Bath repair across TW18: what to expect

A repair fixes just the damaged area and blends it into the rest of the bath, which costs far less than replacing a fitted bath and the tiles around it. Most baths can be used again the day after. We work on cast iron enamel, pressed steel enamel and acrylic, and people most often call us about rusty patches near the plughole and a hole punched through by something heavy.

Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so there are no surprises. Then the area is sheeted and masked and we start. You can expect it to take two to three hours for most chips.

  1. Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
  2. The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased, and any rust is treated.
  3. Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
  4. Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
  5. We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the next day.

Should you replace it?

A repair makes sense whenever the damage is localised. It costs far less than a new bath plus fitting, it takes one visit, and nothing else in the room changes.

Comparing quotes

  • How the colour is matched
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
  • How soon you can use it again
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price

DIY kit or professional repair?

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

What a repair cannot fix

Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits too:

  • Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
  • Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
  • A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense

Different materials, different repairs

Pressed steel

Pressed steel is thinner and lighter, with an enamel finish like cast iron. Chips rust quickly on steel, especially around the waste, so repair chips early.

Composite and resin

Composite baths are dense and solid, and frequently freestanding. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, just like other baths.

TW18: your questions answered

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote and the next dates we have.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Of course, and it normally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Usually, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.

Can you quote from photos?

Nearly always. If photos don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

What areas do you cover?

Across the UK. Prices do not change with location.

Do you repair coloured baths?

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