What happens on the day

Here’s how a visit usually runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and tidy away. Allow a morning or an afternoon from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. We clean the area and remove any loose enamel or rust.
  2. The chip or crack is filled, then sanded level with the bath.
  3. We tint the finish on the day to suit your bath’s shade of white or colour.
  4. Finish coats go on, then the repair is polished to blend in.
  5. The repair is left to cure, and most baths can be used the next day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

What your bath is made of matters

Pressed steel

Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing a bath rarely stops at the bath: tiles along the rim normally crack when it comes out, the panel may not fit the new one, and the plumbing has to be disconnected and refitted. A repair skips all of it. Our bath repair starts from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Selhurst. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

When to call us in Selhurst

Heavy toiletries are the biggest single cause of chips, with dropped shower heads close behind. Fittings cause damage too: water sits around them, and any chip there soon rusts.

You may need us if you’ve spotted:

  • Cracks in an acrylic bath
  • Chips on the rim or sides
  • A hole punched through by something heavy
  • Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted

Before you book anyone

  • How the room is protected while they work
  • Who will actually do the work

Our hiring checklist

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 doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

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.

When a repair is not the answer

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we cannot get to from below
  • Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
  • A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense

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

Surfaces we repair

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

Aftercare tips

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:

  • A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
  • Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
  • If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
  • Rinse it down after each bath

Keep metal objects like razors and cans off the surface, because they can mark the enamel. And fix dripping taps promptly.

A small chip is a quick job. Left alone, they stain and can rust, so early repair saves time and money.

Your questions about bath repair in Selhurst

Can you redo an old repair?

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

Do you repair coloured baths?

Yes, we match coloured baths too. The colour is tinted by hand on the day.

What about rust by the waste?

Yes, it’s one of the most common repairs we do. We take it back to sound metal, seal it, fill it and match the colour.

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Most of the time. Let us know what was used before.

Will you leave a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

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

Can landlords book you?

Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

What affects the price in Selhurst

Prices start from £95. There’s no area surcharge for Selhurst. The price reflects:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The type of damage
  • The material and finish

Compared with replacing, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Send photos for a quote

Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To make it quick:

  • One picture of the whole bath
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • The material, if you know it

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire bath, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
