Bath repair across SE7: what to expect

Repairing baths is what we do most. A chip by the taps, a crack in the base and a rust spot by the plughole are all repaired in place, normally in a single visit. Typical jobs include a kit repair that didn’t last and chips on the rim or sides, across whirlpool & spa baths, cast iron enamel and roll-top & freestanding.

From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes a few hours, depending on the damage, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. First, we check the damage against your pictures and agree the plan.
  2. Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
  3. The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
  4. We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
  5. Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.

Common problems we fix in SE7

Acrylic baths that crack nearly always have a support problem. Loose legs, no proper cradle or a floor that gives let the bath move until the acrylic gives way.

Common reasons people in SE7 contact us are:

  • Rusty patches near the plughole
  • Snagging damage from a refit
  • Chips under the taps
  • Scratches you can feel with a fingernail

What bath repair costs

Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • How much damage there is
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • The material

No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. 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.

Send pictures for a quote

When you take your photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Details of any past repairs

For a price in SE7, the easiest route is pictures: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

Honest limits

Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits too:

  • A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
  • Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
  • Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath

Repairing versus replacing

If the rest of the bath is in good condition, a repair is almost always the better choice. It costs less, takes less time and causes far less upheaval, and you keep the bath you chose. If the entire surface is worn, re-enamelling may make more sense, and we will tell you.

What your quote should include

  • Whether the price covers travel
  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • When it can be used again
  • Who turns up on the day

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

Pressed steel

Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.

FAQs for SE7

Can you repair a crack in an acrylic bath?

Most of the time. We reinforce the crack from behind, then fill and refinish the front, so access behind the panel is important.

What do you need from me?

Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.

What about rust by the waste?

Yes. We remove the rust and loose enamel, seal and fill the area, then colour-match the finish.

Will the repair show?

The goal is a repair that blends in. How well it disappears depends on the condition of the rest of the bath.

Is the work guaranteed?

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

Are you a vetted contractor?

We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

Can you repair a failed DIY repair?

Yes. We remove the old filler and start again. Tell us about it when you send pictures.
