Bath repair at your home in Hurlingham

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 damage done while the bathroom was being fitted and chips under the taps, on pressed steel enamel, roll-top & freestanding and whirlpool & spa baths.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are covered after the visit.

What your bath is made of matters

Pressed steel

Steel baths are lighter than cast iron, but have a similar enamel surface. Chips rust quickly on steel, particularly by the plughole, so early repairs matter.

Acrylic

An acrylic bath is a moulded sheet strengthened from below. There’s no rust, but cracks, holes and scratches happen, and a crack only stays repaired if it’s supported underneath.

Prices and what affects them

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

  • The colour and finish to match
  • The type of damage
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Hurlingham. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

How to get a fixed price

Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Try to send:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • The material, if you know it
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Where you are, by postcode

Most customers in Hurlingham get their price from photos. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Should you replace it?

Replacing a bath rarely stops at the bath: tiles along the rim generally crack when it comes out, the panel may not fit the new one, and a plumber has to disconnect and reconnect everything. A repair skips all of it. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

What you get with us

  • Same prices wherever you are
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing

See our prices page or guide to resurfacing and replacement costs.

Keeping it looking good

It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:

  • Put a towel in the bath if you’re working above it
  • Don’t scrub with anything abrasive
  • Rinse it down after each bath
  • Do not leave a fresh chip for long

Give the repair the full curing time we recommend before running a bath. From then on, mild cleaning is all it needs.

Until we visit, a strip of waterproof tape over the damage helps, so water can’t get in. Take it off before we arrive.

DIY kit or professional repair?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

How it works

On the day, we arrive at the time we have 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 are done and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
  2. We clean, key and degrease the damage.
  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 next day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

For landlords and businesses

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

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.

Your questions about bath repair in Hurlingham

Can you repair a hole in a bath?

Usually, yes, if we can reach behind it. We back the hole, fill it and refinish the surface.

How quickly can you book me in?

Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.

What about rust by the waste?

Yes. We remove the rust and loose enamel, fill the area, then colour-match the finish.

Can pets and children be at home?

Just keep them out of the work area. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.

Do the materials smell?

A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help.

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners across Greater London.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Usually, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
