Bath repair in Rowley Green

What bath repair costs

Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:

  • How many areas need work
  • The type of damage
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Doing more than one item at once

Compared with replacing, repairing typically costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

How to get a fixed quote

Two or three clear photos are usually enough. Try to include:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • One picture of the entire bath
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

Send us pictures of the damage and one of the whole item, with your EN5 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

What your bath is made of matters

Cast iron

Cast iron is heavy and rigid, finished with fired enamel. A chip down to the iron can rust, but the bath itself lasts for generations, which makes it well worth repairing.

Pressed steel

Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.

For landlords and businesses

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

Questions from Rowley Green

Do I need to be at home?

We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.

How long does the repair take to cure?

Normally the day after. We confirm the time before we leave.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before.

Do you cover the entire of Greater London?

We cover the entire UK, including Rowley Green and the rest of Greater London. Just include your postcode and we’ll offer you dates.

Can a cracked acrylic bath be fixed?

In most cases. The back of the crack is strengthened before the front is filled and refinished, so access behind the panel is important.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

Can you quote from photos?

Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.

Is a repair better than a new one?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

What a repair cannot fix

We would rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:

  • Metal that has corroded all the way through
  • Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
  • A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.

Materials we work on in Rowley Green

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

What we’re called out for in Rowley Green

Glass and heavy bottles cause more chips than anything else. Fittings cause damage too: water collects there, so chips nearby rust quickly.

Customers generally contact us about:

  • Chips caused by builders
  • A kit repair that didn’t last
  • Rust by the waste and overflow
  • A chipped rim or side

Questions to ask before you book

  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
  • Whether the price covers travel
  • Aftercare advice

Choosing a repair company

DIY kit or professional repair?

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 normally cheaper.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

How the visit works

Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so there are no surprises. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. It normally takes a morning or an afternoon, and we’ll tell you if anything changes.

  1. First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
  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. We build up the finish and polish it into the surrounding enamel.
  5. Once it has cured, normally by the day after, the bath is ready to use.

How to prepare

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

Ask for a price

Getting a price is easy: 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 quote. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.

Advice

How to care for the repair

How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
  • Check that an acrylic bath doesn’t move when you stand in it
  • Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
  • A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early

In the first few days, avoid putting weight or bottles on the repair. After that, clean it as you would the rest of the bath without abrasive products.

Tape over a fresh chip or crack until it’s repaired, so water cannot get in. Remove it before the repair.
