DIY repairs versus a professional job

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

Bath repair in West Brompton without replacing anything

Most bath damage, from chips and cracks to rust spots and holes, is repaired in place. There is no plumbing to disconnect, the tiles aren’t touched, and the repaired area is colour-matched so it blends in. Common call-outs are for impact holes in acrylic and chips caused by builders, across cast iron enamel, acrylic and whirlpool & spa baths.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing a fitted bath normally involves a plumber, removing the old bath, making good the tiles and panel and getting rid of the old bath. Repairing it fixes just the damaged area in one visit. Prices start from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for West Brompton. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

What you get with us

  • A year’s guarantee on all work

How it works

From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes two to three hours for most chips, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
  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 build up the finish and polish it into the surrounding enamel.
  5. The repair is left to cure, and most baths can be used the following day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Open a window if you can

Ask for a price

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. There is no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.

If you can see any of these, send us a picture:

  • A chipped rim or side
  • Holes from dropped items
  • Rusty patches near the plughole
  • An old repair that has yellowed or come loose

Your questions about bath repair in West Brompton

Is a bath repair permanent?

A properly prepared repair should last a long time, and it’s guaranteed for a year. Gentle cleaning helps it last.

Is there a guarantee?

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

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

We come back with a fixed quote. There is no obligation to book.

Can you repair a failed DIY repair?

Yes. We remove the old filler and start again. Tell us about it when you send photos.

Do you charge for travel?

Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners in West Brompton.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

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.

Will I be able to see the repair?

On a bath in good condition, a colour matched repair is very hard to spot. On older, dull enamel the repair can look glossier than the area around it.

When a repair is not the answer

It helps to know what we can’t do too:

  • A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
  • Wear across the whole surface, which needs re-enamelling
  • Acrylic cracks with no access behind them

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

Materials we repair

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

Looking after it afterwards

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

  • Ensure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
  • Give the bath a quick rinse after use
  • Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
  • A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early

For the first few days, keep heavy bottles off the repaired spot. After that, normal gentle cleaning is fine.

If water is getting through a crack, stop using the bath. Water under the bath can damage the floor and the ceiling below.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

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.

Pressed steel

Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
