How we handle bath repair in Shooter's Hill

Whether your bath is steel, cast iron or acrylic, we can repair it. The method changes with the material: metal baths need any rust dealt with first, and acrylic cracks need support from behind. If you are dealing with impact holes in acrylic and deep scratches in acrylic, we can help.

All our work comes with a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Greater London.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

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 isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

Your questions about bath repair in Shooter's Hill

Is a holed acrylic bath repairable?

Usually. Send us a picture of the hole and one from under the bath if you can.

Will I be able to see the repair?

The goal is a repair that blends in. The rest of the bath’s condition makes a difference.

Will it make a mess?

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

Is a bath repair durable?

It should, as long as the bath is firm and the area was prepared well. It’s covered by our one-year guarantee.

Do the materials smell?

There can be some smell while we work. It clears as the materials cure.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Nearly always. If pictures don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

Why repair rather than replace?

A repair makes sense whenever the damage is localised. It’s a fraction of the cost of a new bath and fitting, it takes one visit, and nothing else in the room changes. Prices start from £95. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before booking, with nothing added on the day.

How the visit works

You don’t need to empty the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and get going once we’ve agreed what we are doing. Most jobs take two to three hours for most chips, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
  2. We clean, key and degrease the damage.
  3. We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
  4. Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
  5. We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the following day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Ask for a price

Related advice

Keeping it looking good

A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:

  • Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
  • Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
  • Don’t scrub with anything abrasive
  • Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale

Give the repair the full curing time we recommend before running a bath. From then on, mild cleaning is all it needs.

If an acrylic bath has a crack, stop showering in it until it’s repaired. Each time it flexes, the crack grows, and it can start to leak underneath.

What affects the price in Shooter's Hill

Repairs from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Shooter's Hill. The price comes down to:

  • The type of damage
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • How many areas need work
  • The material

A repair typically costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Quotes from your pictures

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

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Details of any past repairs
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A photo taken from further back

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.

Honest limits

Some jobs are not right for a repair, including:

  • Metal that has corroded all the way through
  • A whole bath that’s dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
  • Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)

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

Materials we repair

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

Do you need bath repair in Shooter's Hill?

Nearly all the chips we see start with something being dropped: a shampoo bottle, a shower head, a tile or a tool during a refit. On steel and cast iron baths, any chip down to the metal lets water in, and rust follows.

The things clients generally mention when they call are:

  • A failed DIY repair that is discoloured or lifting
  • Chips caused by builders
  • A hole punched through by something heavy
  • Chips under the taps

What to look for in a quote

  • How soon you can use it again
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • Who turns up on the day
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match

Choosing a repair company

Work for landlords and builders

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.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Greater London and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
