East Drayton questions

Will you leave a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.

What happens after I send photos?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote and the next dates we have.

How much does bath repair cost in East Drayton?

Repairs from £95. We give a fixed price based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your DN22 postcode.

Something went through my bath. Can it be fixed?

Often, if there is access underneath. We back the hole, fill it and refinish the surface.

Can you redo an old repair?

Regularly. The old material comes out, any rust is treated, then we repair it properly.

Do you charge for travel?

No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Will I be able to see the repair?

On a bath in good condition, a colour matched repair is very hard to spot. On worn enamel, it can look shinier than the rest.

Is there any odour?

Expect a mild smell while we’re working.

How we handle bath repair in East Drayton

You don’t need a new bath because of a chip. Our technicians fill, shape and refinish the damage, with the colour mixed on site. We are often asked to fix rust spots around the plughole and deep scratches in acrylic, in acrylic, pressed steel enamel and cast iron enamel.

Every job is backed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Signs you need bath repair in East Drayton

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, a chip that reaches the metal will start to rust.

If you can see any of these, send us a photo:

  • Deep scratches in acrylic
  • Snagging damage from a refit
  • A cracked acrylic bath
  • A hole punched through by something heavy

What your quote should include

  • What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • How the colour is matched
  • What prep work is covered

Our hiring checklist

What your bath is made of matters

Pressed steel

Pressed steel is thinner and lighter, with an enamel finish like cast iron. Chips rust quickly on steel, especially around the waste, so repair chips early.

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are thick and very strong, finished with fired enamel. Chips can rust if left, but the body of the bath lasts a very long time, which makes it well worth repairing.

Why repair rather than replace?

When the bath is otherwise sound, repairing beats replacing. It’s quicker, cheaper and far less disruptive, and the bathroom stays as it is. If the whole surface is worn, re-enamelling may make more sense, and we will tell you. Prices start from £95. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Why book with us

  • Fixed prices from your photos
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job

Read our pricing or resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.

The process

There’s not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll get on with it. Most visits take a few hours, including clearing up.

  1. We clean the area and remove any loose enamel or rust.
  2. We fill the damage and sand it flush with the surrounding surface.
  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. We leave it to cure; you can typically use the bath the following day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Getting a price

Upload pictures of the damage and one of the whole item, with your DN22 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. We price every job individually. What matters most is:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • How much damage there is
  • What kind of damage it is
  • How easy the damage is to reach

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

How to get a fixed price

Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

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 quote. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.

Aftercare tips

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Give the bath a quick rinse after use
  • Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
  • Don’t leave a fresh chip for long
  • Check that an acrylic bath does not move when you stand in it

A repaired bath needs no special treatment, just sensible cleaning. Skip bleach and gritty creams and give it a rinse after each bath.

Rust spreads under enamel faster than most people expect. Left for months, a small chip can grow into a large rust patch, so it pays to deal with it early.

Landlord and trade work in East Drayton

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we will arrange it.

Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

What a repair cannot fix

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:

  • A steel bath rusted through
  • A whole bath that is dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
  • A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)

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