How we handle bath repair in Kingston

You don’t need a new bath because of a chip. We fill the damage, shape it to the curve of the bath and refinish it, mixing the colour on the day. Common call-outs are for chips along the edge of the bath and chips under the taps, across roll-top & freestanding, acrylic and cast iron enamel.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Your questions about bath repair in Kingston

When can you do it?

We will give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Can you repair a crack in an acrylic bath?

Frequently, yes, if we can reach the underside to reinforce it. Take off the bath panel and check, or send us a photo.

What do you need from me?

Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we will do the rest.

Which areas do you work in?

Across the UK. Prices do not change with location.

What does bath repair cost?

Repairs from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You’ll get a fixed figure before you book.

Is a bath repair permanent?

Done properly, a repair lasts for years, and it’s guaranteed for a year. Gentle cleaning helps.

Can you price it without visiting?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Most of the time. Tell us what was done before and we’ll plan for it.

Should you replace it?

A new bath brings a chain of other jobs: tiles along the rim typically crack when it comes out, the panel may not fit the new one, and the plumbing has to be disconnected and refitted. A repair skips all of it. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Why us?

  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • One visit for most repairs
  • No need to remove anything

Read our prices page and resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.

Do you need bath repair in Kingston?

Damage during fitting is very common. Tools, tiles and fittings get dropped into the bath, and the damage isn’t always spotted until later. We repair snagging damage like this regularly.

Common reasons people in Kingston contact us include:

  • A chipped rim or side
  • Impact holes in acrylic
  • Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
  • Rust spots around the plughole

How to compare quotes

DIY kit or professional repair?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

What happens on the day

From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes a few hours, depending on the damage, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
  2. The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased, and any rust is treated.
  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.

How to prepare

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Ask for a price

Upload pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you’re in Kingston, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

Repairs by material

Composite and resin

Composite baths are dense and solid, and frequently freestanding. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, just like other baths.

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

What we cannot put right

We’d rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:

  • Wear across the whole surface, which needs re-enamelling
  • Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
  • Metal that has corroded all the way through

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

Materials we repair

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

What bath repair costs

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

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The colour and finish to match
  • The type of damage
  • The material and finish

Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Quotes from your photos

Two or three clear photos are normally enough. Try to include:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • The material, if you know it

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job.

Keeping it looking good

So the finish stays in good condition:

  • Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
  • Put a towel in the bath if you’re working above it
  • Store metal items away from the bath
  • Clean with warm water and a mild detergent

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.

Until we visit, a strip of waterproof tape over the damage helps, to keep water out. Take it off before we arrive.
