Bath repair in West Molesey

Bath repair in West Molesey without replacing anything

We repair enamelled steel, cast iron and acrylic baths. The method changes with the material: rust is treated on metal baths, while cracks in acrylic are reinforced from underneath. Whether it’s chips along the edge of the bath and cracks in an acrylic bath, we can help, whatever the material.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re not left on your own once we have gone.

Repairing versus replacing in West Molesey

Cast iron baths in particular are worth repairing: they’re very heavy to remove, especially upstairs, and replacing like for like is not cheap. Repairing it leaves it where it is. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for West Molesey. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

What you get with us

  • Fixed prices from your pictures
  • One visit for most repairs
  • Everything repaired in place
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK

See our pricing or guide to resurfacing and replacement costs.

When we’d advise against a repair

We would rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:

  • A whole bath that’s dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
  • Cracks in acrylic we cannot reach from underneath
  • Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

What we work on

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

Common problems we fix in West Molesey

Acrylic baths that crack nearly always have a support problem. Loose legs, no proper cradle or a floor that gives let the base flex until the acrylic gives way.

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

  • Chips caused by builders
  • Deep scratches in acrylic
  • Cracks in an acrylic bath
  • A kit repair that didn’t last

Our hiring checklist

How the visit works

Visits start with a quick look at the job together. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. Allow two to three hours for most chips.

  1. We clean the area and remove any loose enamel or rust.
  2. We fill the damage and sand it flush with the surrounding surface.
  3. The colour is mixed on the spot to match your bath.
  4. We build up the finish and polish it into the surrounding enamel.
  5. Once it has cured, typically by the next day, the bath is ready to use.

How to prepare

  • Open a window if you can
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Clear the area around the damage

What bath repair costs

Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:

  • How many areas need work
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The material

No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Quotes from your photos

Two or three clear pictures are typically enough. It helps if you send:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • The material, if you know it
  • A photo taken from further back
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.

How to care for the repair

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Have new chips seen to early
  • Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
  • Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
  • Check that an acrylic bath doesn’t move when you stand in it

Leave the repair to cure for as long as we say before running a bath. From then on, mild cleaning is all it needs.

Do not leave a chip on a steel or cast iron bath. Once water reaches the metal, rust begins, and a rust spot is a bigger repair than a clean chip.

Landlords, agents and businesses in West Molesey

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit.

Your questions about bath repair in West Molesey

How long does the repair take to cure?

Normally the next day. We’ll tell you the exact curing time when we finish.

Are you a vetted contractor?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.

Is it messy?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.

Can you repair several things at once?

Of course, and it usually saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we’ll quote them together.

Which areas do you work in?

Everywhere in the UK, West Molesey included. There is no extra charge for travel.

Do you come to West Molesey?

We do. Repair technicians travel to West Molesey from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Can you match an avocado or pink bath?

Yes, we match coloured baths too. We tint the finish to your bath on site.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. 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.
