Before and after: a chipped, rust-stained bath around the plughole

Landlord and trade work in Sutton

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Sutton as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it typically costs far less than a refit.

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.

The process

Here’s how a visit typically runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, do the job and tidy away. Plan for a few hours, depending on the damage from start to finish. Before we go, we’ll explain how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
  2. The chip or crack is filled, then sanded level with the bath.
  3. We tint the finish on the day to suit your bath’s shade of white or colour.
  4. Finish coats go on, then the repair is polished to blend in.
  5. We leave it to cure; you can normally use the bath the following day.

Before we arrive

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

How to get a price

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures using our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

Advice

Repairs by material

Acrylic

An acrylic bath is a moulded sheet strengthened from below. There is no rust, but cracks, holes and scratches happen, and cracks need support from behind to stay fixed.

Composite and resin

Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, in much the same way.

When we’d advise against a repair

We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair won’t do:

  • A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
  • Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
  • Cracks in acrylic we cannot reach from underneath

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.

What we work on

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

What affects the price in Sutton

Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We look at:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • The material and finish
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • What kind of damage it is

What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Getting a price from pictures

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

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A picture taken from further back
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

Most clients in Sutton get their price from photos. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Questions from Sutton

What happens if you find more damage?

If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.

How long does the repair take to cure?

Normally by the following day, depending on the repair.

Can you repair a failed DIY repair?

Regularly. We strip it out, deal with any rust and repair it again.

What information do you need?

Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we will take it from there.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Of course, and it usually saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and you’ll get one combined price.

Something went through my bath. Can it be fixed?

In most cases. Photos of the hole and the underside help us check.

How quickly can you book me in?

Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Will the repair show?

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.

Signs you need bath repair in Sutton

The usual cause is something heavy dropped into the bath, and a lot happen during bathroom refits. Cracks in acrylic have a different cause: poor support underneath, so the bath flexes when it’s full.

Clients usually contact us about:

  • Snagging damage from a refit
  • Deep scratches in acrylic
  • Impact holes in acrylic
  • Damage beneath the taps

What to look for in a quote

  • How your room will be protected
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • Who turns up on the day
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long

Choosing a repair company

How to care for the repair

It’s all simple stuff:

  • Store metal items away from the bath
  • Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
  • Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
  • Get any new chip repaired before it rusts

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

A small chip is a quick job. Left alone, they stain and can rust, so early repair saves time and money.
