DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Many people think a damaged bath means a new one. In most cases it does not: a proper repair gives it years more use, and costs far less than the disruption of a replacement. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.

What your bath is made of matters

Composite and resin

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

Pressed steel

Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.

Common problems we fix in Redbridge

Many chips happen while the bathroom is being fitted. Tradespeople drop tools and tiles into the bath, and the damage isn’t always spotted until later. We repair snagging damage like this regularly.

Most people get in touch when they notice something like this:

  • A hole punched through by something heavy
  • Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
  • Cracks in an acrylic bath
  • Chips along the edge of the bath

Choosing a repair company

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed price from photos. These are the things that affect it:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Quotes from your pictures

You can normally get a fixed quote without us visiting. To make it quick:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A wider photo showing the entire bath

For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

The process

We turn up when we said we would and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. Most visits take a few hours, depending on the damage, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  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. We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
  4. The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
  5. Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.

How to prepare

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

Advice

Landlords, agents and businesses in Redbridge

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Redbridge as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it generally costs far less than a refit.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

What a repair cannot fix

A repair isn’t right for every job, for example:

  • Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
  • Metal that has corroded all the way through
  • Acrylic cracks with no access behind them

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before you book.

What we work on

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