Bath repair in Eel Pie Island

What bath repair costs

Prices start from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • The material and finish

Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

Getting a price from photos

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Please include:

  • Any details about the material
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • One picture of the whole bath
  • Natural light rather than flash

We price from pictures so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.

Bath repair in Eel Pie Island without replacing anything

A typical bath repair is a few hours’ work, and the bath is back in use the following day. You won’t need a plumber or tiler, because the bath doesn’t move. We regularly repair roll-top & freestanding, whirlpool & spa baths and cast iron enamel, and the jobs we see most are a chipped rim or side and a kit repair that didn’t last.

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

Signs you need bath repair in Eel Pie Island

The usual cause is something heavy dropped into the bath, and building work is a common culprit. Cracks in acrylic have a different cause: poor support underneath, so the bath flexes when it’s full.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

  • Rust by the waste and overflow
  • Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
  • Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
  • Impact holes in acrylic

How to compare quotes

Eel Pie Island: your questions answered

What happens next?

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

Is a bath repair permanent?

A properly prepared repair should last a long time, and ours come with a one-year guarantee. Gentle cleaning helps it last.

Do I have to be there?

We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.

What do you need from me?

Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we’ll do the rest.

Do you cover the entire of Greater London?

Everywhere in the UK, Eel Pie Island included. Travel is included in the price.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

In nearly every case. If pictures don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

Can you repair a crack in an acrylic bath?

Often, yes, if we can reach the underside to reinforce it. Take off the bath panel and check, or send us a picture.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before.

What a repair cannot fix

A repair is not always the answer, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:

  • Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
  • A whole bath that is dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
  • Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we can’t get to from below

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

What we work on

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

The process

On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we will take it from there. Most visits take two to three hours for most chips, tidy-up included.

  1. First, we check the damage against your photos and agree the plan.
  2. Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
  3. We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
  4. We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
  5. Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.

How to prepare

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Open a window if you can
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

How to get a price

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed price.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

Different materials, different repairs

Pressed steel

Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.

Composite and resin

Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid, and often freestanding. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, in much the same way.

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing a fitted bath typically means a plumber, lifting out the old bath, making good the tiles and panel and disposing of the old one. A repair fixes just the damaged area in one visit. Prices start from £95. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You will see the full price before booking.

Why book with us

  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • One-year guarantee on every repair

How to care for the repair

Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:

  • Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
  • Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
  • Do not leave razors or cans standing in the bath
  • Check that an acrylic bath doesn’t move when you stand in it

For the first few days, keep heavy bottles off the repaired spot. After that, normal gentle cleaning is fine.

Avoid standing in a cracked acrylic bath until it’s fixed. Each time it flexes, the crack grows, and water can get through to the floor below.
