What bath repair costs

Repairs from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:

  • Access to the area
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • How many areas need work
  • How hard the colour is to match

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book, with no extras added later.

Send pictures for a quote

Before you send photos, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Something in shot to show the size

Most clients in Oakleigh Park get their price from photos. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

How we handle bath repair in Oakleigh Park

Most of our bath repairs take a few hours, and the bath is back in use the following day. There’s no need to book a plumber or tiler, because the bath does not move. Typical jobs include rust spots around the plughole and an old repair that has yellowed or come loose, across cast iron enamel, roll-top & freestanding and acrylic.

Every repair is covered by our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Greater London.

Repairing versus replacing in Oakleigh Park

Many people think a damaged bath means a new one. Generally it does not: a repair keeps the bath in service for years, and costs far less than the disruption of a replacement. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Oakleigh Park. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Why book with us

  • Same prices wherever you are
  • Repair technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • Typically one visit, start to finish

Do you need bath repair in Oakleigh Park?

Dropped items cause the majority of chips, and building work is a common culprit. Acrylic baths crack for a different reason: poor support underneath, so the bath flexes when it’s full.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • Scuffs and scratches in the surface
  • Chips along the edge of the bath
  • A chip where the taps sit
  • Rust by the waste and overflow

What your quote should include

  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • Aftercare advice
  • How soon you can use it again
  • What preparation is included

How to compare quotes

Looking after it afterwards

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
  • Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
  • Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
  • Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby

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

Rust spreads under enamel faster than most people expect. Left for months, a small chip can grow into a large rust patch, so early repair keeps the cost down.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

Composite and resin

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

Oakleigh Park: your questions answered

Can you quote from photos?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Of course, and it typically saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you’ll get one combined price.

Is there a guarantee?

Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Do I have to be there?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.

Is repairing better than replacing?

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

What happens next?

You will get a fixed quote back, generally with dates to choose from. There is no obligation to book.

Can you match an avocado or pink bath?

Yes, we match coloured baths too. The colour is tinted by hand on the day.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Honest limits

It helps to know what we cannot do:

  • A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
  • A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
  • Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we can’t get to from below

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.

What we work on

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

How it works

From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes two to three hours for most chips, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. First, we check the damage against your pictures and agree the plan.
  2. Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
  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. Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.

Preparing for the visit

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Getting a price

There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

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 usually cheaper.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, 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 often lifts.
