Bath repair in Hounslow, done in place

A repair fixes just the damaged area and blends it into the rest of the bath, which is far cheaper than replacing a fitted bath and the tiles around it. Most baths can be used again the next day. Our repair technicians work on whirlpool & spa baths, acrylic and roll-top & freestanding, and the jobs we see most are scratches you can feel with a fingernail and a cracked acrylic bath.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard.

What we cannot put right

In fairness, some problems need a different fix:

  • Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
  • Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
  • Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we cannot get to from below

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

Materials we repair

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

What we do, step by step

When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job usually takes a few hours. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
  2. The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased.
  3. Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
  4. We match both the colour and the shine.
  5. We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the day after.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Looking after it afterwards

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Give the bath a quick rinse after use
  • Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
  • Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
  • Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath

Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy items on the repaired area. Deal with new chips early, before rust can start.

Rust spreads under enamel faster than most people expect. A chip the size of a fingernail can become a much larger patch if it’s left for months, so early repair keeps the cost down.

For landlords and businesses

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

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

Can I fix it myself?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

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.

Different materials, different repairs

Pressed steel

Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.

Composite and resin

Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid, and often freestanding. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, in much the same way.

How we price bath repair

Repairs from £95. There is no area surcharge for Hounslow. What changes the price is:

  • How many areas need work
  • The material and finish
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Access to the area

What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.

Getting a price from photos

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

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

Upload a picture of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Hounslow, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

Do you need bath repair in Hounslow?

Most bath damage comes from something dropped: a shampoo bottle, a shower head, a tile or a tool during a refit. On steel and cast iron baths, a chip that reaches the metal lets water in, and rust follows.

Signs it’s time to call us include:

  • Deep scratches in acrylic
  • Rust spots around the plughole
  • Cracks in an acrylic bath
  • A chipped rim or side

Questions to ask before you book

  • What preparation is included
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • If travel is included in the price
  • How long it needs to cure

The price is fixed for what the photos show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

Is there any odour?

There can be some smell while we work. It fades as everything cures.

Will the repair show?

We aim for a repair you cannot easily find. The rest of the bath’s condition makes a difference.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Typically, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.

Can you repair a hole in a bath?

Usually. Photos of the hole and the underside help us check.

Can you match an avocado or pink bath?
