Trusted bath repair in Great Bookham

For landlords and businesses

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.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Great Bookham as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

About our bath repair in Great Bookham

Whatever the damage, the aim is the same: a smooth, solid repair that blends in. We prepare the area properly, fill and shape it, then match the colour and gloss so it’s level with the surrounding surface. Typical jobs include a failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting and rust by the waste and overflow, across pressed steel enamel, roll-top & freestanding and cast iron enamel.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee.

DIY kit or professional repair?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

What bath repair costs

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

  • How many areas need work
  • The material and finish
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A photo taken from further back
  • Something in shot to show the size

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 price.

Great Bookham questions

Will the repair show?

On a bath in good condition, a colour matched repair is very hard to spot. On worn enamel, it can look shinier than the rest.

What do you need from me?

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

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.

Can you repair a hole in a bath?

Frequently, if there’s access underneath. The hole is backed, filled and refinished to match.

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.

Will the price change on the day?

We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

What happens next?

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

Different materials, different repairs

Cast iron

A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that’s the part we put right.

Acrylic

Acrylic baths are moulded sheet reinforced underneath. They don’t rust, but they can crack, scratch or be holed, and cracks need support from behind to stay fixed.

When to call us in Great Bookham

Dropped items cause the majority of chips, and building work is a common culprit. Acrylic baths crack for a different reason: the bath isn’t properly supported, so it flexes under weight.

Keep an eye out for any of the following:

  • Damage beneath the taps
  • Rust spots around the plughole
  • A kit repair that didn’t last
  • Impact holes in acrylic

How to compare quotes

What happens on the day

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and clear up. Plan for a morning or an afternoon. Before we go, we will explain how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. We start by cleaning the damage and taking out loose enamel and rust.
  2. We fill the damage and sand it flush with the surrounding surface.
  3. We tint the finish on the day to suit your bath’s shade of white or colour.
  4. We build up the finish and polish it into the surrounding enamel.
  5. The repair is left to cure, and most baths can be used the following day.

Before we arrive

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

How to get a price

We price from photos so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.

How to care for the repair

Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:

  • Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
  • Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
  • Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
  • Do not scrub with anything abrasive

Use gentle, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy items on the repaired area. Deal with new chips early, before rust sets in.

Avoid standing in a cracked acrylic bath until it’s fixed. Each time it flexes, the crack grows, and it can start to leak underneath.
