Aftercare tips

How the surface is treated afterwards matters:

  • Do not scrub with anything abrasive
  • Make sure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
  • Put a towel in the bath if you are working above it
  • Don’t leave razors or cans standing in the bath

Keep metal objects like razors and cans off the surface, because they can mark the enamel. And fix dripping taps promptly.

If water is getting through a crack, stop using the bath until it’s repaired. Water under the bath can damage the floor and the ceiling below.

About our bath repair in Mayfair

A typical bath repair is a few hours’ work, and the bath is back in use the following day. There is no need to book a plumber or tiler, because the bath doesn’t move. If you are dealing with chips caused by builders and a chip where the taps sit, we can normally put it right.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee.

How the visit works

On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll get on with it. The job generally runs to a few hours, tidy-up included.

  1. Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
  2. We clean, key and degrease the damage.
  3. Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
  4. We match both the colour and the shine.
  5. We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, typically the following day.

Before we arrive

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Let us know about parking or access

When we would advise against a repair

Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, including:

  • Wear across the entire surface, which needs re-enamelling
  • Cracks in acrylic we cannot reach from underneath
  • Leaking fittings, which need a plumber

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

What we work on

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

Should I try a DIY kit first?

For a hairline mark somewhere you will 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.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.

Mayfair questions

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Of course, and it usually saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.

Does someone need to be in?

We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.

Can you repair a hole in a bath?

In most cases. Photos of the hole and the underside help us check.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.

Will there be a smell?

It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.

Can you repair a chip on a coloured bath?

Yes, coloured baths are no problem. The colour is tinted by hand on the day.

Is a bath repair durable?

Done properly, a repair lasts for years, and it’s guaranteed for a year. Gentle cleaning helps.

What your bath is made of matters

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.

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are thick and very strong, with a fused enamel surface. Chips can rust if left, but the bath itself lasts for generations, so it’s always worth repairing.

Signs you need bath repair in Mayfair

Glass and heavy bottles cause more chips than anything else, with dropped shower heads close behind. Taps and wastes cause problems too: water sits around them, and any chip there soon rusts.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

  • Chips caused by builders
  • Chips on the rim or sides
  • Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
  • A chip where the taps sit

Before you book anyone

  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • How your room will be protected
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • What prep work is covered

Choosing a repair company

Landlords, agents and businesses in Mayfair

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

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we’ll handle the rest.

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing a fitted bath usually means a plumber, lifting out the old bath, making good the tiles and panel and disposing of the old one. Repairing it fixes just the damaged area in a single visit. Our bath repair starts from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.
