Do you cover Teddington?

Will the repair last?

Yes, if it’s prepared properly and the bath is sound. It carries our one-year guarantee.

Bath repair in Teddington without replacing anything

Whatever the damage, the aim is the same: a repair that is smooth, sound and hard to spot. We prepare the area properly, fill and shape it, then match the colour and gloss so it sits flush with the rest of the bath. We regularly repair cast iron enamel, acrylic and pressed steel enamel, and people most often call us about rusty patches near the plughole and deep scratches in acrylic.

All our work is covered by a one-year guarantee.

DIY kit or professional repair?

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.

Common problems we fix in Teddington

Damage during fitting is very common. Tools, tiles and fittings get dropped into the bath, and the damage is not always spotted until later. Snagging repairs like these are a regular job for us.

Look out for any of the following:

  • Scuffs and scratches in the surface
  • A hole punched through by something heavy
  • Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
  • Rust by the waste and overflow

Before booking anyone

  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price

What affects the price in Teddington

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

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • What kind of damage it is
  • The material

Compared with replacing, repairing typically costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

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

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • The material, if you know it

If you’re in Teddington and want a price, pictures are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Teddington

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Teddington use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

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 normally takes a morning or an afternoon. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. We protect the bath and the floor around it.
  2. We clean, key and degrease the damage, and any rust is treated.
  3. We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
  4. We match both the colour and the shine.
  5. We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the next day.

Before we arrive

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Pressed steel

Steel baths are lighter than cast iron, but have a similar enamel surface. Chips rust quickly on steel, particularly by the plughole, so early repairs matter.

Composite and resin

Composite baths are dense and solid, and frequently freestanding. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour matched, in much the same way.

Looking after it afterwards

Aftercare is simple:

  • Store metal items away from the bath
  • If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
  • Give the bath a quick rinse after use
  • Cover the bath during DIY or decorating

Keep metal objects like razors and cans off the surface, as they can leave rust marks. And fix dripping taps promptly.

Stop using the bath if a crack lets water through until it’s repaired. Leaks under a bath can damage floors and ceilings.

Repairing versus replacing in Teddington

People frequently assume a cracked or chipped bath has to come out. Normally it does not: a proper repair gives it years more use, without the cost and upheaval of replacing it. Our bath repair starts from £95. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.
