Trusted bath repair in Teasley Mead

Keeping it looking good

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Have new chips seen to early
  • Rinse it down after each bath
  • Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
  • Put a towel in the bath if you’re working above it

Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and try not to drop heavy bottles on the repair. Get any new chip seen to quickly, before rust sets in.

Rust spreads under enamel faster than most people expect. Left for months, a small chip can grow into a large rust patch, so it pays to deal with it early.

How we handle bath repair in Teasley Mead

Bath repair is our most common job. A chip by the taps, a crack in the base and a rust spot by the plughole are all fixed without removing the bath, generally in a single visit. Typical jobs include a kit repair that didn’t last and damage done while the bathroom was being fitted, across acrylic, roll-top & freestanding and cast iron enamel.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

When a repair isn’t the answer

A repair is not always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:

  • A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
  • Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
  • A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before booking.

Materials we repair

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

What we are called out for in Teasley Mead

Dropped items cause the majority of chips, and a lot happen during bathroom refits. Acrylic baths crack for a different reason: the bath isn’t properly supported, so it flexes under weight.

If you can see any of these, send us a picture:

  • Impact holes in acrylic
  • Chips under the taps
  • Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
  • Rust by the waste and overflow

What to look for in a quote

  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • What aftercare is recommended
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included

10 questions to ask before booking

What affects the price in Teasley Mead

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

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • How many areas need work
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • The material

We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Teasley Mead. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Send pictures for a quote

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Try to send:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Something in shot to show the size

You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

Repairs by material

Acrylic

Acrylic baths are moulded sheet reinforced underneath. There’s no rust, but cracks, holes and scratches happen, and cracks need support from behind to stay fixed.

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.

What we do, step by step

On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job usually takes a few hours. We clean up when we are done and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
  2. Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
  3. The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
  4. We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
  5. The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.

How to prepare

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

Ask for a price

Teasley Mead questions

How long does the repair take to cure?

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

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.

Can you repair a failed DIY repair?

Yes. We remove the old filler and start again. Tell us about it when you send photos.

What do you need from me?

Photos of the damage, a picture of the whole bath and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.

Can pets and children be at home?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. The rest of the house is unaffected.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners across Kent.

Can you quote from photos?

Normally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.

Are you accredited?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

Should you replace it?

Cast iron baths especially are worth keeping: getting one out, particularly from an upstairs bathroom, is a big job, and replacing like for like isn’t cheap. A repair keeps it in place. Prices start from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing generally costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
