Bath repair at your home in SL6

Bath repair is our most common job. A chip by the taps, a crack in the base and a rust spot by the plughole are all fixed without removing the bath, normally in one visit. Our technicians work on roll-top & freestanding, acrylic and pressed steel enamel, and people most frequently call us about snagging damage from a refit and a hole punched through by something heavy.

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and clear up. Allow two to three hours for most chips from start to finish. Before we go, we’ll explain when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. We clean the area and remove any loose enamel or rust.
  2. Next we fill the damage and sand it smooth and level.
  3. The colour is mixed on the spot to match your bath.
  4. We build up the finish and polish it into the surrounding enamel.
  5. Once it has cured, typically by the following day, the bath is ready to use.

Landlord and trade work in SL6

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

If you manage property in SL6, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send photos for each one and we will price them together.

Different materials, different repairs

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.

Cast iron

A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that’s the part we put right.

What a repair cannot fix

A repair isn’t right for every job, including:

  • Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
  • Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we cannot get to from below
  • Metal that has corroded all the way through

Aftercare tips

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
  • Check that an acrylic bath doesn’t move when you stand in it
  • Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
  • Have new chips seen to early

Leave the repair to cure for as long as we say before running a bath. From then on, mild cleaning is all it needs.

If water is getting through a crack, stop using the bath. Water under the bath can damage the floor and the ceiling below.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

Your questions about bath repair in SL6

Will the price change on the day?

The price is fixed for what the photos show. If there’s more, we’ll tell you before starting.

When can I have a bath again?

Normally by the following day, though it depends on what we have done.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

How do I book?

Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we will take it from there.

Is a repair better than a new one?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

Are there extra charges for SL6?

Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.

What about rust by the waste?

Yes, it’s one of the most common repairs we do. The rust is cut back to clean metal and sealed before we fill and finish it.
