Repairs by material

Cast iron

Cast iron is heavy and rigid, finished with fired enamel. Chips can rust if left, but the body of the bath lasts a very long time, so it’s always worth repairing.

Composite and resin

Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid, and frequently freestanding. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour-matched, just like other baths.

Signs you need bath repair in Tooting Bec

Heavy toiletries are the biggest single cause of chips, with dropped shower heads close behind. Taps and wastes cause problems too: water collects there, so chips nearby rust quickly.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • A hole punched through by something heavy
  • Chips on the rim or sides
  • A kit repair that didn’t last
  • Scuffs and scratches in the surface

Questions to ask before booking

  • What prep work is covered
  • What happens if they find more damage
  • How your room will be protected
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges

Choosing a repair company

Landlords, agents and businesses in Tooting Bec

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

When we would advise against a repair

In fairness, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:

  • A whole bath that is dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
  • Cracks in acrylic we cannot reach from underneath
  • Leaking fittings, which need a plumber

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

Surfaces we repair

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

What we do, step by step

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and tidy away. Plan for a few hours. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
  2. Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
  3. We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
  4. The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
  5. The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.

How to prepare

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

How to get a price

There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

Advice

Tooting Bec: your questions answered

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.

Is a bath repair durable?

A properly prepared repair should last a long time, and it’s guaranteed for a year. Gentle cleaning helps it last.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so let us know about it.

Do you work in Tooting Bec?

Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Tooting Bec and the rest of Greater London. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. The rest of the house is unaffected.

Will the price change on the day?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

What information do you need?

Photos of the damage, a photo of the entire bath and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.

Do you cover the whole of Greater London?

Across the UK, so Tooting Bec is covered. Our prices are the same everywhere.

DIY kit or professional repair?

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. 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.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Tooting Bec. The price comes down to:

  • The type of damage
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • How much damage there is
  • Unusual colours or finishes

There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Quotes from your pictures

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

  • One picture of the entire bath
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • The material, if you know it

Send us a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you’re in Tooting Bec, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

Should you replace it?

For damage in one or two places, a repair is the obvious choice. It costs far less than a new bath plus fitting, it’s done in one visit, and the bathroom stays exactly as it is. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Why book with us

  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • Colour mixed on the day to match
