Signs you need bath repair in Hammersmith

Heavy toiletries are the biggest single cause of chips, with dropped shower heads close behind. Taps and wastes cause problems too: water collects there, so chips nearby rust quickly.

You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:

  • A chipped rim or side
  • Deep scratches in acrylic
  • Rusty patches near the plughole
  • Snagging damage from a refit

About our bath repair in Hammersmith

It pays to repair bath damage while it’s small. On steel and cast iron, exposed metal starts to rust, and on acrylic, a crack keeps spreading while the bath flexes. Repairing it stops the damage getting worse. If you are dealing with rust spots around the plughole and a hole punched through by something heavy, we can help, on cast iron enamel, acrylic and whirlpool & spa baths alike.

A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Should you replace it?

Think about the hidden costs of a new bath: taking out the old one, plumbing, tiling, a panel and redecorating. A repair is one job, done in one visit. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Compared with replacing, repairing generally costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited

Landlord and trade work in Hammersmith

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Hammersmith use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it typically costs far less than a refit.

For anyone letting property in or around Hammersmith, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we’ll price them together.

What we do, step by step

When we visit, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take a few hours. We clean up when we’re done and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
  2. Next we fill the damage and sand it smooth and level.
  3. The colour is mixed on the spot to match your bath.
  4. We apply the finish coats and polish the repair so it blends in.
  5. We leave it to cure; you can normally use the bath the day after.

How to prepare

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

Ask for a price

Related advice

When we would advise against a repair

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
  • A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
  • Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we can’t get to from below

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

Surfaces we repair

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

DIY kit or professional repair?

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Looking after it afterwards

Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:

  • Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
  • Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
  • Rinse it down after each bath
  • Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth

Treat the repaired area like the rest of the bath: a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs. Avoid scourers and gritty cream cleaners.

Stop using the bath if a crack lets water through until it’s repaired. Leaks under a bath can damage floors and ceilings.

How we price bath repair

Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your pictures. What matters most is:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • The colour and finish to match
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • How many items we do on one visit

What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.

How to get a fixed quote

We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what we need:

  • Any details about the material
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A wider photo showing the whole bath

You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
