How bath repair works in SM5

Chips, cracks, rust spots and small holes can be repaired with the bath left exactly where it is. There’s no plumbing to disconnect, the tiles are not touched, and the repaired area is colour matched so it blends in. Our technicians work on roll-top & freestanding, pressed steel enamel and whirlpool & spa baths, and the jobs we see most are deep scratches in acrylic and an old repair that has yellowed or come loose.

We work cleanly and quietly, so you can carry on at home. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a few hours, depending on the damage. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to care for it.

  1. First, we check the damage against your photos and agree the plan.
  2. Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
  3. We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
  4. The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
  5. Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.

What we’re called out for in SM5

Heavy toiletries are the biggest single cause of chips. Fittings cause damage too: water sits around them, and any chip there soon rusts.

Send us a picture if you notice any of these:

  • Rust by the waste and overflow
  • Scuffs and scratches in the surface
  • Chips on the rim or sides
  • Impact holes in acrylic

DIY repairs versus a professional job

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.

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

Aftercare tips

A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:

  • Make sure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
  • Rinse it down after each bath
  • Store metal items away from the bath
  • Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale

Use gentle, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy items on the repaired area. Get any new chip seen to quickly, before rust can start.

Rust under enamel spreads surprisingly quickly. A chip the size of a fingernail can become a much larger patch if it’s left for months, so it pays to deal with it early.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:

  • The type of damage
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • 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

Two or three clear photos are generally enough. It helps if you send:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Details of any past repairs
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • One picture of the entire bath

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures using our quote form or ring us. We will say straight away whether it can be repaired.

Questions from SM5

What happens next?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote.

What information do you need?

Photos of the damage, a photo of the entire bath and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.

How soon can you come?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.

Will the repair last?

It should, as long as the bath is firm and the area was prepared well. It carries our one-year guarantee.

Which areas do you work in?

We cover the whole UK, including SM5 and the rest of Greater London. Send your postcode with your photos and we’ll offer you dates.

Is there any odour?

There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.
