Trusted bath repair in Totford

What we cannot put right

We’d rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so these are the limits:

  • A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
  • Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
  • A steel bath rusted through

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

Surfaces we repair

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

Bath repair at your home in Totford

Whether your bath is steel, cast iron or acrylic, we can repair it. The method changes with the material: rust is treated on metal baths, while cracks in acrylic are reinforced from underneath. Common call-outs are for damage done while the bathroom was being fitted and impact holes in acrylic, across cast iron enamel, pressed steel enamel and acrylic.

Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Your questions about bath repair in Totford

Can tenants book a repair?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just ensure the landlord agrees.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.

Are you a vetted contractor?

We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

Can you repair a failed DIY repair?

Yes. We take out the old repair and do it properly. Mention it when you send photos.

Is a cracked acrylic bath repairable?

Most of the time. The back of the crack is strengthened before the front is filled and refinished, so access behind the panel is important.

What areas do you cover?

We cover the whole UK, including Totford and the rest of Hampshire. Just include your postcode and we’ll offer you dates.

Is there a guarantee?

All our work carries our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Aftercare tips

Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:

  • Have new chips seen to early
  • Store metal items away from the bath
  • Rinse it down after each bath
  • Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby

Care for the repair the same way as the bath: warm water, washing-up liquid and a soft cloth. Avoid scourers and gritty cream cleaners.

A chip on a metal bath shouldn’t be left. Water gets to the metal and rust starts, and a rust spot is a bigger repair than a clean chip.

Different materials, different repairs

Composite and resin

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

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that is the part we put right.

DIY kit or professional repair?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

What bath repair costs

Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Totford. What changes the price is:

  • What the surface is made of
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • The colour and finish to match

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Send photos for a quote

We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what we need:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Details of any past repairs
  • A photo taken from further back

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole bath, we can price the job.

Common problems we fix in Totford

Baths take more knocks than people expect: bottles, shower heads and razors are dropped every day, and fittings press hard against the enamel. Over time, chips and rust spots are almost inevitable.

Customers normally contact us about:

  • A kit repair that didn’t last
  • Damage beneath the taps
  • A cracked acrylic bath
  • Chips along the edge of the bath

What to look for in a quote

  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers

Our hiring checklist

What we do, step by step

We turn up when we said we would, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. The work itself takes two to three hours for most chips, and we leave the room as we found it.

  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. 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.

Before we arrive

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Ask for a price

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures through our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

Repairing versus replacing in Totford

Swapping a damaged bath for a new one typically means a plumber, lifting out the old bath, re-tiling and a new panel and getting rid of the old bath. Repairing it fixes just the damaged area in one visit. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Why us?

  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • Fixed prices from your pictures
  • We leave the room as we found it
