Bath repair in Kingsland

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed price from pictures. These are the things that affect it:

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

A repair generally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.

Send photos for a quote

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

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole bath, add your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

Bath repair at your home in Kingsland

Most of our bath repairs take a few hours, and you can usually bathe again the day after. You will not need a plumber or tiler, because the bath doesn’t move. Whether it’s a kit repair that didn’t last and rusty patches near the plughole, we can normally put it right.

Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

How to look after the repair

So the finish stays in good condition:

  • Rinse it down after each bath
  • Don’t leave a fresh chip for long
  • Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
  • Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby

In the first few days, avoid putting weight or bottles on the repair. After that, clean it as you would the rest of the bath without abrasive products.

Small chips are quick to repair. Left alone, they stain and can rust, so it’s worth getting them done early.

How the visit works

Here’s how a visit generally runs: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and tidy away. Plan for a few hours. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and how to look after it.

  1. We start by cleaning the damage and taking out loose enamel and rust.
  2. Next we fill the damage and sand it smooth and level.
  3. The colour is mixed on the spot to match your bath.
  4. Finish coats go on, then the repair is polished to blend in.
  5. Once it has cured, typically by the day after, the bath is ready to use.

How to prepare

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Related advice

Signs you need bath repair in Kingsland

Dropped items cause the majority of chips, and building work is a common culprit. Acrylic baths crack for a different reason: the bath is not properly supported, so it flexes under weight.

Most people get in touch when they notice one of these:

  • Holes from dropped items
  • Rust by the waste and overflow
  • Chips caused by builders
  • Cracks in an acrylic bath

When we’d advise against a repair

We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair won’t do:

  • Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we cannot get to from below
  • A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
  • A steel bath rusted through

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

What your bath is made of matters

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’s what we repair.

Composite and resin

Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour-matched, just like other baths.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we’ll handle the rest.
