About our bath repair in Winchmore Hill

A damaged bath doesn’t have to mean a new bathroom. Our repair technicians fill, shape and refinish the damage, mixing the colour on the day. Typical jobs include a failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting and chips under the taps, across cast iron enamel, pressed steel enamel and whirlpool & spa baths.

Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Composite and resin

Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid, and often freestanding. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, in much the same way.

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • What the surface is made of
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Unusual colours or finishes

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before booking.

Send photos for a quote

Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A wider photo showing the whole bath
  • Details of any past repairs

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures through our quote form or call us. We will say straight away if a repair is the right fix.

When a repair is not the answer

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • Wear across the entire surface, which needs re-enamelling
  • A steel bath rusted through
  • Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we can’t get to from below

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.

What we work on

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

Repairing versus replacing in Winchmore Hill

Cast iron baths in particular are worth repairing: getting one out, particularly from an upstairs bathroom, is a big job, and a like-for-like replacement can be expensive. A repair keeps it in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Why us?

  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • We leave the room as we found it
  • No extra charge for your area

Aftercare tips

A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:

  • Store metal items away from the bath
  • Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
  • Don’t leave a fresh chip for long
  • Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby

Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy items on the repaired area. Deal with new chips early, before rust sets in.

Avoid standing in a cracked acrylic bath until it’s fixed. Each time it flexes, the crack grows, and water can get through to the floor below.

What happens on the day

Visits start with a quick look at the job together. Then the area is sheeted and masked and the work begins. Allow a morning or an afternoon, and we will keep you posted as we go.

  1. First, we check the damage against your photos and agree the plan.
  2. Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
  3. The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
  4. The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
  5. Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.

Preparing for the visit

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

DIY repairs versus a professional job

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 generally the cheaper route.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
