Looking after it afterwards
Nothing complicated is needed:
- Don’t scrub with anything abrasive
- Rinse it down after each bath
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
- Do not leave razors or cans standing in the bath
Keep metal objects like razors and cans off the surface, as they can leave rust marks. A dripping tap should be fixed early, too.
Don’t leave a chip on a steel or cast iron bath. Water gets to the metal and rust starts, turning a quick repair into a bigger one.
What we’re called out for in Plashet
Heavy toiletries are the biggest single cause of chips, closely followed by shower heads. Fittings cause damage too: water sits around them, and any chip there soon rusts.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
- A chip where the taps sit
- Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
- Rusty patches near the plughole
Questions to ask before you book
- How to look after the finish
- What happens if they find more damage
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- How the colour is matched
What bath repair costs
Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Plashet. What changes the price is:
- Access to the area
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- What the surface is made of
- Unusual colours or finishes
A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.
Send photos for a quote
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- One picture of the whole bath
- The material, if you know it
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed price.
What your bath is made of matters
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
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that is the part we put right.
For landlords and businesses
We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, pictures and access details and we will arrange it.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
When a repair is not the answer
Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, for example:
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.
What we work on
- Cast iron enamel
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Acrylic
- Pressed steel enamel
The process
You do not need to empty the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and get going once we have agreed what we’re doing. It generally takes a few hours, depending on the damage, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.
- First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
- The chip or crack is filled, then sanded level with the bath.
- We tint the finish on the day to suit your bath’s shade of white or colour.
- Finish coats go on, then the repair is polished to blend in.
- We leave it to cure; you can usually use the bath the day after.
Before we arrive
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
How to get a price
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.
Related advice
Plashet questions
Will you leave a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
Will the repair last?
Done properly, a repair lasts for years, and it’s guaranteed for a year. Gentle cleaning helps.
Can tenants book a repair?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just make sure the landlord agrees.
How soon can you come?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
Is a cracked acrylic bath repairable?
Most of the time. We reinforce the crack from behind, then fill and refinish the front, so access behind the panel is important.
What about rust by the waste?
Yes. We remove the rust and loose enamel, seal and fill the area, then colour-match the finish.
Can you repair a chip on a coloured bath?
Yes. We mix the colour on the day to match, including pastel and older colours.
Do you come to Plashet?
Yes. We work across the UK and come to Plashet and the rest of Greater London. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Repairing versus replacing in Plashet
Swapping a damaged bath for a new one normally involves a plumber, removing the old bath, making good the tiles and panel and getting rid of the old bath. Repairing it deals only with the damage in a single visit. Prices start from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Why book with us
- Fixed prices from your pictures
- Honest advice, even when it means no job
