Repairs by material

Acrylic

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

Pressed steel

Pressed steel is thinner and lighter, with an enamel finish like cast iron. Exposed steel rusts fast, particularly by the plughole, so repair chips early.

How we handle bath repair in Streatham Hill

Most bath damage, from chips and cracks to rust spots and holes, is repaired in place. There’s no plumbing to disconnect, the tiles are not touched, and the finish is matched to the rest of the bath. We regularly repair cast iron enamel, pressed steel enamel and acrylic, and common reasons people contact us are damage done while the bathroom was being fitted and scratches you can feel with a fingernail.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are covered after the visit.

How we price bath repair

Repairs from £95. There is no charge for travel to Streatham Hill. The price comes down to:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • The material

Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Streatham Hill. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Send pictures for a quote

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:

  • One picture of the whole bath
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • The material, if you know it
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

Send us a photo of the damage and one of the whole item, with your SW2 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

How the visit works

Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. Most visits take two to three hours for most chips, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
  2. Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
  3. The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
  4. We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
  5. The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated

Getting a price

You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

Advice

Landlords, agents and businesses in Streatham Hill

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Greater London and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Streatham Hill questions

Will it make a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.

Are you accredited?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

Do you charge for travel?

We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.

Is there a guarantee?

Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

What about rust by the waste?

Yes, it’s one of the most common repairs we do. The rust is cut back to clean metal and sealed before we fill and finish it.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

Can you redo an old repair?

Regularly. The old material comes out, any rust is treated, then we repair it properly.

When can I have a bath again?

Normally by the following day, though it depends on what we’ve done.

Common problems we fix in Streatham Hill

Most bath damage comes from something dropped: bottles, shower heads, tiles and tools. On steel and cast iron baths, any chip down to the metal will start to rust.

Get in touch if you’ve noticed any of these:

  • Impact holes in acrylic
  • Snagging damage from a refit
  • Rusty patches near the plughole
  • Hairline or through cracks in acrylic

What your quote should include

  • What aftercare is recommended
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • Who turns up on the day

Read our prices page or resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.

What we can’t put right

To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair will not fix:

  • Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
  • Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
  • A whole bath that is dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before booking.

What we work on

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

DIY kit or professional repair?

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, and the work is guaranteed.

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 isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
