Book bath repair in New Addington

Bath repair in New Addington without replacing anything

A typical bath repair is a few hours’ work, and the bath is back in use the day after. There’s no need to book a plumber or tiler, because nothing is disconnected. We work on roll-top & freestanding, cast iron enamel and acrylic, and the jobs we see most are damage beneath the taps and damage done while the bathroom was being fitted.

You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything is not right, ring us and we will sort it.

When to call us in New Addington

A bath gets knocked about more than you’d think: bottles, shower heads and razors are dropped every day, and fittings press hard against the enamel. Sooner or later, most baths pick up a chip.

Send us a photo if you notice any of these:

  • Cracks in an acrylic bath
  • Deep scratches in acrylic
  • An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
  • Chips along the edge of the bath

Questions to ask before booking

  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • How soon you can use it again

Choosing a repair company

Repairing versus replacing in New Addington

A new bath brings a chain of other jobs: tiles along the rim normally crack when it comes out, the panel may not fit the new one, and a plumber has to disconnect and reconnect everything. Repairing the damage avoids all of that. Prices start from £95. A repair usually costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

How it works

We begin by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we are doing. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and the work begins. Allow a few hours, and we’ll tell you if anything changes.

  1. First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
  2. The chip or crack is filled, then sanded level with the bath.
  3. We tint the finish on the day to suit your bath’s shade of white or colour.
  4. We apply the finish coats and polish the repair so it blends in.
  5. The repair is left to cure, and most baths can be used the day after.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Make sure the area is dry

Common questions in New Addington

What happens after I send pictures?

We look at the photos and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.

How soon can you come?

We will give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Do I have to be there?

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

Do you cover New Addington?

Yes. We work across the UK and travel to New Addington. Send photos and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

How do I get a price for bath repair in New Addington?

Prices start from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You will get a fixed figure before booking.

Will I be able to see the repair?

We aim for a repair you can’t easily find. The rest of the bath’s condition makes a difference, and we’ll tell you what to expect.

How long before I can use the bath?

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

Is there a call-out fee?

Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

What affects the price in New Addington

Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. This is what makes a difference:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • What the surface is made of
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How many items we do on one visit

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book, with nothing added on the day.

Quotes from your pictures

Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Try to send:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Details of any past repairs
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

Aftercare tips

Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:

  • Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
  • Do not leave razors or cans standing in the bath
  • Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
  • Check that an acrylic bath doesn’t move when you stand in it

Give the repair the full curing time we recommend before using the bath. After that, gentle cleaning keeps it looking good.

Tape over a fresh chip or crack until it’s repaired, to keep water out. Take it off before we arrive.

When we would advise against a repair

In fairness, there are a few things a repair will not fix:

  • A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
  • Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
  • Wear across the whole surface, which needs re-enamelling

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

Surfaces we repair

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

Different materials, different repairs

Acrylic

An acrylic bath is a moulded sheet strengthened from below. There’s no rust, but cracks, holes and scratches happen, and a crack only stays repaired if it’s supported underneath.

Pressed steel

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