Bath repair in St Thomas'

Bath repair in St Thomas' without replacing anything

Small damage on a bath is worth repairing early. Exposed metal on enamelled baths soon rusts, while cracks in acrylic grow each time the bath moves. A repair stops both. Common call-outs are for chips on the rim or sides and a cracked acrylic bath, in whirlpool & spa baths, pressed steel enamel and roll-top & freestanding.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there is a problem and we’ll sort it.

DIY kit or professional repair?

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 is not prepared the repair won’t last.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

Landlord and trade work in St Thomas'

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Common questions in St Thomas'

Is there a call-out fee?

No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.

Is it messy?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.

What do you need from me?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.

Will the price change on the day?

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

Do I have to be there?

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

I tried a repair kit. Can you fix it?

Yes. We remove the old filler and start again. Tell us about it when you send pictures.

How invisible is a bath repair?

On a bath in good condition, a colour matched repair is very hard to spot. On older, dull enamel the repair can look glossier than the area around it.

When to call us in St Thomas'

Most bath damage comes from something dropped: a shampoo bottle, a shower head, a tile or a tool during a refit. On enamelled baths, a chip that reaches the metal lets water in, and rust follows.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • A cracked acrylic bath
  • A failed DIY repair that is discoloured or lifting
  • Rusty patches near the plughole
  • Chips on the rim or sides

Our hiring checklist

What affects the price in St Thomas'

Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • What the surface is made of
  • What kind of damage it is
  • How much damage there is

Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Send pictures for a quote

The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Details of any past repairs

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and no obligation.

Repairs by material

Pressed steel

Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.

Composite and resin

Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, just like other baths.

Aftercare tips

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

  • Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
  • A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
  • Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
  • Don’t leave razors or cans standing in the bath

In the first few days, avoid putting weight or bottles on the repair. After that, clean it as you would the rest of the bath, avoiding abrasives.

If an acrylic bath has a crack, stop showering in it until it’s repaired. Each time it flexes, the crack grows, and water can get through to the floor below.

How the visit works

You don’t need to empty the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and start once you are happy with the plan. It normally takes a few hours, and you are 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. We match both the colour and the shine.
  5. We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the following day.

How to prepare

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Getting a price

We price from pictures so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.

Advice

What a repair can’t fix

It helps to know what we can’t do:

  • Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we can’t get to from below
  • A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
  • A steel bath rusted through

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.
