Trusted bath repair in Sundridge

DIY kit or professional repair?

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

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 fails, we can still put it right.

About our bath repair in Sundridge

Most of our bath repairs take a few hours, and the bath is back in use the day after. There’s no need to book a plumber or tiler, because nothing is disconnected. We work on cast iron enamel, roll-top & freestanding and pressed steel enamel, and people most frequently call us about snagging damage from a refit and holes from dropped items.

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

How we price bath repair

Repairs from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:

  • What the surface is made of
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • How easy the damage is to reach

Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

How to get a fixed quote

Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • Any details about the material
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and no obligation.

What a repair cannot fix

A repair is not right for every job, for example:

  • A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
  • Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
  • Cracks in acrylic we cannot reach from underneath

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.

The process

Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you and checks the damage against your photos first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. Most visits take two to three hours for most chips, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. We protect the bath and the floor around it.
  2. We clean, key and degrease the damage, and any rust is treated.
  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 next day.

Before we arrive

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

How to get a price

No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. 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

Repairing versus replacing in Sundridge

When the bath is otherwise sound, repairing beats replacing. It’s quicker, cheaper and far less disruptive, and you keep the bath you chose. Where the entire surface is tired, we may suggest re-enamelling instead. Our bath repair starts from £95. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK

Sundridge: your questions answered

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

We review the pictures and send a fixed quote.

What areas do you cover?

Across the UK, so Sundridge is covered. Prices don’t change with location.

Will I be able to see the repair?

On a glossy bath, you’ll struggle to find it. On worn enamel, it can look shinier than the rest.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in Sundridge.

Do you cover Sundridge?

Yes. We cover the whole UK and travel to Sundridge. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Do you charge for travel?

No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.

Will the price change on the day?

If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.

Looking after it afterwards

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:

  • Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
  • Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
  • Store metal items away from the bath
  • Do not leave a fresh chip for long

For the first few days, keep heavy bottles off the repaired spot. After that, clean it as you would the rest of the bath.

Until we visit, a strip of waterproof tape over the damage helps, to keep water out. Remove it before the repair.

What we’re called out for in Sundridge
