Bath repair near East Morden

Looking after it afterwards

How the surface is treated afterwards matters:

  • Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
  • Have new chips seen to early
  • Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
  • Get a dripping tap fixed promptly

Leave the repair to cure for as long as we say before running a bath. After that, gentle cleaning keeps it looking good.

Tape over a fresh chip or crack until it’s repaired, to keep water out. Take it off before we arrive.

For landlords and businesses

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access.

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

What your bath is made of matters

Composite and resin

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

Cast iron

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

Should you replace it?

People often assume a cracked or chipped bath has to come out. In most cases it doesn’t: a repair keeps the bath in service for years, without the cost and upheaval of replacing it. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

What a repair can’t fix

We’d rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:

  • Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
  • Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we cannot get to from below
  • Metal that has corroded all the way through

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Materials we work on in East Morden

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

The process

We begin by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we’re doing. Then the area is sheeted and masked and the work begins. Allow a morning or an afternoon.

  1. First, we check the damage against your pictures and agree the plan.
  2. Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
  3. The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
  4. The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
  5. Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.

How to prepare

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Advice

Your questions about bath repair in East Morden

Is there any odour?

There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.

Do you charge for travel?

There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.

When can you do it?

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

Will it make a mess?

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

How long does the repair take to cure?

Normally by the following day, though it depends on what we’ve done.

Do you come to East Morden?

Yes, we do. Technicians travel to East Morden from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.

What does bath repair cost?

Repairs from £95. We give a fixed quote from your pictures. Send a close-up and a photo of the entire item with your BH20 postcode.

Can rust on a bath be repaired?

Yes, it’s one of the most common repairs we do. We take it back to sound metal, seal it, fill it and match the colour.

How we price bath repair

Prices start from £95. We price every job individually, from your photos. What matters most is:

  • What the surface is made of
  • How many areas need work
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • How hard the colour is to match

The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You will see the full price before booking, with nothing added on the day.

Quotes from your pictures

We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what to send:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Any details about the material
  • One picture of the whole bath
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

Upload photos of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you’re in East Morden, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

DIY kit or professional repair?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

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.
