How bath repair works in SW4

Bath repair is our most common job. Chips on the rim, rust around the waste and cracks in acrylic are all repaired in place, normally in one visit. We work on cast iron enamel, whirlpool & spa baths and pressed steel enamel, and the jobs we see most are rust spots around the plughole and chips on the rim or sides.

On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll get on with it. The job generally runs to a few hours, tidy-up included.

  1. We start by cleaning the damage and taking out loose enamel and rust.
  2. We fill the damage and sand it flush with the surrounding surface.
  3. We mix the colour on the day to match your bath’s exact shade.
  4. We apply the finish coats and polish the repair so it blends in.
  5. The repair is left to cure, and most baths can be used the following day.

Pricing in SW4

Prices start from £95. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

How to get a price

You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

What’s near Clapham

Locally, our jobs take us to homes close to Clapham Manor Primary School, St Paul's Church and Lambeth Academy, among other places. You will also find The Bread and Roses pub (within half a mile south-east), Trinity Academy (1 mile south-east) and Larkhall Park (0.5 miles north-east). There’s a railway station in Clapham itself: Clapham High Street station. Well-known places in the area include Soseki Museum (within half a mile west) and Streatham Hill (1.9 miles south). For a walk, there is Battersea Park Lake and Knight's Hill.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

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.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

What affects the price in SW4

Repairs from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Access to the area

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book.

Quotes from your photos

Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To make it quick:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Details of any past repairs
  • The material, if you know it

To get a price, send two or three photos using our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

What we are called out for in SW4

The usual cause is something heavy dropped into the bath, and building work is a common culprit. Cracks in acrylic have a different cause: poor support underneath, so the bath flexes when it’s full.

People generally call us after spotting something like this:

  • Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
  • Chips on the rim or sides
  • Rusty patches near the plughole
  • A chip where the taps sit

Different materials, different repairs

Acrylic

An acrylic bath is a moulded sheet strengthened from below. They don’t rust, but they can crack, scratch or be holed, and a crack only stays repaired if it’s supported underneath.

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.

Honest limits

We won’t take on work that will not last, so these are the limits:

  • Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
  • Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
  • Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath

Questions from SW4

Is it safe with children and pets around?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.

Are you a vetted contractor?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.

Can landlords book you?

We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Can tenants book a repair?

We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just ensure the landlord agrees.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Usually, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
