Book bath repair in South Bank

Keeping it looking good

So the finish stays in good condition:

  • Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
  • If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
  • Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
  • 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 water is getting through a crack, stop using the bath. Water under the bath can damage the floor and the ceiling below.

How we handle bath repair in South Bank

Chips, cracks, rust spots and small holes is repaired in place. There is no plumbing to disconnect, your tiles stay as they are, and the finish is matched to the rest of the bath. Our repair technicians work on roll-top & freestanding, whirlpool & spa baths and pressed steel enamel, and common reasons people contact us are a cracked acrylic bath and snagging damage from a refit.

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

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

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

What we do, step by step

We work cleanly and quietly, so you can carry on at home. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a few hours. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to care for it.

  1. We start by cleaning the damage and taking out loose enamel and rust.
  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 apply the finish coats and polish the repair so it blends in.
  5. The repair is left to cure, and most baths can be used the following day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Ask for a price

Send us a photo of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you’re in South Bank, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

Landlords, agents and businesses in South Bank

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in South Bank use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

When we would advise against a repair

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • 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)
  • Acrylic cracks with no access behind them

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

  • Roll-top & freestanding

South Bank: your questions answered

When can you do it?

We’ll give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

How much does bath repair cost in South Bank?

Prices start from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Will the repair last?

A properly prepared repair should last a long time, and ours come with a one-year guarantee. Gentle cleaning helps.

Can you repair a hole in a bath?

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

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.

Can you repair a chip on a coloured bath?

Yes, we match coloured baths too. We tint the finish to your bath on site.

When can I have a bath again?

Usually the next day. We confirm the time before we leave.

What affects the price in South Bank

Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We look at:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • How many items we do on one visit

Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.

Getting a price from photos

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Try to send:

  • A wider photo showing the entire bath
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Natural light rather than flash

If you’re in South Bank and want a price, the easiest route is photos: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

Repair or replace: which is better?

A repair makes sense whenever the damage is localised. It costs far less than a new bath plus fitting, it takes one visit, and the bathroom stays exactly as it is. Our bath repair starts from £95. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.

  • Free fixed quotes from pictures

What your bath is made of matters

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

Cast iron

A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that’s the part we put right.
