Bath repair in Kilburn

Repairs by material

Composite and resin

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

Acrylic

Acrylic baths are moulded sheet reinforced underneath. There’s no rust, but cracks, holes and scratches happen, and a crack only stays repaired if it’s supported underneath.

How we handle bath repair in Kilburn

Whatever has happened to the bath, we aim for the same result: a repair that is smooth, sound and hard to spot. Proper preparation, careful filling and shaping, then colour and gloss matching so it’s level with the surrounding surface. Typical jobs include rusty patches near the plughole and scuffs and scratches in the surface, on roll-top & freestanding, acrylic and cast iron enamel.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard.

Common questions in Kilburn

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just make sure the landlord agrees.

Can you repair a failed DIY repair?

Yes, we do this frequently. We strip it out, deal with any rust and repair it again.

Is there a call-out fee?

There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.

Are you accredited?

We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

Can landlords book you?

Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.

Can pets and children be at home?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

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

What happens on the day

There’s not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we will get on with it. Most visits take a few hours.

  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. The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
  5. Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.

Before we arrive

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated

What we are called out for in Kilburn

Many chips happen while the bathroom is being fitted. Tradespeople drop tools and tiles into the bath, frequently before anyone notices. We repair snagging damage like this regularly.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
  • A chip where the taps sit
  • Cracks in an acrylic bath
  • Rust by the waste and overflow

Questions to ask before booking

  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • How long it needs to cure
  • Whether the price covers travel
  • What happens if they find more damage

Our hiring checklist

Looking after it afterwards

To keep it looking its best for years:

  • Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
  • Don’t scrub with anything abrasive
  • Do not leave razors or cans standing in the bath
  • Don’t leave a fresh chip for long

Care for the repair the same way as the bath: a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs. Avoid scourers and gritty cream cleaners.

Do not leave a chip on a steel or cast iron bath. Water gets to the metal and rust starts, turning a quick repair into a bigger one.

Landlord and trade work in Kilburn

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we will arrange it.

Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Repairing versus replacing in Kilburn

A new bath costs more than the bath itself: taking out the old one, plumbing, tiling, a panel and redecorating. With a repair, it’s one visit and one price. Prices start from £95. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Why us?

  • Fixed prices from your pictures
  • Everything repaired in place
  • Colour-matched on site
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish

What bath repair costs

Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:

  • The material and finish
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Unusual colours or finishes

Set against the cost of replacement, repairing generally costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Getting a price from photos

You can take the photos on your phone, there is no need for anything special. Make sure they show:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • One picture of the whole bath

For a price in Kilburn, photos are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

When we would advise against a repair

Some jobs are not right for a repair, for example:

  • Metal that has corroded all the way through
  • Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we can’t get to from below
  • A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.
