Trusted bath repair in Northfields

Honest limits

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
  • Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
  • Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

Bath repair in Northfields without replacing anything

A typical bath repair is a few hours’ work, and you can usually bathe again the next day. There’s no need to book a plumber or tiler, because the bath does not move. If you’re dealing with a kit repair that didn’t last and rust by the waste and overflow, we can help, whatever the material.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

What your bath is made of matters

Pressed steel

Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.

Composite and resin

Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid, and often freestanding. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, in much the same way.

Work for landlords and builders

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

If you manage property in Northfields, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send photos for each one and we will come back with a combined price.

Keeping it looking good

Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:

  • Ensure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
  • Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
  • Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
  • Keep metal cans and razors off the surface

Look after the repair the same way as the bath: warm water, washing-up liquid and a soft cloth. Avoid scourers and gritty cream cleaners.

A small chip is a quick job. Leave them and they collect dirt, stain and, on metal baths, rust, so it’s worth getting them done early.

Why repair rather than replace?

Cast iron baths especially are worth keeping: they’re very heavy to remove, especially upstairs, and replacing like for like is not cheap. Repairing it leaves it where it is. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Northfields. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Why book with us

  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • We leave the room as we found it

What bath repair costs

Prices start from £95. We price every job individually, from your photos. The main factors are:

  • Access to the area
  • The colour and finish to match
  • The material
  • Doing more than one item at once

Compared with replacing, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Quotes from your pictures

You can usually get a fixed quote without us visiting. To help us price it:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A wider photo showing the whole bath
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.

What happens on the day

There’s not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll take it from there. The job generally runs to a few hours, depending on the damage, including clearing up.

  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. The colour is mixed on the spot to match your bath.
  4. We build up the finish and polish it into the surrounding enamel.
  5. We leave it to cure; you can generally use the bath the day after.

Preparing for the visit

  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Clear the area around the damage

Ask for a price

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. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.

Advice

Can I fix it myself?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

Northfields questions

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

You get a fixed price and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Typically, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

Can rust on a bath be repaired?

Yes, it’s one of the most common repairs we do. The rust is cut back to clean metal and sealed before we fill and finish it.

What information do you need?

Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we will do the rest.

Can tenants book a repair?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

Do I have to be there?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.

Can pets and children be at home?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.

What areas do you cover?

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