How we handle bath repair in Kingston

Small damage on a bath is worth repairing early. On steel and cast iron, exposed metal starts to rust, and on acrylic, a crack keeps spreading while the bath flexes. Repairing it stops the damage getting worse. If you are dealing with rust by the waste and overflow and a hole punched through by something heavy, we can normally put it right.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are not left on your own once we’ve gone.

What we do, step by step

We agree an arrival time beforehand. On site, it takes a morning or an afternoon for most jobs. We leave the room clean.

  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 tint the finish on the day to suit your bath’s shade of white or colour.
  4. Finish coats go on, then the repair is polished to blend in.
  5. The repair is left to cure, and most baths can be used the following day.

How to prepare

  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

How to get a price

You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

Advice

Should you replace it?

Many people think a damaged bath means a new one. In most cases it does not: a repair keeps the bath in service for years, and costs far less than the disruption of a replacement. Prices start from £95. 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.

Why book with us

  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • A fixed quote before you book

Keeping it looking good

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
  • Have new chips seen to early
  • Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
  • Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners

Do not leave razors, cans or hair grips in the bath, as they can leave rust marks. A dripping tap should be fixed early, too.

Avoid standing in a cracked acrylic bath until it’s fixed. Every use opens the crack a little more, and it can start to leak underneath.

For landlords and businesses

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

Prices and what affects them

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

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • The material and finish

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book.

Send pictures for a quote

You can take the photos on your phone. Just make sure we can see:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • A picture taken from further back

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire bath, include your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

What we’re called out for in Kingston

Dropped items cause the majority of chips, and building work is a common culprit. Cracks in acrylic have a different cause: poor support underneath, so the bath flexes when it’s full.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

  • An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
  • Rust by the waste and overflow
  • Chips on the rim or sides
  • Damage beneath the taps

What to look for in a quote

  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • What aftercare is recommended
  • What prep work is covered

Our hiring checklist

Materials and what they mean for the repair

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 the part we put right.

Acrylic

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