Common questions in Ladywell

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Yes, almost always. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.

Is a bath repair permanent?

A properly prepared repair should last a long time, and it’s guaranteed for a year. Gentle cleaning helps it last.

Can a cracked acrylic bath be fixed?

Usually, yes, as long as we can get to the back of the crack to support it. Take off the bath panel and check, or send us a photo.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Normally, yes. The old repair comes out first.

When can you do it?

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

Is there any odour?

There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.

Is there a call-out fee?

We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.

Bath repair at your home in Ladywell

A damaged bath doesn’t have to mean a new bathroom. We fill the damage, shape it to the curve of the bath and refinish it, mixing the colour on the day so the repair is hard to spot. Typical jobs include a hole punched through by something heavy and a chip where the taps sit, in whirlpool & spa baths, cast iron enamel and acrylic.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right, ring us and we will come back.

Our hiring checklist

How the visit works

You do not need to empty the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and get going once we have agreed what we’re doing. It typically takes a morning or an afternoon, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.

  1. We protect the bath and the floor around it.
  2. We clean, key and degrease the damage, and any rust is treated.
  3. We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
  4. We match both the colour and the shine.
  5. We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, typically the next day.

How to prepare

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Advice

Repair or replace in Ladywell?

When the bath is otherwise sound, repairing beats replacing. It costs less, takes less time and causes far less upheaval, and the bathroom stays as it is. If the entire surface is worn, re-enamelling may make more sense, and we will tell you. Prices start from £95. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.

Why us?

  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • Same prices wherever you are
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
  • We leave the room as we found it

See our prices page and guide to resurfacing and replacement costs.

How we price bath repair

Prices start from £95. There’s no area surcharge for Ladywell. What changes the price is:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Access to the area
  • The material

Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

How to get a fixed quote

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

  • The material, if you know it
  • Details of any past repairs
  • A wider photo showing the whole bath
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

If you are in Ladywell and want a price, the easiest route is photos: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

Can I fix it myself?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

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.

Different materials, different repairs

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 is what we repair.

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

Landlord and trade work in Ladywell

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Greater London and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

What we cannot put right

Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits too:

  • Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
  • Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
  • A whole bath that is dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before booking.
