How we handle bath repair in East End Green

We repair enamelled steel, cast iron and acrylic baths. Each material is repaired a little differently: rust is treated on metal baths, while cracks in acrylic are reinforced from underneath. Typical jobs include deep scratches in acrylic and a kit repair that didn’t last, across roll-top & freestanding, cast iron enamel and acrylic.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Can I fix it myself?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

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 photos.

How we price bath repair

Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed price from pictures. This is what makes a difference:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Access to the area

What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.

Getting a price from pictures

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:

  • A wider photo showing the entire bath
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

East End Green: your questions answered

Can rust on a bath be repaired?

Yes. We remove the rust and loose enamel, seal and fill the area, then colour-match the finish.

How quickly can you book me in?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

Is it messy?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Normally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

What do you need from me?

Photos of the damage, a photo of the whole bath and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.

Are you a vetted contractor?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

What your bath is made of matters

Acrylic

Acrylic baths are moulded sheet reinforced underneath. There is 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.

How it works

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you are not left guessing. On site, it takes a few hours in most cases. The room is left tidy and you will know when it can be used.

  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. Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
  5. We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, generally the day after.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Getting a price

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.

Advice

Work for landlords and builders

If you manage property in East End Green, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Just send photos for each address and we’ll come back with a combined price.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

When a repair is not the answer

We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:

  • Wear across the entire surface, which needs re-enamelling
  • Cracks in acrylic we cannot reach from underneath
  • Leaking fittings, which need a plumber

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

Materials we work on in East End Green

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

Aftercare tips

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

  • A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
  • If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
  • Don’t leave a fresh chip for long
  • Cover the bath during DIY or decorating

Keep metal objects like razors and cans off the surface, because they can mark the enamel. And fix dripping taps promptly.

Don’t leave a chip on a steel or cast iron bath. Water gets to the metal and rust starts, turning a quick repair into a bigger one.

Signs you need bath repair in East End Green

Dropped items cause the majority of chips, and a lot happen during bathroom refits. Cracks in acrylic have a different cause: the bath isn’t properly supported, so it flexes under weight.

Signs it’s time to call us include:

  • Chips on the rim or sides
  • Rust by the waste and overflow
  • Holes from dropped items
  • A kit repair that didn’t last

Questions to ask before you book

  • What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
  • How the room is protected while they work
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • How long it needs to cure
