DIY kit or professional repair?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

Common problems we fix in Havering's Grove

A bath gets knocked about more than you’d think: everyday items get dropped into it all the time, and taps and wastes are tightened against the surface. Over time, chips and rust spots are almost inevitable.

The things customers usually mention when they call include:

  • Holes from dropped items
  • Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
  • A chipped rim or side
  • Rust spots around the plughole

  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • How to care for the finish

  • How changes to the job are handled

How to compare quotes

The process

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and start once you are happy with the plan. It usually takes a few hours, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  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. The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
  4. We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
  5. The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.

How to prepare

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

Getting a price

Upload pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you’re in Havering's Grove, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

What affects the price in Havering's Grove

Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. This is what makes a difference:

  • What the surface is made of
  • What kind of damage it is
  • How much damage there is
  • Whether we combine several jobs

No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Send pictures for a quote

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.

Landlord and trade work in Havering's Grove

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Havering's Grove as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

How to care for the repair

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Check that an acrylic bath doesn’t move when you stand in it
  • Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
  • Have new chips seen to early
  • Rinse it down after each bath

Give the repair the full curing time we recommend before running a bath. After that, gentle cleaning keeps it looking good.

A chip on a metal bath shouldn’t be left. Water gets to the metal and rust starts, turning a quick repair into a bigger one.
