Your questions about bath repair in Tottenham

Do the materials smell?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It clears as the materials cure.

Can a cracked acrylic bath be fixed?

In most cases. We reinforce the crack from behind, then fill and refinish the front, so access behind the panel is important.

Will it make a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.

How quickly can you book me in?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.

Will the repair last?

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

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

In most cases. The old repair comes out first.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in Tottenham.

How we handle bath repair in Tottenham

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 repaired in place, normally in one visit. Common call-outs are for chips under the taps and rust by the waste and overflow, across whirlpool & spa baths, roll-top & freestanding and cast iron enamel.

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

Should I try a DIY kit first?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. 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.

How we price bath repair

Prices start from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Access to the area

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.

Send photos for a quote

The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • A photo taken from further back
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos using our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

When a repair isn’t the answer

We won’t take on work that won’t last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:

  • A whole bath that is dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
  • A steel bath rusted through
  • Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

What we work on

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

Signs you need bath repair in Tottenham

The usual cause is something heavy dropped into the bath, and building work is a common culprit. Cracks in acrylic have a different cause: poor support underneath, so the bath flexes when it’s full.

Signs it’s time to call us include:

  • A chip where the taps sit
  • Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
  • Scuffs and scratches in the surface
  • Cracks in an acrylic bath

Questions to ask before you book

  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • Whether a trained technician does the job

Choosing a repair company

What happens on the day

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you’re not left guessing. Once we’re there, the work takes a few hours in most cases. We leave the room clean.

  1. First, we check the damage against your pictures and agree the plan.
  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.

Before we arrive

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Open a window if you can
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

How to get a price

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Tottenham

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

If you manage property in Tottenham, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we’ll come back with a combined price.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing a fitted bath normally involves a plumber, removing the old bath, making good the tiles and panel and disposing of the old one. Repairing it deals only with the damage in one visit. Our bath repair starts from £95. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.

Why us?

  • One visit for most repairs
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited

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

Keeping it looking good

So the finish stays in good condition for years:

  • Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
  • Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
  • Make sure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
  • Get any new chip repaired before it rusts

Give the repair the full curing time we recommend before running a bath. From then on, mild cleaning is all it needs.

Rust under enamel spreads surprisingly quickly. A chip the size of a fingernail can become a much larger patch if it’s left for months, so early repair keeps the cost down.
