Common problems we fix in Hounslow

Look out for any of the following:

  • Chips along the edge of the bath
  • Rust spots around the plughole
  • Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
  • Holes from dropped items

How we handle bath repair in Hounslow

Most bath damage, from chips and cracks to rust spots and holes, can be repaired with the bath left exactly where it is. Nothing is unplumbed, the tiles aren’t touched, and the finish is matched to the rest of the bath. Typical jobs include cracks in an acrylic bath and scuffs and scratches in the surface, across roll-top & freestanding, cast iron enamel and acrylic.

Every job is backed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

What happens on the day

Once we’re through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes a morning or an afternoon, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  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. We mix the colour on the day to match your bath’s exact shade.
  4. Finish coats go on, then the repair is polished to blend in.
  5. Once it has cured, normally by the following day, the bath is ready to use.

Honest limits

In fairness, some problems need a different fix:

  • Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
  • Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
  • Cracks in acrylic we cannot reach from underneath

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

What we work on

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

Aftercare tips

Aftercare is simple:

  • Don’t scrub with anything abrasive
  • Don’t leave a fresh chip for long
  • 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. Keep scouring pads and gritty cleaners away from it.

Rust spreads under enamel faster than most people expect. Left for months, a small chip can grow into a large rust patch, so it pays to deal with it early.

Repairing versus replacing in Hounslow

A new bath costs more than the bath itself: removal and disposal, plumbing, a new panel, tiling and decorating. A repair is one job, done in one visit. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Compared with replacing, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Hounslow: your questions answered

Is my repair covered?

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

Will the repair show?

On a glossy bath, you’ll struggle to find it. On worn enamel, it can look shinier than the rest.

Is there any odour?

It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.

Can you price it without visiting?

In nearly every case. If photos do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.

What does bath repair cost?

Prices start from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You will get a fixed figure before booking.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

When can I have a bath again?

Typically the day after. We’ll tell you the exact curing time when we finish.

Does someone need to be in?

We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.

Landlord and trade work in Hounslow

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, pictures and access details and we will arrange it.

What affects the price in Hounslow

Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Hounslow. The price reflects:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • The material
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Doing more than one item at once

A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Quotes from your photos

You can take the pictures on your phone. Ensure they show:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • The material, if you know it
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

To get a price, send a couple of pictures using our quote form or ring us. We’ll say straight away if a repair is the right fix.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

Cast iron

A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that is what we repair.
