About our bath repair in Northwood Green

Most of our bath repairs take a few hours, and you can typically bathe again the next day. You will not need a plumber or tiler, because nothing is disconnected. If you are dealing with a failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting and scuffs and scratches in the surface, we can typically put it right, on cast iron enamel, acrylic and roll-top & freestanding alike.

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

Landlords, agents and businesses in Northwood Green

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit.

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

How the visit works

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which usually takes a few hours, depending on the damage. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.

  1. We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
  2. Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
  3. The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of 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.

How to prepare

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Advice

Common questions in Northwood Green

Can you repair several things at once?

Of course, and it normally saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and you will get one combined price.

Are there extra charges for Northwood Green?

We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed quote includes everything.

How quickly can you book me in?

We will give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.

What information do you need?

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

Does someone need to be in?

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

Can you repair a chip on a coloured bath?

Yes, coloured baths are no problem. The colour is tinted by hand on the day.

Can you repair a hole in a bath?

Generally, yes, if we can reach behind it. We back the hole, fill it and refinish the surface.

Is a cracked acrylic bath repairable?

Often, yes, if we can reach the underside to reinforce it. Take off the bath panel and check, or send us a photo.

Looking after it afterwards

A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:

  • Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
  • Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
  • Give the bath a quick rinse after use
  • Cover the bath during DIY or decorating

Keep metal objects like razors and cans off the surface, as they can leave rust marks. And fix dripping taps promptly.

A chip on a metal bath shouldn’t be left. Water gets to the metal and rust starts, and a rust spot is a bigger repair than a clean chip.

Common problems we fix in Northwood Green

The usual cause is something heavy dropped into the bath, and building work is a common culprit. Cracks in acrylic have a different cause: poor support underneath, so the bath flexes when it’s full.

Send us a photo if you notice any of these:

  • Chips under the taps
  • Scuffs and scratches in the surface
  • An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
  • Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted

What to look for in a quote

  • How long it needs to cure
  • Whether the price covers travel
  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
  • What protection goes down before work starts

10 questions to ask before you book

What your bath is made of matters

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

Pressed steel

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

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

What affects the price in Northwood Green

Prices start from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Northwood Green. The price comes down to:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • How many areas need work

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking, with no extras added later.

Quotes from your pictures

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:

  • A photo taken from further back
  • Any details about the material
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

To get a price, send a couple of photos using our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
