How we handle bath repair in St Kew Highway

A damaged bath doesn’t have to mean a new bathroom. Our technicians fill, shape and refinish the damage, with the colour mixed on site. Our repair technicians work on whirlpool & spa baths, pressed steel enamel and cast iron enamel, and the jobs we see most are a kit repair that didn’t last and a cracked acrylic bath.

We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

What affects the price in St Kew Highway

Repairs from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:

  • How many areas need work
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Access to the area

The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before booking, with no extras added later.

Quotes from your photos

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

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Details of any past repairs
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • The material, if you know it

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed quote without visiting.

Landlord and trade work in St Kew Highway

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we will handle the rest.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Can I fix it myself?

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, 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 is not prepared the repair will not last.

How the visit works

On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll take it from there. The job generally runs to a few hours, depending on the damage.

  1. We clean the area and remove any loose enamel or rust.
  2. Next we fill the damage and sand it smooth and level.
  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. We leave it to cure; you can generally use the bath the day after.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

St Kew Highway questions

Is a bath repair durable?

A properly prepared repair should last a long time, and it’s guaranteed for a year. Gentle cleaning helps.

Can you price it without visiting?

Yes, almost always. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.

Do I have to be there?

We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.

How do I book?

Photos of the damage, a photo of the entire bath and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

Can tenants book a repair?

We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

Is there a guarantee?

Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Can you repair a crack in an acrylic bath?

Most of the time. The back of the crack is strengthened before the front is filled and refinished, so access behind the panel is important.

How long before I can use the bath?

Typically within a day, depending on the repair.

Repair or replace: which is better?

If the rest of the bath is in good condition, a repair is almost always the better choice. It’s quicker, cheaper and far less disruptive, and the bathroom stays as it is. Where the entire surface is tired, we may suggest re-enamelling instead. Our bath repair starts from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Why St Kew Highway clients choose us

  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • Typically one visit, start to finish
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • Rooms protected and left tidy

How to look after the repair

Nothing complicated is needed:

  • Put a towel in the bath if you’re working above it
  • Have new chips seen to early
  • Store metal items away from the bath
  • A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early

Use gentle, non-abrasive cleaners and try not to drop heavy bottles on the repair. Deal with new chips early, before rust sets in.

Don’t leave a chip on a steel or cast iron bath. Once water reaches the metal, rust begins, turning a quick repair into a bigger one.

When a repair isn’t the answer

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

  • Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
  • Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we can’t get to from below
  • Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

Surfaces we repair

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

What we’re called out for in St Kew Highway

The usual cause is something heavy dropped into the bath, and building work is a common culprit. Acrylic baths crack for a different reason: poor support underneath, so the bath flexes when it’s full.

People usually call us after spotting something like this:

  • A cracked acrylic bath
  • Chips under the taps
  • Chips on the rim or sides
  • Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted

What your quote should include

  • Who turns up on the day
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • How changes to the job are handled
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
