Common questions in Merton Abbey
Will it make a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
Can pets and children be at home?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.
Do you charge for travel?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.
How long before I can use the bath?
Most baths can be used the next day. We’ll tell you the exact curing time when we finish.
What happens after I send pictures?
We look at the photos and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.
Is there any odour?
It depends on the job, but often a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help.
Can you quote from pictures?
In nearly every case. If photos don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.
What does bath repair cost?
Repairs from £95. Every job gets a fixed price from your pictures. Send a close-up and a picture of the entire item with your SW19 postcode.
Common problems we fix in Merton Abbey
Glass and heavy bottles cause more chips than anything else, with dropped shower heads close behind. Fittings cause damage too: water sits around them, and any chip there soon rusts.
Common reasons people in Merton Abbey contact us include:
- Rusty patches near the plughole
- Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
- A failed DIY repair that is discoloured or lifting
- Holes from dropped items
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- How to look after the finish
- What protection goes down before work starts
- What preparation is included
What your bath is made of matters
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, which makes it well worth repairing.
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.
What affects the price in Merton Abbey
Prices start from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Merton Abbey. The price comes down to:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Whether we combine several jobs
Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
Send photos for a quote
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:
- Something in shot to show the size
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- The material, if you know it
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
For a price in Merton Abbey, pictures are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

Repair or replace in Merton Abbey?
Swapping a damaged bath for a new one normally involves a plumber, removing the old bath, making good the tiles and panel and disposing of the old one. A repair deals only with the damage in a single visit. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

- Dust sheets down, tidy finish
- Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
- Fixed prices from your pictures
- Work done at your home or business

Looking after it afterwards
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Have new chips seen to early
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
- Do not leave razors or cans standing in the bath
- Put a towel in the bath if you are working above it
For the first few days, keep heavy bottles off the repaired spot. After that, clean it as you would the rest of the bath without abrasive products.
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.
The process
When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take a few hours, depending on the damage. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.
- We protect the bath and the floor around it.
- We clean, key and degrease the damage.
- We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
- We match both the colour and the shine.
- We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the next day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know about parking or access
- Ensure the area is dry
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
Ask for a price
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.
