About bath repair in SE27

Small damage on a bath is worth repairing early. On steel and cast iron, exposed metal starts to rust, while cracks in acrylic grow each time the bath moves. A repair stops both. Common call-outs are for impact holes in acrylic and scuffs and scratches in the surface, in acrylic, cast iron enamel and roll-top & freestanding.

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you’re not left guessing. Once we are there, the work takes a few hours, depending on the damage in most cases. The room is left tidy and ready to use once it has cured.

  1. Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
  2. We clean, key and degrease the damage.
  3. Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
  4. Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
  5. We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, normally the day after.

What you’ll pay

Prices start from £95. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

  • Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
  • Metal that has corroded all the way through
  • Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet

What we are called out for in SE27

Most bath damage comes from something dropped: a shampoo bottle, a shower head, a tile or a tool during a refit. On steel and cast iron baths, a chip that reaches the metal lets water in, and rust follows.

The most common problems we’re called about are:

  • A hole punched through by something heavy
  • A failed DIY repair that is discoloured or lifting
  • Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
  • Chips caused by builders

Repairs by material

Composite and resin

Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour matched, just like other baths.

Pressed steel

Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.

What bath repair costs

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

  • The material
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • The type of damage
  • Whether we combine several jobs

We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

How to get a fixed price

When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • The material, if you know it
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Where you are, by postcode

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job without visiting.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
