Bath repair in Sutton without replacing anything

Repairing baths is what we do most. A chip by the taps, a crack in the base and a rust spot by the plughole are all repaired in place, usually in a single visit. If you are dealing with holes from dropped items and a cracked acrylic bath, we can normally put it right, whatever the material.

Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

FAQs for Sutton

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Generally, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.

Can landlords book you?

Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

How much does bath repair cost in Sutton?

Repairs from £95. We give a fixed quote from your pictures. Send a close-up and a photo of the entire item and your postcode.

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

We review the pictures and send a fixed quote and the next dates we have.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.

When can I have a bath again?

Most baths can be used the following day. We confirm the time before we leave.

Can you repair a crack in an acrylic bath?

Typically, yes, as long as we can get to the back of the crack to support it. Check under the bath panel, or send us a photo.

Can you repair a hole in a bath?

Usually, yes, if we can reach behind it. The hole is backed, filled and refinished to match.

Common problems we fix in Sutton

Nearly all the chips we see start with something being dropped: a shampoo bottle, a shower head, a tile or a tool during a refit. On steel and cast iron baths, any chip down to the metal will start to rust.

The things clients generally mention when they call include:

  • Rust by the waste and overflow
  • Deep scratches in acrylic
  • Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
  • A chipped rim or side

Questions to ask before booking

  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • How to care for the finish

Our hiring checklist

Different materials, different repairs

Composite and resin

Composite baths are dense and solid, and often freestanding. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour-matched, just like other baths.

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that’s what we repair.

Should you replace it?

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. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

What you get with us

  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • Same prices wherever you are

Take a look at our prices page or guide to resurfacing and replacement costs.

When we’d advise against a repair

Some jobs are not right for a repair, for example:

  • A whole bath that is dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
  • Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
  • Leaking fittings, which need a plumber

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before you book.

What we work on

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

What happens on the day

From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes two to three hours for most chips, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
  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. Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
  5. We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the following day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Open a window if you can

Getting a price

Upload pictures of the damage and one of the whole item, with your YO17 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

Related advice

Landlord and trade work in Sutton

If you manage property in Sutton, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send pictures for each one and we’ll price them together.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • How many areas need work
  • The material

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before booking.

How to get a fixed price

Photographing the damage takes a minute. Please include:

  • Any details about the material
  • One picture of the whole bath
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Where you are, by postcode

We price from photos so you do not 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.
