Bath repair across SW5: what to expect

A repair fixes just the damaged area and blends it into the rest of the bath, which is far cheaper than replacing a fitted bath. Most baths can be used again the next day. Our repair technicians work on cast iron enamel, whirlpool & spa baths and pressed steel enamel, and the jobs we see most are holes from dropped items and chips caused by builders.

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a few hours, depending on the damage. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.

  1. We clean the area and remove any loose enamel or rust.
  2. The chip or crack is filled, then sanded level with the bath.
  3. We mix the colour on the day to match your bath’s exact shade.
  4. We build up the finish and polish it into the surrounding enamel.
  5. We leave it to cure; you can normally use the bath the next day.

What it costs in SW5

Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

What bath repair costs

Prices start from £95. We price every job individually, from your photos. The main factors are:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • What kind of damage it is
  • How much damage there is
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Send pictures for a quote

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • The material, if you know it
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

To get a price, send two or three pictures 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 SW5

Rust tends to begin where water collects, by the plughole, beneath dripping taps or in an unrepaired chip. Once water reaches the steel or iron, rust spreads under the enamel.

Most people contact us when they notice something like this:

  • Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
  • A chip where the taps sit
  • A failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting
  • Holes from dropped items

Aftercare tips

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Do not scrub with anything abrasive
  • Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
  • Rinse it down after each bath
  • Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby

Give the repair the full curing time we recommend before running a bath. From then on, mild cleaning is all it needs.

Stop using the bath if a crack lets water through until it’s repaired. Leaks under a bath can damage floors and ceilings.

Landlords, agents and businesses in SW5

Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Different materials, different repairs

Cast iron

A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that is what we repair.

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

Is there any odour?

Expect a mild smell while we’re working.

Do you cover the whole of Greater London?

Everywhere in the UK, SW5 included. There’s no extra charge for travel.
