Need bath repair in Upper Holloway?

What happens on the day

Once we’re through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes a few hours, depending on the damage, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
  2. We fill the damage and sand it flush with the surrounding surface.
  3. We mix the colour on the day to match your bath’s exact shade.
  4. Finish coats go on, then the repair is polished to blend in.
  5. Once it has cured, generally by the following day, the bath is ready to use.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Bath repair in Upper Holloway, done in place

We repair enamelled steel, cast iron and acrylic baths. Each material is repaired a little differently: rust is treated on metal baths, while cracks in acrylic are reinforced from underneath. Common call-outs are for scratches you can feel with a fingernail and a failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting, on cast iron enamel, acrylic and pressed steel enamel.

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

How to look after the repair

A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:

  • Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
  • Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
  • Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
  • Do not scrub with anything abrasive

There’s nothing special to do after a repair. Avoid bleach-based and gritty cleaners and give it a rinse after each bath.

If water is getting through a crack, stop using the bath until it’s repaired. Leaks under a bath can damage floors and ceilings.

How we price bath repair

Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. This is what makes a difference:

  • The type of damage
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • What the surface is made of

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You will see the full price before you book.

How to get a fixed price

You can take the photos on your phone. Just ensure we can see:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • What it’s made of, if you know

Most customers in Upper Holloway get their price from pictures. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Upper Holloway questions

Will I be able to see the repair?

The goal is a repair that blends in. How well it disappears depends on the condition of the rest of the bath.

Is my repair covered?

Yes, for a year. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Do you charge for travel?

There is no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.

Will it make a mess?

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

Can you match an avocado or pink bath?

Yes. We mix the colour on the day to match, including older coloured suites.

Is a bath repair permanent?

It should, as long as the bath is firm and the area was prepared well. It’s covered by our one-year guarantee.

Do the materials smell?

Expect a mild smell while we’re working, which fades afterwards.

How soon can you come?

We’ll give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.

Work for landlords and builders

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Greater London and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, pictures and access details and we’ll arrange it.

What your bath is made of matters

Acrylic

Acrylic baths are moulded sheet reinforced underneath. They do not rust, but they can crack, scratch or be holed, and a crack only stays repaired if it’s supported underneath.

Pressed steel

Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.

Can I fix it myself?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

Do you need bath repair in Upper Holloway?

Glass and heavy bottles cause more chips than anything else. Fittings cause damage too: water sits around them, and any chip there soon rusts.

Send us a photo if you notice any of these:

  • A kit repair that didn’t last
  • Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
  • Rust by the waste and overflow
  • Chips under the taps
