Our bath repair service in SM1

We have repaired just about every kind of bath damage: chips from dropped bottles, rust round the plughole, cracks in acrylic and holes from falling tools. All of it is repaired where the bath stands with a one-year guarantee. We’re often asked to fix damage beneath the taps and snagging damage from a refit, on pressed steel enamel, whirlpool & spa baths and cast iron enamel.

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 tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
  2. The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased, and any rust is treated.
  3. We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
  4. Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
  5. We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the following day.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.

How to care for the repair

Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:

  • Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
  • Make sure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
  • Store metal items away from the bath
  • Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath

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

A small chip is a quick job. Left alone, they stain and can rust, so early repair saves time and money.

For landlords and businesses

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

What we’re called out for in SM1

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.

The most common problems we’re called about are:

  • A chipped rim or side
  • Snagging damage from a refit
  • Deep scratches in acrylic
  • Cracks in an acrylic bath

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are thick and very strong, with a fused enamel surface. Chips can rust if left, but the body of the bath lasts a very long time, which makes it well worth repairing.

Composite and resin

Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid, and frequently freestanding. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, in much the same way.
