Bath repair in Walham Green, done in place

A repair fixes just the damaged area and blends it into the rest of the bath, which costs far less than replacing a fitted bath and the tiles around it. You can normally use the bath the next day. We work on roll-top & freestanding, cast iron enamel and pressed steel enamel, and the jobs we see most are rust spots around the plughole and scuffs and scratches in the surface.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

Signs you need bath repair in Walham Green

Nearly all the chips we see start with something being dropped: a shampoo bottle, a shower head, a tile or a tool during a refit. On enamelled baths, a chip that reaches the metal lets water in, and rust follows.

Customers generally contact us about:

  • An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
  • Cracks in an acrylic bath
  • Rusty patches near the plughole
  • Scratches you can feel with a fingernail

Before booking anyone

  • How changes to the job are handled
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges

Our hiring checklist

Questions from Walham Green

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.

What do you need from me?

Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we’ll do the rest.

Do you come to Walham Green?

Yes, we do. Repair technicians travel to Walham Green from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.

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 before the end of a tenancy.

Can you repair a failed DIY repair?

Yes, we do this often. We strip it out, deal with any rust and repair it again.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

Is a cracked acrylic bath repairable?

Usually, yes, as long as we can get to the back of the crack to support it. Take off the bath panel and check, or send us a picture.

Something went through my bath. Can it be fixed?

Frequently, if there is access underneath. The hole is backed, filled and refinished to match.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. You will know the full cost before booking. We take into account:

  • The type of damage
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • The size and number of damaged areas

A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Send photos for a quote

Phone pictures are fine. Just ensure we can see:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • A picture taken from further back

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole bath, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

The process

We work cleanly and quietly. We protect the area first, then the work takes a morning or an afternoon. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. We start by cleaning the damage and taking out loose enamel and rust.
  2. The chip or crack is filled, then sanded level with the bath.
  3. We tint the finish on the day to suit your bath’s shade of white or colour.
  4. We apply the finish coats and polish the repair so it blends in.
  5. We leave it to cure; you can usually use the bath the day after.

Before we arrive

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Related advice

Landlord and trade work in Walham Green

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Walham Green use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

Aftercare tips

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:

  • Have new chips seen to early
  • Put a towel in the bath if you’re working above it
  • Store metal items away from the bath
  • Make sure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot

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

Avoid standing in a cracked acrylic bath until it’s fixed. Each time it flexes, the crack grows, and it can start to leak underneath.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

Composite and resin

Composite baths are dense and solid, and often freestanding. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, just like other baths.
