Most of our bath repairs take a few hours, and the bath is back in use the next day. There is no need to book a plumber or tiler, because nothing is disconnected. Our repair technicians work on roll-top & freestanding, cast iron enamel and pressed steel enamel, and people most frequently call us about rusty patches near the plughole and chips on the rim or sides.

Why repair rather than replace?

Think about the hidden costs of a new bath: removal and disposal, plumbing, a new panel, tiling and decorating. A repair is one job, done in one visit. Our bath repair starts from £95. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Why book with us

  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • Fixed prices from your pictures
  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • We leave the room as we found it

Can I fix it myself?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

FAQs for Sutton

Is my repair covered?

All our work carries a one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

What happens after I send photos?

We look at the photos and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.

Can you repair a chip on a coloured bath?

Yes, coloured baths are no problem. We tint the finish to your bath on site.

Can you price it without visiting?

Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.

Do you cover the entire of Wakefield?

We work UK-wide. Our prices are the same everywhere.

How do I get a price for bath repair in Sutton?

Prices start from £95. Every job gets a fixed quote based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your WF11 postcode.

Will there be a smell?

A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Sutton

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit.

If you manage property in Sutton, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Just send pictures for each address and we’ll come back with a combined price.

What bath repair costs

Prices start from £95. There is no charge for travel to Sutton. The price depends on:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • The material
  • How many areas need work

The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.

How to get a fixed quote

Two or three clear pictures are generally enough. Try to include:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

Upload pictures of the damage and one of the whole item, with your WF11 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

When to call us in Sutton

A cracked acrylic bath usually wasn’t supported properly. Legs that are not adjusted, a missing cradle or a soft floor let the bath move.

These are the problems we’re asked about most:

  • Rust spots around the plughole
  • Chips caused by builders
  • A hole punched through by something heavy
  • Scratches you can feel with a fingernail

Questions to ask before booking

  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • How long it needs to cure
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT

Choosing a repair company

Aftercare tips

It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:

  • Do not scrub with anything abrasive
  • Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
  • Check that an acrylic bath does not move when you stand in it
  • Get any new chip repaired before it rusts

Look after the repair the same way as the bath: warm water, washing-up liquid and a soft cloth. Keep scouring pads and gritty cleaners away from it.

A chip on a metal bath shouldn’t be left. Once water reaches the metal, rust begins, turning a quick repair into a bigger one.

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. 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. The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased, and any rust is treated.
  3. Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
  4. We match both the colour and the shine.
  5. We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the day after.

Before we arrive

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Honest limits

It helps to know what we cannot do:

  • Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
  • A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
  • Wear across the whole surface, which needs re-enamelling
