You can take the pictures on your phone. Ensure they show:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Details of any past repairs
  • One picture of the entire bath
  • Any details about the material

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos through our quote form or ring us. We’ll say straight away if a repair is the right fix.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Cast iron

Cast iron is heavy and rigid, with a fused enamel surface. Chips can rust if left, but the body of the bath lasts a very long time, which makes it well worth repairing.

Composite and resin

Composite baths are dense and solid, and frequently freestanding. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, just like other baths.

What we do, step by step

Here’s how a visit usually runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and clear up. Plan for a few hours, depending on the damage. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
  2. Next we fill the damage and sand it smooth and level.
  3. We tint the finish on the day to suit your bath’s shade of white or colour.
  4. We apply the finish coats and polish the repair so it blends in.
  5. Once it has cured, normally by the next day, the bath is ready to use.

Preparing for the visit

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Advice

Honest limits

Some jobs are not right for a repair, including:

  • Metal that has corroded all the way through
  • Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
  • A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before booking.

Materials we repair

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

How to look after the repair

It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:

  • Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
  • Store metal items away from the bath
  • Have new chips seen to early
  • Cover the bath during DIY or decorating

Use gentle, non-abrasive cleaners and try not to drop heavy bottles on the repair. Deal with new chips early, before rust sets in.

A chip on a metal bath shouldn’t be left. Once water reaches the metal, rust begins, turning a quick repair into a bigger one.
