Bath repair at your home in TW1

Most of our bath repairs take a few hours, and you can typically bathe again the following day. You won’t need a plumber or tiler, because nothing is disconnected. Our technicians work on acrylic, cast iron enamel and whirlpool & spa baths, and common reasons people contact us are damage beneath the taps and damage done while the bathroom was being fitted.

Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so there are no surprises. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and we start. It normally takes two to three hours for most chips, and we will keep you posted as we go.

  1. We protect the bath and the floor around it.
  2. The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased.
  3. Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
  4. Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
  5. We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, normally the following day.

Cost

Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. 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.

Honest limits

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • A steel bath rusted through
  • Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we can’t get to from below
  • Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet

Different materials, different repairs

Composite and resin

Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour matched, in much the same way.

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are thick and very strong, finished with fired enamel. A chip down to the iron can rust, but the bath itself lasts for generations, which makes it well worth repairing.

Landlords, agents and businesses in TW1

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, pictures and access details and we’ll handle the rest.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. You’ll know the full cost before you book. We look at:

  • The material and finish
  • The type of damage
  • How many areas need work
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

A repair generally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Send photos for a quote

Two or three clear pictures are normally enough. Try to include:

  • Any details about the material
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A wider photo showing the entire bath

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos using our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

Keeping it looking good

Aftercare is simple:

  • Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
  • Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
  • Rinse it down after each bath
  • Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale

Leave the repair to cure for as long as we say before using the bath. From then on, mild cleaning is all it needs.

Stop using the bath if a crack lets water through. Water under the bath can damage the floor and the ceiling below.
