How bath repair works in SW14

We see every kind of bath damage: dropped-bottle chips, plughole rust, acrylic cracks and impact holes. Each is repaired in place with a one-year guarantee. Common call-outs are for damage done while the bathroom was being fitted and an old repair that has yellowed or come loose, on acrylic, pressed steel enamel and whirlpool & spa baths.

Here’s how a visit typically runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and clear up. Allow a morning or an afternoon. Before we go, we will explain how long to leave it and how to look after it.

  1. We protect the bath and the floor around it.
  2. We clean, key and degrease the damage, and any rust is treated.
  3. Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
  4. Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
  5. We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the day after.

Prices in SW14

Around Mortlake

Around Mortlake, we work in homes near Hare and Hounds pub, Thomson House School and Ibstock Place School.

Mortlake has its own railway station: Mortlake station. A little further out are Barnes Hospital (within half a mile east) and Ubuntu Museum: African Museum of Humanity (1.1 miles south-east).

  • Local facilities include Municipal Borough of Acton (2.8 miles north)

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

Repair or replace?

Cast iron baths in particular are worth repairing: they’re very heavy to remove, especially upstairs, and a like-for-like replacement can be expensive. Repairing it leaves it where it is.

How we price bath repair

Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:

  • What the surface is made of
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • How much damage there is

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Send pictures for a quote

Phone photos are fine. Just ensure we can see:

  • Any details about the material
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole bath, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

How the damage happens

Most bath damage comes from something dropped: a shampoo bottle, a shower head, a tile or a tool during a refit. On steel and cast iron baths, any chip down to the metal will start to rust.

Customers generally contact us about:

  • Snagging damage from a refit
  • A failed DIY repair that is discoloured or lifting
  • Cracks in an acrylic bath
  • A chip where the taps sit

Repairs by material

Pressed steel

Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.

Composite and resin

Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour matched, just like other baths.

FAQs for SW14

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.

Is a cracked acrylic bath repairable?

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

How quickly can you book me in?

Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.

Is a bath repair durable?

A properly prepared repair should last a long time, and ours come with a one-year guarantee. Gentle cleaning helps it last.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across Greater London.
