How we handle bath repair in Keston

We repair enamelled steel, cast iron and acrylic baths. Each material is repaired a little differently: rust is treated on metal baths, while cracks in acrylic are reinforced from underneath. Our technicians work on acrylic, pressed steel enamel and cast iron enamel, and the jobs we see most are cracks in an acrylic bath and scratches you can feel with a fingernail.

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Greater London.

Repairs by material

Pressed steel

Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.

Composite and resin

Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour matched, in much the same way.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.

Common problems we fix in Keston

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. Sooner or later, most baths pick up a chip.

People typically call us after spotting one of these:

  • A chip where the taps sit
  • Holes from dropped items
  • Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
  • A kit repair that didn’t last

Work for landlords and builders

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Greater London and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

What happens on the day

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we’ve agreed what we are doing. Most jobs take a morning or an afternoon, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. We start by cleaning the damage and taking out loose enamel and rust.
  2. The chip or crack is filled, then sanded level with the bath.
  3. We mix the colour on the day to match your bath’s exact shade.
  4. We build up the finish and polish it into the surrounding enamel.
  5. Once it has cured, generally by the day after, the bath is ready to use.

How to prepare

  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Let us know about parking or access

Advice

Questions from Keston

Can you price it without visiting?

Typically, yes. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.

Will it make a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.

Is my repair covered?

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

What does bath repair cost?

Repairs from £95. Every job gets a fixed quote from your photos. Send a close-up and a photo of the entire item and your postcode.

Can you fix rust around the plughole?

Yes, very often. We take it back to sound metal, seal it, fill it and match the colour.

Do you cover Keston?

Yes, we do. We send a technician to Keston for every job, with no extra charge for travel.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.

Honest limits

Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits:

  • Metal that has corroded all the way through
  • Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
  • Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we can’t get to from below

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.

Materials we work on in Keston

  • Cast iron enamel
  • Acrylic

  • Roll-top & freestanding

How we price bath repair

Repairs from £95. We price every job individually. The main factors are:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • How many areas need work
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Whether we combine several jobs

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Getting a price from photos

Two or three clear pictures are usually enough. Try to include:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • One picture of the whole bath
  • Natural light rather than flash

Upload photos of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you’re in Keston, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
