Bath repair for Foxhall homes

Bath repair in Foxhall without replacing anything

We see every kind of bath damage: dropped-bottle chips, plughole rust, acrylic cracks and impact holes. Each is repaired in place. If you’re dealing with hairline or through cracks in acrylic and rust spots around the plughole, we can typically put it right, on pressed steel enamel, roll-top & freestanding and cast iron enamel alike.

You are covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Before and after: a damaged acrylic bath corner repaired in place

What your bath is made of matters

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that is what we repair.

Composite and resin

Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour matched, just like other baths.

What a repair cannot fix

To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:

  • Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we cannot get to from below
  • A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
  • Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet

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

What affects the price in Foxhall

Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • The material and finish
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Whether we combine several jobs

The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Quotes from your pictures

Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Please include:

  • A wider photo showing the entire bath
  • Details of any past repairs
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Any details about the material

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole bath, we can give you a fixed price.

How to look after the repair

Nothing complicated is needed:

  • Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
  • Check that an acrylic bath doesn’t move when you stand in it
  • Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
  • Don’t leave a fresh chip for long

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

Do not leave a chip on a steel or cast iron bath. Once water reaches the metal, rust begins, and a rust spot is a bigger repair than a clean chip.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Foxhall

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

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

Repairing versus replacing in Foxhall

A repair makes sense whenever the damage is localised. 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. Our bath repair starts from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing usually costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Why book with us

  • One visit for most repairs
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • Fixed prices from your photos
  • Colour-matched on site

What we do, step by step

Here’s how a visit typically runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, do the job and tidy away. Allow a few hours from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
  2. We clean, key and degrease the damage, and any rust is treated.
  3. We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
  4. We match both the colour and the shine.
  5. We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, generally the following day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Getting a price

There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.
