Your questions about bath repair in Norwood New Town

Is a holed acrylic bath repairable?

In most cases. Send us a picture of the hole and one from under the bath if you can.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders in Norwood New Town.

Do I have to be there?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.

Can you redo an old repair?

Yes. We take out the old repair and do it properly. Mention it when you send photos.

What happens if you find more damage?

Your quote covers the damage in the photos. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

Is there a call-out fee?

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. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Do you cover the entire of Greater London?

We work UK-wide, so Norwood New Town is covered. Our prices are the same everywhere.

What happens on the day

Here’s how a visit typically runs: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and clear up. Plan for two to three hours for most chips from start to finish. Before we go, we will explain how long to leave it and how to care for it.

  1. We protect the bath and the floor around it.
  2. We clean, key and degrease the damage, and any rust is treated.
  3. We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
  4. Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
  5. We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, typically the day after.

How to prepare

  • Open a window if you can
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Related advice

Honest limits

To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair will not fix:

  • Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
  • Wear across the entire surface, which needs re-enamelling
  • Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before booking.

Surfaces we repair

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

Landlords, agents and businesses in Norwood New Town

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Greater London and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

Can I fix it myself?

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

Common problems we fix in Norwood New Town

Rust tends to begin where water collects, around the waste, under the taps or in an old chip. Once water reaches the steel or iron, rust spreads under the enamel.

The most common problems we are called about are:

  • Deep scratches in acrylic
  • Damage beneath the taps
  • A failed DIY repair that is discoloured or lifting
  • Cracks in an acrylic bath

Comparing quotes

  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • How soon you can use it again
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • What protection goes down before work starts

Choosing a repair company

Looking after it afterwards

Nothing complicated is needed:

  • Make sure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
  • Store metal items away from the bath
  • Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
  • A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early

Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy items on the repaired area. Get any new chip seen to quickly, before rust can start.

If water is getting through a crack, stop using the bath until it’s repaired. Leaks under a bath can damage floors and ceilings.

What your bath is made of matters

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

Composite and resin

Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, just like other baths.

How we price bath repair

Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • How much damage there is
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Send photos for a quote

Most quotes are done from photos alone. To help us price it:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • One picture of the entire bath
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and no obligation.
