Bath repair in West Byfleet

Repairs by material

Pressed steel

Steel baths are lighter than cast iron, but have a similar enamel surface. Chips rust quickly on steel, particularly by the plughole, so early repairs matter.

Composite and resin

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

Bath repair at your home in West Byfleet

Small damage on a bath is worth repairing early. Exposed metal on enamelled baths soon rusts, while cracks in acrylic grow each time the bath moves. Repairing it stops the damage getting worse. Our technicians work on roll-top & freestanding, pressed steel enamel and whirlpool & spa baths, and people most frequently call us about a chip where the taps sit and chips along the edge of the bath.

You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we’ll sort it.

When to call us in West Byfleet

Nearly all the chips we see start with something being dropped: bottles, shower heads, tiles and tools. On enamelled baths, a chip that reaches the metal will start to rust.

The most common problems we’re called about are:

  • Damage beneath the taps
  • Snagging damage from a refit
  • Chips along the edge of the bath
  • Scratches you can feel with a fingernail

Before booking anyone

  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • When it can be used again
  • What protection goes down before work starts

What we do, step by step

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and tidy away. Allow a few hours, depending on the damage. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
  2. The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased, and any rust is treated.
  3. Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
  4. We match both the colour and the shine.
  5. We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the next day.

Before we arrive

  • Open a window if you can
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

How to care for the repair

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:

  • Have new chips seen to early
  • Rinse it down after each bath
  • Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
  • Cover the bath during DIY or decorating

Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and try not to drop heavy bottles on the repair. Get any new chip seen to quickly, before rust sets in.

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 it pays to deal with it early.

Honest limits

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
  • A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
  • Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.

What we work on

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

Can I fix it myself?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
