DIY kit or professional repair?

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

What bath repair costs

Repairs from £95. We price every job individually. What matters most is:

What kind of damage it is
The material and finish
Any earlier repairs that need removing first
How hard the colour is to match

What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.

Getting a price from photos

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

What it’s made of, if you know
Any earlier repairs or coatings
Something in shot to show the size
One sharp close-up of the damage

Send us photos of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Southfields, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

What we can’t put right

A repair is not right for every job, including:

A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
Wear across the entire surface, which needs re-enamelling

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.

Repair or replace in Southfields?

A new bath costs more than the bath itself: removal and disposal, plumbing, a new panel, tiling and decorating. With a repair, it’s one visit and one price. Prices start from £95. Compared with replacing, repairing typically costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Looking after it afterwards

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

Have new chips seen to early
Put a towel in the bath if you’re working above it
Store metal items away from the bath
Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth

Treat the repaired area like the rest of the bath: warm water, washing-up liquid and a soft cloth. Avoid scourers and gritty cream cleaners.

A chip on a metal bath shouldn’t be left. Once water reaches the metal, rust begins, and a rust spot is a bigger repair than a clean chip.

Questions from Southfields

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Generally, yes. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.

Is a holed acrylic bath repairable?

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

Do you cover Southfields?

We do. We send a technician to Southfields for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Do the materials smell?

It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help.

How much does bath repair cost in Southfields?

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

When can I have a bath again?

Normally by the following day, depending on the repair.

Is there a call-out fee?

We don’t add a call-out fee. Your fixed quote includes everything.

What about rust by the waste?

Yes, very frequently. We take it back to sound metal, seal it, fill it and match the colour.

Do you need bath repair in Southfields?

Dropped items cause the majority of chips, and a lot happen during bathroom refits. Cracks in acrylic have a different cause: poor support underneath, so the bath flexes when it’s full.

People normally call us after spotting one of these:

Deep scratches in acrylic
Chips caused by builders
A chipped rim or side
Rusty patches near the plughole
