Our bath repair service in SE16

Bath repair is our most common job. Chips on the rim, rust around the waste and cracks in acrylic are all fixed without removing the bath, normally in one visit. We regularly repair whirlpool & spa baths, acrylic and cast iron enamel, and common reasons people get in touch are snagging damage from a refit and rusty patches near the plughole.

When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take two to three hours for most chips. We clean up when we’re done and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
  2. We clean, key and degrease the damage, and any rust is treated.
  3. Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
  4. We match both the colour and the shine.
  5. We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, usually the following day.

What you’ll pay

Our bath repair starts from £95. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to SE16. The price comes down to:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • How hard the colour is to match

Compared with replacing, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

How to get a fixed price

You can take the pictures on your phone, there is no need for anything special. Just make sure we can see:

  • One picture of the entire bath
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

We price from photos so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.

Honest limits

Some jobs are not right for a repair, including:

  • Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
  • A whole bath that is dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
  • A steel bath rusted through

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Composite and resin

Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour-matched, in much the same way.

Pressed steel

Pressed steel is thinner and lighter, with an enamel finish like cast iron. Exposed steel rusts fast, particularly by the plughole, so early repairs matter.

Should you replace it?

Think about the hidden costs of a new bath: taking out the old one, plumbing, tiling, a panel and redecorating. With a repair, it’s one visit and one price.

Questions to ask before booking

  • Whether the price covers travel
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • When it can be used again
  • What prep work is covered

Work for landlords and builders

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we will arrange it.

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

SE16: your questions answered

What areas do you cover?

We work UK-wide, so SE16 is covered. Prices do not change with location.

Is there a guarantee?

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.

Is a bath repair durable?

A properly prepared repair should last a long time, and ours come with a one-year guarantee. Gentle cleaning helps it last.

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

You get a fixed price and available dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.

Is there any odour?

It depends on the job, but often a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Typically, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Will you leave a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
