Bath repair for Kingswood homes

When we’d advise against a repair

Not everything can be repaired, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:

  • A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
  • Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
  • Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath

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

What we work on

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

Bath repair at your home in Kingswood

Whether your bath is steel, cast iron or acrylic, we can repair it. The method changes with the material: metal baths need any rust dealt with first, and acrylic cracks need support from behind. Common call-outs are for deep scratches in acrylic and a chip where the taps sit, on roll-top & freestanding, cast iron enamel and acrylic.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re not left on your own once we have gone.

Before and after: a chipped, rust-stained bath around the plughole

Should you replace it?

If the rest of the bath is in good condition, a repair is almost always the better choice. It’s quicker, cheaper and far less disruptive, and you keep the bath you chose. If the entire surface is worn, re-enamelling may make more sense, and we will tell you. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Why us?

  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year

What we do, step by step

There is not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we will take it from there. The job generally runs to two to three hours for most chips, tidy-up included.

  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, normally by the day after, the bath is ready to use.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Questions from Kingswood

When can I have a bath again?

Typically the following day. We will tell you the exact curing time when we finish.

How soon can you come?

Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.

What do you need from me?

Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.

Is there a call-out fee?

No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Can you fix rust around the plughole?

Yes, it’s one of the most common repairs we do. We take it back to sound metal, seal it, fill it and match the colour.

Can landlords book you?

We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

Which areas do you work in?

The entire UK, including all of Surrey. Send your postcode with your pictures and we will confirm dates.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Pressed steel

Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.

Composite and resin

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

How we price bath repair

Repairs from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:

  • The type of damage
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • How much damage there is

Compared with replacing, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

How to get a fixed quote

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Details of any past repairs

You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

How to look after the repair

How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Do not scrub with anything abrasive
  • Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
  • Have new chips seen to early
  • Make sure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot

For the first few days, keep heavy bottles off the repaired spot. After that, normal gentle cleaning is fine without abrasive products.

A small chip is a quick job. Left alone, they stain and can rust, so it’s worth getting them done early.
