Bath repair in Tadworth

How it works

We work cleanly and quietly. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes a few hours, depending on the damage. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
  2. The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased.
  3. We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
  4. We match both the colour and the shine.
  5. We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, normally the day after.

How to prepare

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Bath repair at your home in Tadworth

Most bath damage, from chips and cracks to rust spots and holes, is repaired in place. Nothing is unplumbed, the tiles aren’t touched, and the finish is matched to the rest of the bath. Our repair technicians work on roll-top & freestanding, whirlpool & spa baths and pressed steel enamel, and common reasons people get in touch are chips caused by builders and a cracked acrylic bath.

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Surrey.

What we can’t put right

Not everything can be repaired, and we will tell you before we start. We cannot fix:

  • Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
  • A steel bath rusted through
  • A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)

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

Materials we repair

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

What bath repair costs

Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Tadworth. The price reflects:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • What kind of damage it is

There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Quotes from your pictures

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:

  • A wider photo showing the entire bath
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole bath, add your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

Signs you need bath repair in Tadworth

The usual cause is something heavy dropped into the bath, and building work is a common culprit. Cracks in acrylic have a different cause: the bath isn’t properly supported, so it flexes under weight.

Keep an eye out for any of the following:

  • Snagging damage from a refit
  • Rust by the waste and overflow
  • Deep scratches in acrylic
  • A cracked acrylic bath

What your quote should include

  • What preparation is included
  • What aftercare is recommended
  • How the colour is matched
  • Whether the price covers travel

10 questions to ask before booking

Different materials, different repairs

Pressed steel

Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.

Composite and resin

Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid, and frequently freestanding. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour-matched, in much the same way.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Think about the hidden costs of a new bath: removal and disposal, plumbing, a new panel, tiling and decorating. With a repair, it’s one visit and one price. Our bath repair starts from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Why us?

  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • Everything repaired in place
  • One visit for most repairs

Read our prices page or guide to resurfacing and replacement costs.

Keeping it looking good

Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:

  • Store metal items away from the bath
  • Make sure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
  • Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
  • Rinse it down after each bath

Use gentle, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy items on the repaired area. Get any new chip seen to quickly, before rust can start.

Do not leave a chip on a steel or cast iron bath. Once water reaches the metal, rust begins, turning a quick repair into a bigger one.

Work for landlords and builders

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip.

Tadworth questions

Will the price change on the day?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.

Do you cover Tadworth?

We do. We send a technician to Tadworth for every job, with no extra charge for travel.

I tried a repair kit. Can you fix it?

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

What information do you need?

Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.

Is there a guarantee?

Yes: twelve months. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Will there be a smell?

A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help.

Will you leave a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.

Will the repair show?

The goal is a repair that blends in. How well it disappears depends on the condition of the rest of the bath.
