Bath repair across SW1P: what to expect

Small damage on a bath is worth repairing early. On steel and cast iron, exposed metal starts to rust, and on acrylic, a crack keeps spreading while the bath flexes. Repairing it stops the damage getting worse. We work on roll-top & freestanding, pressed steel enamel and acrylic, and common reasons people get in touch are a hole punched through by something heavy and chips along the edge of the bath.

The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can carry on at home. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes a few hours. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to care for it.

  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. We tint the finish on the day to suit your bath’s shade of white or colour.
  4. We build up the finish and polish it into the surrounding enamel.
  5. Once it has cured, generally by the next day, the bath is ready to use.

When we would advise against a repair

It helps to know what we cannot do:

  • Metal that has corroded all the way through
  • Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
  • A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)

Keeping it looking good

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

  • Ensure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
  • Put a towel in the bath if you are working above it
  • Have new chips seen to early
  • Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners

A repaired bath needs no special treatment, beyond gentle cleaning. Avoid bleach-based and gritty cleaners and rinse after use.

A chip on a metal bath shouldn’t be left. Once water reaches the metal, rust begins, and a rust spot is a bigger repair than a clean chip.

What affects the price in SW1P

Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. This is what makes a difference:

  • What the surface is made of
  • Access to the area
  • How many areas need work
  • The type of damage

The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before booking, with no extras added later.

Getting a price from pictures

You can usually get a fixed price without us visiting. To make it quick:

  • A wider photo showing the entire bath
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

Upload photos of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you are in SW1P, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

Repair or replace?

When the bath is otherwise sound, repairing beats replacing. It’s quicker, cheaper and far less disruptive, and you keep the bath you chose. If the whole surface is worn, re-enamelling may make more sense, and we’ll tell you.
