Bath repair in Epsom Downs

Landlords, agents and businesses in Epsom Downs

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, photos and access details and we will handle the rest.

Bath repair in Epsom Downs, done in place

A repair fixes just the damaged area and blends it into the rest of the bath, which costs far less than replacing a fitted bath. You can generally use the bath the following day. Common call-outs are for snagging damage from a refit and chips under the taps, on acrylic, pressed steel enamel and whirlpool & spa baths.

Every repair is covered by a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Surrey.

Common questions in Epsom Downs

What information do you need?

Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.

Can you repair a hole in a bath?

Typically, yes, if we can reach behind it. The hole is backed, filled and refinished to match.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

You get a fixed price and available dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.

Will the repair last?

It should, as long as the bath is firm and the area was prepared well. It’s covered by our one-year guarantee.

Do I need to be at home?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.

How quickly can you book me in?

That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.

Can a cracked acrylic bath be fixed?

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

Repair or replace: which is better?

For damage in one or two places, a repair is the obvious choice. It’s a fraction of the cost of a new bath and fitting, it takes one visit, and the bathroom stays exactly as it is. Prices start from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

When to call us in Epsom Downs

Many chips happen while the bathroom is being fitted. Tradespeople drop tools and tiles into the bath, and the damage isn’t always spotted until later. Snagging repairs like these are a regular job for us.

Common reasons people in Epsom Downs contact us include:

  • Holes from dropped items
  • Scuffs and scratches in the surface
  • Cracks in an acrylic bath
  • Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted

What your quote should include

  • What prep work is covered
  • What happens if they find more damage
  • Aftercare advice
  • How long it needs to cure

How to compare quotes

Looking after it afterwards

Aftercare is simple:

  • Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
  • Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
  • Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
  • Do not leave razors or cans standing in the bath

Use gentle, non-abrasive cleaners and try not to drop heavy bottles on the repair. Get any new chip seen to quickly, before rust can start.

Stop using the bath if a crack lets water through. Leaks under a bath can damage floors and ceilings.

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

Honest limits

We’d rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so these are the limits:

  • Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
  • A steel bath rusted through
  • Wear across the entire surface, which needs re-enamelling

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before booking.

Materials we work on in Epsom Downs

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

What happens on the day

On the day, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job normally takes two to three hours for most chips. We clean up when we’re done and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
  2. Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
  3. We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to 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.

Before we arrive

  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Advice

Repairs by material

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

Cast iron

Cast iron is heavy and rigid, with a fused enamel surface. Chips can rust if left, but the body of the bath lasts a very long time, so it’s always worth repairing.
