How we handle bath repair in New Malden

Whatever the damage, the aim is the same: a repair that is 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. If you’re dealing with chips caused by builders and damage beneath the taps, we can help, whatever the material.

London bathrooms are often small, tiled tight around the bath and up a flight or two of stairs. Replacing the bath disturbs all of that, whereas bath repair is done with the bath where it is.

You are covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before booking.

How the visit works

Visits start with a quick look at the job together. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and the work begins. It normally takes a few hours, depending on the damage. In New Malden, the main thing to plan is parking and access: tell us which floor the bath is on, whether there is a lift, and where we can park, and we will bring everything to the room.

  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. We match both the colour and the shine.
  5. We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, generally the day after.

Before we arrive

  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

How to get a price

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. Quotes cost nothing and you are under no obligation.

How to look after the repair

Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:

  • If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
  • Have new chips seen to early
  • Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
  • Store metal items away from the bath

Use gentle, non-abrasive cleaners and try not to drop heavy bottles on the repair. Get any new chip seen to quickly, before rust sets in.

Rust under enamel spreads surprisingly quickly. Left for months, a small chip can grow into a large rust patch, so early repair keeps the cost down.

Bath repair around New Malden

As a London address, New Malden can be tricky for parking: tell us about permits, visitor bays or off-street space when you book. If you let a flat or house near New Malden station (in New Malden itself), we repair baths between tenancies so it’s ready to let again quickly.

New Malden is about 3 miles south-west of Wimbledon, in Greater London. We work in every kind of home, old or new, large or small, as well as offices, shops and holiday lets. New Malden is one of 764 places in Greater London we cover. Our jobs stretch from New Malden to London (about 10 miles away).

Jobs in KT3, KT1 and SW20 work the same way as everywhere else we cover.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

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.

Composite and resin

Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour matched, just like other baths.

Landlords, agents and businesses in New Malden

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

What bath repair costs

Repairs from £95. You’ll know the full cost before you book. We look at:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The material
  • Unusual colours or finishes

Compared with replacing, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

How to get a fixed price

When you take your pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • The material, if you know it
  • One picture of the whole bath
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Natural light rather than flash

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole bath, we can price the job.

Can I fix it myself?

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

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

Why repair rather than replace?

When the bath is otherwise sound, repairing beats replacing. It’s quicker, cheaper and far less disruptive, and the bathroom stays as it is. Where the whole surface is tired, we may suggest re-enamelling instead. For a flat in New Malden, replacement can also disturb neighbours below and need the building manager’s say-so. Repairing is much less disruptive.

Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.

  • Fixed prices from your pictures

What we’re called out for in New Malden

Nearly all the chips we see start with something being dropped: bottles, shower heads, tiles and tools. On steel and cast iron baths, a chip that reaches the metal lets water in, and rust follows.

If you can see any of these, send us a photo:

  • Rusty patches near the plughole
  • A chipped rim or side
  • Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
  • Scuffs and scratches in the surface

If you live in one of the older homes near a church such as New Malden Baptist Church, an original cast iron or steel bath is worth keeping, and bath repair gives it years more use.
