About our bath repair in Morden

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’s level with the surrounding surface. Whether it’s a failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting and hairline or through cracks in acrylic, we can help, on roll-top & freestanding, pressed steel enamel and whirlpool & spa baths alike.

Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee.

Work for landlords and builders

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Morden as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it usually costs far less than a refit.

Morden: your questions answered

Will you leave a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.

Will the repair show?

We aim for a repair you cannot easily find. How well it disappears depends on the condition of the rest of the bath.

Can rust on a bath be repaired?

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

What happens if you find more damage?

We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Generally, yes. The old repair comes out first.

Is there a guarantee?

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.

Can you repair a hole in a bath?

Frequently, if there is access underneath. The hole is backed, filled and refinished to match.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

What affects the price in Morden

Repairs from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Morden. The price depends on:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • What the surface is made of
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Send pictures for a quote

Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A wider photo showing the whole bath
  • The material, if you know it
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

To get a price, send two or three pictures using our quote form or call us. We’ll say right away whether it can be repaired.

Should you replace it?

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. Prices start from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

Why Morden customers choose us

  • No need to remove anything
  • Work done at your home or business
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish

Keeping it looking good

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

  • Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
  • Check that an acrylic bath doesn’t move when you stand in it
  • Put a towel in the bath if you are working above it
  • Have new chips seen to early

Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and try not to drop heavy bottles on the repair. Get any new chip seen to quickly, before rust can start.

If an acrylic bath has a crack, stop showering in it until it’s repaired. Every use opens the crack a little more, and water can get through to the floor below.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

How the visit works

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which normally takes two to three hours for most chips. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.

  1. We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
  2. Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
  3. We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
  4. The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
  5. Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.

Preparing for the visit

  • Open a window if you can
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Getting a price

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job without visiting.

Related advice

When to call us in Morden

Dropped items cause the majority of chips, and a lot happen during bathroom refits. Acrylic baths crack for a different reason: the bath is not properly supported, so it flexes under weight.

You may need us if you’ve spotted:

  • An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
  • Holes from dropped items
  • Rust by the waste and overflow
  • Damage beneath the taps

Questions to ask before you book

  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
