About our bath repair in Romford

A damaged bath does not have to mean a new bathroom. Our technicians fill, shape and refinish the damage, with the colour mixed on site. If you are dealing with damage beneath the taps and scuffs and scratches in the surface, we can help, on roll-top & freestanding, acrylic and cast iron enamel alike.

We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Romford: your questions answered

I rent my home. Can I book you?

We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

Are there extra charges for Romford?

Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.

When can you do it?

That depends on our diary for your area. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.

Is there a guarantee?

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Generally, yes. The old repair comes out first.

Can you redo an old repair?

Regularly. We strip it out, deal with any rust and repair it again.

How do I get a price for bath repair in Romford?

Prices start from £95. Every job gets a fixed quote based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your RM1 postcode.

Why repair rather than replace?

A repair makes sense whenever the damage is localised. It costs far less than a new bath plus fitting, it’s done in one visit, and nothing else in the room changes. Prices start from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Why us?

  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • One visit for most repairs
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor

Aftercare tips

So the finish stays in good condition for years:

  • A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
  • Check that an acrylic bath doesn’t move when you stand in it
  • Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
  • Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners

There’s nothing special to do after a repair, just sensible cleaning. Avoid bleach-based and gritty cleaners and rinse after use.

Rust under enamel spreads surprisingly quickly. Left for months, a small chip can grow into a large rust patch, so it pays to deal with it early.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Romford. What changes the price is:

  • The type of damage
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • How much damage there is
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Romford. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Send pictures for a quote

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

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

We price from photos so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.

How the visit works

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a morning or an afternoon. If anything looks different from your pictures, we will talk to you before going ahead.

  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 mix the colour on the day to match your bath’s exact shade.
  4. We build up the finish and polish it into the surrounding enamel.
  5. Once it has cured, typically by the day after, the bath is ready to use.

Preparing for the visit

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Open a window if you can
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Getting a price

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, add your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.

Repairs by material

Acrylic

Acrylic baths are moulded sheet reinforced underneath. There is no rust, but cracks, holes and scratches happen, and cracks need support from behind to stay fixed.

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.
