Trusted bath repair in Single Street

Bath repair in Single Street, done in place

A typical bath repair is a few hours’ work, and you can usually bathe again the following day. You won’t need a plumber or tiler, because the bath doesn’t move. If you are dealing with scratches you can feel with a fingernail and snagging damage from a refit, we can usually put it right.

Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

Can I fix it myself?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

For landlords and businesses

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Single Street: your questions answered

What happens if you find more damage?

Your quote covers the damage in the photos. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you will get one combined price.

Is a bath repair permanent?

Done properly, a repair lasts for years, and ours come with a one-year guarantee. Gentle cleaning helps.

Do the materials smell?

There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Most of the time. Tell us what was done before.

Which areas do you work in?

All of Greater London, and the rest of the UK. There’s no extra charge for travel.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Do you do work for letting agents?

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

Repair or replace: which is better?

Think about the hidden costs of a new bath: removal and disposal, plumbing, a new panel, tiling and decorating. A repair is one job, done in one visit. Our bath repair starts from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Single Street. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

How the visit works

Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. The work itself takes a morning or an afternoon, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  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 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.

Before we arrive

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Let us know about parking or access

Getting a price

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and no obligation.

Advice

How we price bath repair

Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed price from pictures. This is what makes a difference:

  • The material
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • How much damage there is
  • Access to the area

No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

How to get a fixed quote

Before you send photos, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • One picture of the entire bath

For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

What your bath is made of matters

Cast iron

Cast iron is heavy and rigid, finished with fired enamel. Chips can rust if left, but the body of the bath lasts a very long time, so it’s always worth repairing.

Acrylic

Acrylic baths are moulded sheet reinforced underneath. There is no rust, but cracks, holes and scratches happen, and a crack only stays repaired if it’s supported underneath.

When to call us in Single Street

Glass and heavy bottles cause more chips than anything else, closely followed by shower heads. Taps and wastes cause problems too: water collects there, so chips nearby rust quickly.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • Chips under the taps
  • Rust spots around the plughole
  • Impact holes in acrylic
  • Chips caused by builders

When a repair isn’t the answer

A repair isn’t right for every job, including:

  • A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
  • A whole bath that is dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
  • A steel bath rusted through

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