Bath repair in Lord's Wood

For landlords and businesses

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Lord's Wood as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Bath repair at your home in Lord's Wood

Small damage on a bath is worth repairing early. On steel and cast iron, exposed metal starts to rust, and on acrylic, a crack keeps spreading while the bath flexes. Repairing it stops the damage getting worse. If you’re dealing with a hole punched through by something heavy and a chipped rim or side, we can normally put it right, whatever the material.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months in Lord's Wood and everywhere else. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Different materials, different repairs

Pressed steel

Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.

Acrylic

An acrylic bath is a moulded sheet strengthened from below. They don’t rust, but they can crack, scratch or be holed, and cracks need support from behind to stay fixed.

How the visit works

When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job usually takes a few hours. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
  2. Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
  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. Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.

How to prepare

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated

Aftercare tips

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:

  • Ensure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
  • Put a towel in the bath if you’re working above it
  • Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
  • Have new chips seen to early

Treat the repaired area like the rest of the bath: a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs. Avoid scourers and gritty cream cleaners.

Avoid standing in a cracked acrylic bath until it’s fixed. Each time it flexes, the crack grows, and it can start to leak underneath.

When to call us in Lord's Wood

Acrylic baths that crack nearly always have a support problem. Legs that aren’t adjusted, a missing cradle or a soft floor let the base flex.

If you can see any of these, send us a photo:

  • An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
  • Chips caused by builders
  • A chip where the taps sit
  • Rust spots around the plughole

How we price bath repair

Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We look at:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • The material
  • How many areas need work
  • Access to the area

The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking, with no extras added later.

Quotes from your photos

You can generally get a fixed quote without us visiting. To make it quick:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

Email us photos of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you are in Lord's Wood, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.

Common questions in Lord's Wood
