How the visit works

From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes a morning or an afternoon, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  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. Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

How to get a price

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos using our quote form or call us. We will say immediately whether it can be repaired.

Advice

About our bath repair in Tulse Hill

Most bath damage, from chips and cracks to rust spots and holes, can be repaired with the bath left exactly where it is. Nothing is unplumbed, the tiles aren’t touched, and the repaired area is colour-matched so it blends in. We regularly repair acrylic, roll-top & freestanding and cast iron enamel, and the jobs we see most are a kit repair that didn’t last and scratches you can feel with a fingernail.

Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before booking.

Repairs by material

Acrylic

An acrylic bath is a moulded sheet strengthened from below. There is no rust, but cracks, holes and scratches happen, and a crack only stays repaired if it’s supported underneath.

Cast iron

Cast iron is heavy and rigid, finished with fired enamel. A chip down to the iron can rust, but the bath itself lasts for generations, so it’s always worth repairing.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

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, then guarantee it for a year.

Common questions in Tulse Hill

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.

What do you need from me?

Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we will take it from there.

Are you a vetted contractor?

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

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

Is there a call-out fee?

No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Something went through my bath. Can it be fixed?

Generally. Send us a picture of the hole and one from under the bath if you can.

How long before I can use the bath?

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

How soon can you come?

That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.

Repairing versus replacing in Tulse Hill

A repair makes sense whenever the damage is localised. It costs far less than a new bath plus fitting, it’s done in one visit, and the bathroom stays exactly as it is. Prices start from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Tulse Hill. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Why Tulse Hill clients choose us

  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • Same prices wherever you are
  • Work done at your home or business
  • Usually one visit, start to finish

For landlords and businesses

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Tulse Hill as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we will arrange it.

Common problems we fix in Tulse Hill

Nearly all the chips we see start with something being dropped: bottles, shower heads, tiles and tools. On steel and cast iron baths, any chip down to the metal lets water in, and rust follows.

Keep an eye out for any of the following:

  • Scuffs and scratches in the surface
  • Chips caused by builders
  • Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
  • Holes from dropped items

Before you book anyone

  • If travel is included in the price
  • What aftercare is recommended
  • What happens if they find more damage
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price

How to compare quotes

Looking after it afterwards

So the finish stays in good condition:

  • Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
  • Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
  • Do not scrub with anything abrasive
  • Put a towel in the bath if you’re working above it

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

Avoid standing in a cracked acrylic bath until it’s fixed. Every use opens the crack a little more, and water can get through to the floor below.

When a repair is not the answer

To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:

  • A steel bath rusted through
  • Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
  • A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.
