About bath repair in SE15

A typical bath repair is a few hours’ work, and you can normally bathe again the next day. You will not need a plumber or tiler, because nothing is disconnected. We work on whirlpool & spa baths, cast iron enamel and acrylic, and people most often call us about snagging damage from a refit and scuffs and scratches in the surface.

Arrival times are agreed in advance. Once we are there, the work takes a morning or an afternoon in most cases. We leave the room clean.

  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. We mix the colour on the day to match your bath’s exact shade.
  4. We apply the finish coats and polish the repair so it blends in.
  5. We leave it to cure; you can normally use the bath the next day.

Cost

Our bath repair starts from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Looking after it afterwards

So the finish stays in good condition:

  • Put a towel in the bath if you’re working above it
  • Don’t scrub with anything abrasive
  • Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
  • Do not leave razors or cans standing in the bath

A repaired bath needs no special treatment, just sensible cleaning. Avoid bleach-based and gritty cleaners.

Tape over a fresh chip or crack until it’s repaired, so water can’t get in. Take it off before we arrive.

Why repair rather than replace?

If the rest of the bath is in good condition, a repair is almost always the better choice. It’s quicker, cheaper and far less disruptive, and you keep the bath you chose. Where the whole surface is tired, we may suggest re-enamelling instead.

Questions to ask before booking

  • What aftercare is recommended
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • What happens if they find more damage
  • When it can be used again

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Cast iron

A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that is what we repair.

Composite and resin

Composite baths are dense and solid, and often freestanding. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, in much the same way.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

What affects the price in SE15

Repairs from £95. You’ll know the full cost before you book. We look at:

  • The type of damage
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Access to the area
  • How many areas need work

Instead of hourly rates, 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.

How to get a fixed price

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

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A wider photo showing the whole bath

Email us a picture of the damage and one of the whole item, with your SE15 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

FAQs for SE15

How quickly can you book me in?

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

Can you redo an old repair?

Yes. We take out the old repair and do it properly. Mention it when you send pictures.

Do you repair coloured baths?

Yes. We mix the colour on the day to match, including older coloured suites.

Is there any odour?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It fades as everything cures.

Are there extra charges for SE15?

There is no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.

Do you work in SE15?

Yes. We work across the UK and come to SE15. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

How invisible is a bath repair?

On a glossy bath, you’ll struggle to find it. On older, dull enamel the repair can look glossier than the area around it.
