Bath repair in Loftus

Prices and what affects them

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

  • What kind of damage it is
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The material
  • The colour and finish to match

A repair typically costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Getting a price from pictures

Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To help us price it:

  • Any details about the material
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. There’s no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.

How it 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 work takes a few hours, depending on the damage, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. We clean the area and remove any loose enamel or rust.
  2. We fill the damage and sand it flush with the surrounding surface.
  3. We tint the finish on the day to suit your bath’s shade of white or colour.
  4. We apply the finish coats and polish the repair so it blends in.
  5. The repair is left to cure, and most baths can be used the day after.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Advice

Landlords, agents and businesses in Loftus

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we’ll arrange it.

FAQs for Loftus

Can a cracked acrylic bath be fixed?

In most cases. We reinforce the crack from behind, then fill and refinish the front, so we need access under the bath.

What does bath repair cost?

Prices start from £95. We give a fixed quote based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.

Can rust on a bath be repaired?

Yes, it’s one of the most common repairs we do. The rust is cut back to clean metal and sealed before we fill and finish it.

Can you quote from pictures?

In nearly every case. If photos don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

Do you come to Loftus?

Yes, we do. We send a technician to Loftus for every job, with no extra charge for travel.

Do I have to be there?

We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.

What happens next?

We review the photos and send a fixed quote.

How long does the repair take to cure?

Usually within a day, though it depends on what we’ve done.

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing a fitted bath normally involves a plumber, removing the old bath, making good the tiles and panel and getting rid of the old bath. Repairing it deals only with the damage in one visit. Prices start from £95. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Keeping it looking good

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

  • Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
  • A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
  • Rinse it down after each bath
  • Keep metal cans and razors off the surface

For the first few days, keep heavy bottles off the repaired spot. After that, normal gentle cleaning is fine.

Small chips are quick to repair. Leave them and they collect dirt, stain and, on metal baths, rust, so it’s worth getting them done early.

When a repair is not the answer

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair won’t do:

  • A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
  • Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
  • A steel bath rusted through

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

Surfaces we repair

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

Repairs by material

Pressed steel

Steel baths are lighter than cast iron, but have a similar enamel surface. Chips rust quickly on steel, especially around the waste, so repair chips early.

Cast iron

A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that is the part we put right.
