Bath repair at your home in Molesey

Whatever has happened to the bath, we aim for the same result: a repair that’s smooth, sound and hard to spot. Proper preparation, careful filling and shaping, then colour and gloss matching so it sits flush with the rest of the bath. We regularly repair whirlpool & spa baths, acrylic and roll-top & freestanding, and people most often call us about cracks in an acrylic bath and chips on the rim or sides.

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

When we’d advise against a repair

Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits:

  • Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
  • Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
  • Wear across the entire surface, which needs re-enamelling

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before you book.

Surfaces we repair

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

Questions from Molesey

I tried a repair kit. Can you fix it?

Regularly. The old material comes out, any rust is treated, then we repair it properly.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.

Do you cover the whole of Surrey?

We work UK-wide, so Molesey is covered. Prices do not change with location.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

Something went through my bath. Can it be fixed?

Usually, yes, if we can reach behind it. We back the hole, fill it and refinish the surface.

Will the repair show?

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

How long before I can use the bath?

Typically within a day, though it depends on what we have done.

What we’re called out for in Molesey

Dropped items cause the majority of chips, and a lot happen during bathroom refits. Cracks in acrylic have a different cause: poor support underneath, so the bath flexes when it’s full.

You may need us if you’ve spotted:

  • A hole punched through by something heavy
  • Scuffs and scratches in the surface
  • Chips caused by builders
  • Cracks in an acrylic bath

What your quote should include

  • Who turns up on the day
  • If travel is included in the price
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • How the colour is matched

What affects the price in Molesey

Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed price from photos. These are the things that affect it:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Access to the area
  • The material
  • What kind of damage it is

A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Send photos for a quote

Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Something in shot to show the size

There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

What happens on the day

On the day, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job generally takes two to three hours for most chips. We clean up when we are done and let you know when you can use it again.

  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. Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
  5. We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, typically the next day.

Before we arrive

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Advice

DIY repairs versus a professional job

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

Keeping it looking good

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
  • Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
  • Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
  • Do not leave razors or cans standing in the bath

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.

Rust spreads under enamel faster than most people expect. A chip the size of a fingernail can become a much larger patch if it’s left for months, so it pays to deal with it early.

Repairing versus replacing in Molesey

If the rest of the bath is in good condition, a repair is almost always the better choice. It costs less, takes less time and causes far less upheaval, and you keep the bath you chose. If the entire surface is worn, re-enamelling may make more sense, and we will tell you. Our bath repair starts from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.
