Bath repair near Larkfield

Looking after it afterwards

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

  • Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
  • Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
  • Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
  • Give the bath a quick rinse after use

Leave the repair to cure for as long as we say before running a bath. After that, gentle cleaning keeps it looking good.

A small chip is a quick job. Leave them and they collect dirt, stain and, on metal baths, rust, so it’s worth getting them done early.

About our bath repair in Larkfield

Whatever has happened to the bath, we aim for the same result: a repair that’s smooth, sound and hard to spot. We prepare the area properly, fill and shape it, then match the colour and gloss so it sits flush with the rest of the bath. We are frequently asked to fix chips along the edge of the bath and scuffs and scratches in the surface, in roll-top & freestanding, whirlpool & spa baths and pressed steel enamel.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there’s a problem and we will sort it.

How the visit works

From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes a few hours, depending on the damage, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
  2. Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
  3. We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
  4. We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
  5. The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.

Before we arrive

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

FAQs for Larkfield

Do you repair coloured baths?

Yes, we match coloured baths too. We tint the finish to your bath on site.

What about rust by the waste?

Yes, very frequently. The rust is cut back to clean metal and sealed before we fill and finish it.

Do I have to be there?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.

Do the materials smell?

Expect a mild smell while we are working.

Can landlords book you?

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

How soon can you come?

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

Can you repair a hole in a bath?

Frequently, if there is access underneath. We back the hole, fill it and refinish the surface.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Acrylic

An acrylic bath is a moulded sheet strengthened from below. There’s no rust, but cracks, holes and scratches happen, and a crack only stays repaired if it’s supported underneath.

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.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Larkfield

For anyone letting property in or around Larkfield, we will quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we’ll price them together.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

What a repair can’t fix

It helps to know what we cannot do:

  • Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
  • Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we can’t get to from below
  • A whole bath that’s dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix

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

Materials we repair

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

Can I fix it myself?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
