How bath repair works in SE9

Repairing baths is what we do most. Chips on the rim, rust around the waste and cracks in acrylic are all repaired in place, typically in a single visit. We’re frequently asked to fix chips on the rim or sides and chips caused by builders, across roll-top & freestanding, pressed steel enamel and acrylic.

From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes two to three hours for most chips, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
  2. We fill the damage and sand it flush with the surrounding surface.
  3. We tint the finish on the day to suit your bath’s shade of white or colour.
  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 day after.

Cost

Our bath repair starts from £95. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Aftercare tips

Aftercare is simple:

  • Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
  • Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
  • Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
  • If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted

Do not leave razors, cans or hair grips in the bath, because they can mark the enamel. And fix dripping taps promptly.

Small chips are quick to repair. Leave them and they collect dirt, stain and, on metal baths, rust, so early repair saves time and money.

Work for landlords and builders

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

What we’re called out for in SE9

Many chips happen while the bathroom is being fitted. Tradespeople drop tools and tiles into the bath, frequently before anyone notices. Snagging repairs like these are a regular job for us.

You may need us if you’ve spotted:

  • A chip where the taps sit
  • Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
  • A failed DIY repair that is discoloured or lifting
  • Chips along the edge of the bath

DIY kit or professional repair?

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.

When we would advise against a repair

Not everything can be repaired, and we will tell you before we start. Repairs will not solve:

  • Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
  • Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
  • Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet

Common questions in SE9

Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Do you come to SE9?

Yes, we do. We send a technician to SE9 for every job, with no extra charge for travel.

How do I get a price for bath repair in SE9?

Prices start from £95. We give a fixed quote from your pictures. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your SE9 postcode.

Can you quote from pictures?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Normally, yes. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send photos.

Yes, we match coloured baths too. The colour is tinted by hand on the day.

Can you repair a failed DIY repair?

Regularly. The old material comes out, any rust is treated, then we repair it properly.
