Bath repair near Lower Kingswood

Aftercare tips

Looking after the surface is easy:

  • Rinse it down after each bath
  • Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
  • Check that an acrylic bath doesn’t move when you stand in it
  • Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath

Look after the repair the same way as the bath: warm water, washing-up liquid and a soft cloth. Avoid scourers and gritty cream cleaners.

A chip on a metal bath shouldn’t be left. Water gets to the metal and rust starts, and a rust spot is a bigger repair than a clean chip.

How we handle bath repair in Lower Kingswood

Whatever has happened to the bath, we aim for the same result: a smooth, solid repair that blends in. Proper preparation, careful filling and shaping, then colour and gloss matching so it sits flush with the rest of the bath. We regularly repair pressed steel enamel, acrylic and whirlpool & spa baths, and the jobs we see most are chips caused by builders and chips under the taps.

Every job is backed for twelve months in Lower Kingswood and everywhere else. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Lower Kingswood

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access.

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

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Acrylic

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

Pressed steel

Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.

Honest limits

Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits:

  • Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
  • A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
  • A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense

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

How we price bath repair

Repairs from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Lower Kingswood. The price comes down to:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • The material and finish
  • The type of damage
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.

How to get a fixed quote

Two or three clear photos are typically enough. It helps if you send:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A picture taken from further back
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Where you are, by postcode

We price from photos so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

Lower Kingswood: your questions answered

Will you leave a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.

Does someone need to be in?

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

How much does bath repair cost in Lower Kingswood?

Prices start from £95. Every job gets a fixed price based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your KT20 postcode.

Is there a call-out fee?

We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed quote includes everything.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.

Will the repair show?

On a glossy bath, you’ll struggle to find it. On worn enamel, it can look shinier than the rest.

Something went through my bath. Can it be fixed?

In most cases. Send us a photo of the hole and one from under the bath if you can.

Can you quote from pictures?

Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.

Why repair rather than replace?

A repair makes sense whenever the damage is localised. It’s a fraction of the cost of a new bath and fitting, it takes one visit, and the bathroom stays exactly as it is. Prices start from £95. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

The process

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and clear up. Allow a morning or an afternoon. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and how to care for it.

  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. We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
  4. The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
  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
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
