Bath repair for Molash homes

Bath repair at your home in Molash

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. Whether it’s deep scratches in acrylic and snagging damage from a refit, we can typically put it right, whatever the material.

A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Work for landlords and builders

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 regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Keeping it looking good

How the surface is treated afterwards matters:

  • Rinse it down after each bath
  • Put a towel in the bath if you’re working above it
  • Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
  • Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath

For the first few days, keep heavy bottles off the repaired spot. After that, clean it as you would the rest of the bath, avoiding abrasives.

Do not leave a chip on a steel or cast iron bath. Water gets to the metal and rust starts, and a rust spot is a bigger repair than a clean chip.

Repairs by material

Pressed steel

Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that is what we repair.

Common problems we fix in Molash

Heavy toiletries are the biggest single cause of chips, with dropped shower heads close behind. Taps and wastes cause problems too: water sits around them, and any chip there soon rusts.

These are the problems we’re asked about most:

  • A failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting
  • A chip where the taps sit
  • Scuffs and scratches in the surface
  • Cracks in an acrylic bath

Before you book anyone

  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • Whether the price covers travel
  • What preparation is included
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match

How to compare quotes

How we price bath repair

Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Molash. What changes the price is:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • The material
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Access to the area

Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Send pictures for a quote

The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Details of any past repairs

There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

What we do, step by step

We begin by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and we start. Allow a morning or an afternoon, and we will tell you if anything changes.

  1. First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
  2. We fill the damage and sand it flush with the surrounding surface.
  3. We mix the colour on the day to match your bath’s exact shade.
  4. We build up the finish and polish it into the surrounding enamel.
  5. The repair is left to cure, and most baths can be used the next day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Open a window if you can
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Ask for a price

We price from pictures so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.

Molash: your questions answered

How long before I can use the bath?

Most baths can be used the day after. We confirm the time before we leave.

Is there a guarantee?

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

Will the repair show?

On a bath in good condition, a colour-matched repair is very hard to spot. On older, dull enamel the repair can look glossier than the area around it.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.

What areas do you cover?

All of Kent, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.

Can you repair a hole in a bath?

Frequently, if there is access underneath. We back the hole, fill it and refinish the surface.

Can you fix rust around the plughole?

Yes. We take out the rust and any loose enamel, seal and fill the area, then colour-match the finish.

Do you cover Molash?

Yes. We cover the whole UK and come to Molash and the rest of Kent. Send pictures and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
