FAQs for Muswell Hill

What happens if you find more damage?

We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

Can you match an avocado or pink bath?

Yes, we match coloured baths too. The colour is tinted by hand on the day.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.

Something went through my bath. Can it be fixed?

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

Can landlords book you?

Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

How long before I can use the bath?

Generally within a day, depending on the repair.

Will the repair last?

Done properly, a repair lasts for years, and ours come with a one-year guarantee. Gentle cleaning helps it last.

Do I need to be at home?

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

Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

Repair or replace in Muswell Hill?

Cast iron baths especially are worth keeping: they’re very heavy to remove, especially upstairs, and a like-for-like replacement can be expensive. Repairing it leaves it where it is. Our bath repair starts from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

Why Muswell Hill customers choose us

  • Same prices wherever you are
  • Work done at your home or business
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • One visit for most repairs

Keeping it looking good

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:

  • Rinse it down after each bath
  • Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
  • A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
  • Don’t 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. Keep scouring pads and gritty cleaners away from it.

Until we visit, a strip of waterproof tape over the damage helps, so water cannot get in. Remove it before the repair.

How it works

The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can carry on at home. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes two to three hours for most chips. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to look after it.

  1. First, we check the damage against your pictures and agree the plan.
  2. Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
  3. We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
  4. We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
  5. The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated

How to get a price

You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

Advice

What we’re called out for in Muswell Hill

Glass and heavy bottles cause more chips than anything else, with dropped shower heads close behind. Fittings cause damage too: water collects there, so chips nearby rust quickly.

Get in touch if you’ve noticed any of these:

  • Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
  • Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
  • Deep scratches in acrylic
  • Impact holes in acrylic

What your quote should include

  • What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
  • Whether the price covers travel
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • Who turns up on the day

10 questions to ask before booking

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.

What your bath is made of matters

Pressed steel

Steel baths are lighter than cast iron, but have a similar enamel surface. Exposed steel rusts fast, particularly by the plughole, so early repairs matter.

Cast iron

A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that’s what we repair.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:

  • The material
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • How much damage there is

A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Send photos for a quote

Before you send pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • A wider photo showing the entire bath
  • The material, if you know it

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. There is no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.
