Bath repair near Osidge

What we cannot put right

We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:

  • Wear across the whole surface, which needs re-enamelling
  • 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 will say what we think.

Surfaces we repair

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

Bath repair in Osidge, done in place

We repair just the damaged spot and colour-match it to the bath, which costs far less than replacing a fitted bath and the tiles around it. Most baths can be used again the following day. If you’re dealing with deep scratches in acrylic and an old repair that has yellowed or come loose, we can typically put it right.

A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

What we’re called out for in Osidge

Heavy toiletries are the biggest single cause of chips. Taps and wastes cause problems too: water sits around them, and any chip there soon rusts.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

  • Scuffs and scratches in the surface
  • Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
  • A kit repair that didn’t last
  • Chips along the edge of the bath

10 questions to ask before booking

Repair or replace: which is better?

If the rest of the bath is in good condition, a repair is almost always the better choice. It costs less, takes less time and causes far less upheaval, and you keep the bath you chose. Where the entire surface is tired, we may suggest re-enamelling instead. Prices start from £95. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking, with no extras added later.

Why Osidge clients choose us

  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • No extra charge for your area
  • Everything repaired in place

Take a look at our prices page and bath cost comparison.

What bath repair costs

Prices start from £95. There’s no area surcharge for Osidge. What changes the price is:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • The material

Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

Quotes from your photos

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • The material, if you know it
  • Details of any past repairs
  • A wider photo showing the whole bath

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 will reply with a fixed price. There’s no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.

DIY kit or professional repair?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

How the visit works

We agree an arrival time beforehand. Once we’re there, the work takes a few hours in most cases. We leave the room clean and you will know when it can be used.

  1. We clean the area and remove any loose enamel or rust.
  2. Next we fill the damage and sand it smooth and level.
  3. We tint the finish on the day to suit your bath’s shade of white or colour.
  4. Finish coats go on, then the repair is polished to blend in.
  5. The repair is left to cure, and most baths can be used the day after.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Make sure the area is dry

Advice

For landlords and businesses

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Greater London and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Acrylic

An acrylic bath is a moulded sheet strengthened from below. There’s no rust, but cracks, holes and scratches happen, and cracks need support from behind to stay fixed.

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that’s the part we put right.
