How we handle bath repair in Sutton Wick

Chips, cracks, rust spots and small holes can be repaired with the bath left exactly where it is. Nothing is unplumbed, your tiles stay as they are, and the repaired area is colour matched so it blends in. We work on whirlpool & spa baths, pressed steel enamel and cast iron enamel, and common reasons people get in touch are damage done while the bathroom was being fitted and a chipped rim or side.

All our work comes with a one-year guarantee.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • The type of damage
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Unusual colours or finishes

The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book, with no extras added later.

How to get a fixed price

You can normally get a fixed quote without us visiting. To help us price it:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • A wider photo showing the entire bath

There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

Sutton Wick: your questions answered

Something went through my bath. Can it be fixed?

Often, if there’s access underneath. We back the hole, fill it and refinish the surface.

Will you leave a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.

Can rust on a bath be repaired?

Yes, very often. The rust is cut back to clean metal and sealed before we fill and finish it.

Does someone need to be in?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.

How long before I can use the bath?

Usually within a day, though it depends on what we have done.

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 before the end of a tenancy.

Do you come to Sutton Wick?

We do. Repair technicians travel to Sutton Wick from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

Repairs by material

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are thick and very strong, with a fused enamel surface. A chip down to the iron can rust, but the body of the bath lasts a very long time, which makes it well worth repairing.

Pressed steel

Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.

Landlord and trade work in Sutton Wick

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we’ll arrange it.

For anyone letting property in or around Sutton Wick, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Send pictures for each one and we’ll price them together.

Repair or replace in Sutton Wick?

If the rest of the bath is in good condition, a repair is almost always the better choice. It costs less, takes less time and causes far less upheaval, and you keep the bath you chose. Where the entire surface is tired, we may suggest re-enamelling instead. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

The process

Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so there are no surprises. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. Allow a few hours, depending on the damage.

  1. We start by cleaning the damage and taking out loose enamel and rust.
  2. Next we fill the damage and sand it smooth and level.
  3. The colour is mixed on the spot to match your bath.
  4. We build up the finish and polish it into the surrounding enamel.
  5. Once it has cured, generally by the next day, the bath is ready to use.

Before we arrive

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Open a window if you can

How to look after the repair

Aftercare is simple:

  • Don’t leave a fresh chip for long
  • Rinse it down after each bath
  • Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
  • Ensure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot

Don’t leave razors, cans or hair grips in the bath, because they can mark the enamel. And fix dripping taps promptly.

Small chips are quick to repair. Left alone, they stain and can rust, so it’s worth getting them done early.
