How we handle bath repair in Little Acton

Most bath damage, from chips and cracks to rust spots and holes, is repaired in place. Nothing is unplumbed, the tiles aren’t touched, and the repaired area is colour matched so it blends in. We regularly repair pressed steel enamel, roll-top & freestanding and whirlpool & spa baths, and common reasons people contact us are a chip where the taps sit and holes from dropped items.

All our work is covered by a one-year guarantee.

Repairs by material

Cast iron

Cast iron is heavy and rigid, finished with fired enamel. A chip down to the iron can rust, but the body of the bath lasts a very long time, so it’s always worth repairing.

Composite and resin

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

What we do, step by step

You do not need to empty the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we have agreed what we are doing. It usually takes a few hours, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. First, we check the damage against your pictures and agree the plan.
  2. Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
  3. The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of 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

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

Questions from Little Acton

Can I add another job to the visit?

Of course, and it typically saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.

Are you a vetted contractor?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

Which areas do you work in?

We work UK-wide. Our prices are the same everywhere.

How quickly can you book me in?

That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.

Can you quote from photos?

Usually, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

You will get a fixed quote back, plus dates. You are under no obligation.

Is there a call-out fee?

No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Is it messy?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.

Should you replace it?

Cast iron baths in particular are worth repairing: they’re very heavy to remove, especially upstairs, and a like-for-like replacement can be expensive. A repair keeps it in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Compared with replacing, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

How to look after the repair

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Give the bath a quick rinse after use
  • Don’t scrub with anything abrasive
  • Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
  • If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted

There is nothing special to do after a repair, beyond gentle cleaning. Avoid bleach-based and gritty cleaners.

Stop using the bath if a crack lets water through until it’s repaired. Leaks under a bath can damage floors and ceilings.

Do you need bath repair in Little Acton?

The usual cause is something heavy dropped into the bath, and building work is a common culprit. Cracks in acrylic have a different cause: the bath isn’t properly supported, so it flexes under weight.

The most common problems we’re called about are:

  • Impact holes in acrylic
  • Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
  • Chips caused by builders
  • A kit repair that didn’t last

What to look for in a quote

  • If travel is included in the price
  • What protection goes down before work starts

Our hiring checklist

When a repair is not the answer

Not everything can be repaired, and we would rather say so up front. We can’t fix:

  • Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we can’t get to from below
  • Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
  • A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Surfaces we repair

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

What bath repair costs

Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:

  • The type of damage
  • How many areas need work
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How many items we do on one visit

Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Send photos for a quote

Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Try to send:

  • A wider photo showing the entire bath
  • The material, if you know it
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Natural light rather than flash

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

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 normally cheaper.
