Bath repair in North Cheam without replacing anything

Most bath damage, from chips and cracks to rust spots and holes, can be repaired with the bath left exactly where it is. Nothing is unplumbed, the tiles aren’t touched, and the finish is matched to the rest of the bath. We are often asked to fix rust spots around the plughole and a kit repair that didn’t last, across whirlpool & spa baths, roll-top & freestanding and acrylic.

Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

Work for landlords and builders

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in North Cheam use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Greater London and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

What bath repair costs

Repairs from £95. We price every job individually. What matters most is:

  • How much damage there is
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • The type of damage
  • How easy the damage is to reach

Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for North Cheam. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Send pictures for a quote

Two or three clear pictures are generally enough. Try to include:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Any details about the material
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • A wider photo showing the whole bath

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole bath, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

How to look after the repair

Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:

  • Put a towel in the bath if you’re working above it
  • Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
  • If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
  • Have new chips seen to early

Keep metal objects like razors and cans off the surface, because they can mark the enamel. And fix dripping taps promptly.

Don’t leave a chip on a steel or cast iron bath. Water gets to the metal and rust starts, and a rust spot is a bigger repair than a clean chip.

How it works

You do not need to empty the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and start once you’re happy with the plan. Most jobs take a few hours, depending on the damage, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.

  1. We start by cleaning the damage and taking out loose enamel and rust.
  2. Next we fill the damage and sand it smooth and level.
  3. We mix the colour on the day to match your bath’s exact shade.
  4. We build up the finish and polish it into the surrounding enamel.
  5. The repair is left to cure, and most baths can be used the day after.

How to prepare

  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Honest limits

Not everything can be repaired, and we would rather say so up front. We can’t fix:

  • A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
  • A steel bath rusted through
  • A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before booking.

What we work on

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

When to call us in North Cheam

A bath gets knocked about more than you’d think: everyday items get dropped into it all the time, and taps and wastes are tightened against the surface. Sooner or later, most baths pick up a chip.

These are the problems we’re asked about most:

  • A chip where the taps sit
  • Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
  • A hole punched through by something heavy
  • A kit repair that didn’t last

Before booking anyone

  • How changes to the job are handled
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • How long it needs to cure
  • How to care for the finish

Our hiring checklist

DIY repairs versus a professional job

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is normally 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.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Pressed steel

Steel baths are lighter than cast iron, but have a similar enamel surface. Chips rust quickly on steel, especially around the waste, so early repairs matter.

Cast iron

Cast iron is heavy and rigid, with a fused enamel surface. Chips can rust if left, but the bath itself lasts for generations, so it’s always worth repairing.

Common questions in North Cheam

How long does the repair take to cure?

Usually within a day, depending on the repair.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Of course, and it usually saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. The rest of the house is unaffected.

How soon can you come?

That depends on our diary for your area. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Most of the time. Let us know what was used before and we’ll plan for it.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.

What areas do you cover?

The entire UK, including all of Greater London. Just include your postcode and we’ll confirm dates.
