Bath repair in West Silvertown

Bath repair at your home in West Silvertown

Repairing baths is what we do most. Chips on the rim, rust around the waste and cracks in acrylic are all fixed without removing the bath, usually in a single visit. We regularly repair acrylic, pressed steel enamel and cast iron enamel, and people most often call us about holes from dropped items and rust spots around the plughole.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there is a problem and we’ll sort it.

How it works

We turn up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. The work itself takes a few hours, depending on the damage, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. We start by cleaning the damage and taking out loose enamel and rust.
  2. Next we fill the damage and sand it smooth and level.
  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, generally by the following day, the bath is ready to use.

How to prepare

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Landlords, agents and businesses in West Silvertown

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

What affects the price in West Silvertown

Prices start from £95. There’s no area surcharge for West Silvertown. The price reflects:

  • Access to the area
  • What kind of damage it is
  • How many areas need work
  • The colour and finish to match

Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Send pictures for a quote

When you take your photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Where you are, by postcode

There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

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 then the old filler has to be removed first.

Should you replace it?

Replacing a bath rarely stops at the bath: tiles along the rim generally crack when it comes out, the panel may not fit the new one, and a plumber has to disconnect and reconnect everything. Repairing the damage avoids all of that. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Repairs by material

Pressed steel

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

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

Do you need bath repair in West Silvertown?

Glass and heavy bottles cause more chips than anything else, closely followed by shower heads. Fittings cause damage too: water collects there, so chips nearby rust quickly.

Customers normally contact us about:

  • Rust by the waste and overflow
  • Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
  • Impact holes in acrylic
  • Chips on the rim or sides

What your quote should include

  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • What happens if they find more damage
  • How the room is protected while they work
