Bath repair in Dagenham Dock, done in place

Bath repair is our most common job. A chip by the taps, a crack in the base and a rust spot by the plughole are all fixed without removing the bath, normally in one visit. Typical jobs include a hole punched through by something heavy and chips caused by builders, across acrylic, pressed steel enamel and cast iron enamel.

Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

DIY kit or professional repair?

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.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.

What bath repair costs

Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Dagenham Dock. What changes the price is:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

Compared with replacing, repairing normally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Quotes from your photos

Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To help us price it:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • One picture of the whole bath
  • Where you are, by postcode

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.

Looking after it afterwards

To keep it looking its best for years:

  • Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
  • Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
  • Have new chips seen to early
  • Give the bath a quick rinse after use

There is nothing special to do after a repair, just sensible cleaning. Avoid bleach-based and gritty cleaners.

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.

Questions from Dagenham Dock

Do you come to Dagenham Dock?

Yes, we do. Technicians travel to Dagenham Dock from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.

Do I have to be there?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.

How long before I can use the bath?

Most baths can be used the next day. We’ll tell you the exact curing time when we finish.

Do you hold any accreditations?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

Can you match an avocado or pink bath?

Yes, coloured baths are no problem. The colour is tinted by hand on the day.

What does bath repair cost?

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

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

The process

From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes a few hours, depending on the damage, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  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. We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
  4. We match both the colour and the shine.
  5. We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the next day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

When to call us in Dagenham Dock

Rust normally starts where water sits, by the plughole, beneath dripping taps or in an unrepaired chip. Water on bare metal causes rust that creeps under the surrounding enamel.

Contact us if you’ve noticed:

  • Chips along the edge of the bath
  • A hole punched through by something heavy
  • Deep scratches in acrylic
  • Snagging damage from a refit
