Bath repair in Ruislip Gardens without replacing anything

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 next day. Typical jobs include a cracked acrylic bath and a kit repair that didn’t last, across pressed steel enamel, cast iron enamel and acrylic.

We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Can I fix it myself?

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

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Ruislip Gardens

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

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

Repairing versus replacing in Ruislip Gardens

Cast iron baths especially are worth keeping: getting one out, particularly from an upstairs bathroom, is a big job, and replacing like for like isn’t cheap. A repair keeps it in place. Our bath repair starts from £95. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before you book, with nothing added on the day.

Common problems we fix in Ruislip Gardens

Glass and heavy bottles cause more chips than anything else. Fittings cause damage too: water sits around them, and any chip there soon rusts.

Clients generally contact us about:

  • Holes from dropped items
  • Rusty patches near the plughole
  • A failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting
  • Chips along the edge of the bath

Our hiring checklist

How to look after the repair

So the finish stays in good condition for years:

  • Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
  • Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
  • Do not scrub with anything abrasive
  • Ensure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot

Use gentle, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy items on the repaired area. Get any new chip seen to quickly, before rust can start.

Stop using the bath if a crack lets water through until it’s repaired. Water under the bath can damage the floor and the ceiling below.

How the visit works

There’s not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we will take it from there. Most visits take a few hours, depending on the damage.

  1. First, we check the damage against your pictures and agree the plan.
  2. Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
  3. The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
  4. We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
  5. The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.

Before we arrive

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Make sure the area is dry

Ruislip Gardens questions

What information do you need?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.

Can landlords book you?

We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Can you repair a hole in a bath?

Normally, yes, if we can reach behind it. The hole is backed, filled and refinished to match.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

The price is fixed for what the pictures show. If there is more, we will tell you before starting.

Is there a guarantee?

Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

How long does the repair take to cure?

Normally by the following day, though it depends on what we’ve done.

Will it make a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.

Can rust on a bath be repaired?

Yes, very frequently. The rust is cut back to clean metal and sealed before we fill and finish it.

Repairs by material

Pressed steel

Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

How we price bath repair

Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Ruislip Gardens. The price reflects:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The material and finish

Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Ruislip Gardens. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Getting a price from pictures

You can take the photos on your phone, there is no need for anything special. Make sure they show:

  • A picture taken from further back
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • The material, if you know it

We price from pictures so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.
