Bath repair for West Wickham homes

West Wickham questions

Can pets and children be at home?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

When can I have a bath again?

Normally by the following day, though it depends on what we have done.

Can you quote from photos?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.

How invisible is a bath repair?

The goal is a repair that blends in. How well it disappears depends on the condition of the rest of the bath, and we will tell you what to expect.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

Can you match an avocado or pink bath?

Yes, we match coloured baths too. The colour is tinted by hand on the day.

How quickly can you book me in?

That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.

Can you repair a hole in a bath?

In most cases. Send us a picture of the hole and one from under the bath if you can.

Signs you need bath repair in West Wickham

The usual cause is something heavy dropped into the bath, and building work is a common culprit. Cracks in acrylic have a different cause: the bath isn’t properly supported, so it flexes under weight.

Send us a photo if you notice any of these:

  • A chip where the taps sit
  • Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
  • Chips along the edge of the bath
  • A cracked acrylic bath

What your quote should include

  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • How changes to the job are handled
  • A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

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

Looking after it afterwards

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Store metal items away from the bath
  • Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
  • Give the bath a quick rinse after use
  • Get any new chip repaired before it rusts

Give the repair the full curing time we recommend 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, turning a quick repair into a bigger one.

What affects the price in West Wickham

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

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: 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.

Quotes from your photos

Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • One picture of the whole bath
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

Repair or replace in West Wickham?

Think about the hidden costs of a new bath: removal and disposal, plumbing, a new panel, tiling and decorating. With a repair, it’s one visit and one price. Our bath repair starts from £95. A repair typically costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.

  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited

  • One-year guarantee on every repair

Work for landlords and builders

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, pictures and access details and we’ll handle the rest.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Greater London and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

What your bath is made of matters

Cast iron

Cast iron is heavy and rigid, finished with fired enamel. A chip down to the iron can rust, but the body of the bath lasts a very long time, so it’s always worth repairing.

Pressed steel

Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.

What happens on the day

The work is clean and fairly quiet. Protection goes down first, then the work takes a few hours, depending on the damage. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
  2. We fill the damage and sand it flush with the surrounding surface.
  3. We mix the colour on the day to match your bath’s exact shade.
  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.

Before we arrive

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
