Bath repair across SW9: what to expect

We see every kind of bath damage: chips from dropped bottles, rust round the plughole, cracks in acrylic and holes from falling tools. All of it is repaired where the bath stands with a one-year guarantee. Common call-outs are for chips along the edge of the bath and a cracked acrylic bath, on pressed steel enamel, whirlpool & spa baths and cast iron enamel.

We begin by going over the job with you. Then the area is sheeted and masked and the work begins. You can expect it to take two to three hours for most chips, and we will keep you posted as we go.

  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 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. The repair is left to cure, and most baths can be used the next day.

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.

Questions to ask before booking

  • What prep work is covered
  • Who turns up on the day
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • If travel is included in the price

For landlords and businesses

For anyone letting property in or around SW9, we will quote for several properties at once. Just send pictures for each address and we’ll come back with a combined price.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

Repairs by material

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

Composite and resin

Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, just like other baths.

How the damage happens

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.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

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

Can I fix it myself?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

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

Questions from SW9

Can you repair a chip on a coloured bath?

Yes. The colour is mixed on site to suit your bath, including older coloured suites.

Will you leave a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.

Something went through my bath. Can it be fixed?

In most cases. Photos of the hole and the underside help us check.

Is my repair covered?

Yes: twelve months. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Can you repair a crack in an acrylic bath?

In most cases. The back of the crack is strengthened before the front is filled and refinished, so access behind the panel is important.

Do you charge for travel?

Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.

What areas do you cover?

Everywhere in the UK, SW9 included. Travel is included in the price.
